Well, well, well, well
Hello baby
For one day ya here
And then ya gone
I'm waking up to anotha day it's amazing it's gettin' crazy
'Cuz why I wonder how I stuck this out I got this touch this pain
And may be this might just be my prayers be
As in these strange ways stuck in these strange nights
'Cuz if ya hood like mine hood yur good
'Cuz the world is the ghetto we gone go get locked upped
Ya'll go get ya hussle on and ya struggles on one day
Ya here and then the next day ya gone
One day ya here baby
And then ya gone
(Next day ya gone)
One day ya here baby
And then ya gone
(Next day ya gone)
One day ya here baby
And then ya gone
(Next day ya gone)
One day ya here baby
And then ya gone
(Next day ya gone)
See, everyday we complain about lil' ups and downs
We needa be thanking the Lord that we're still around
You'll never ever know
When it is your time to go and
I know its hurtin' so bad when we lose people that we love
Gotta use that example and try and straighten up
You gotta live everyday as if its ya last one
So one minute ya here and the next day ya gone
One day ya here baby
And then ya gone
(Next day ya gone)
One day ya here baby
And then ya gone
(Next day ya gone)
One day ya here baby
And then ya gone
(Next day ya gone)
One day ya here baby
And then ya gone
(Next day ya gone)
See lately I wake up in the morning wanting to cry
I bend my knees and I raise my head up into the sky
And sometimes I just can't fight my
Feelings I have inside
See I always wished that you would be here right by my side
How bad I told you I love you so much before you die
I knew you couldn't and wouldn't be here for very long
So one minute ya here and the next day ya gone
One day ya here baby
And then ya gone
(Next day ya gone)
One day ya here baby
And then ya gone
(Next day ya gone)
One day ya here baby
And then ya gone
(Next day ya gone)
One day ya here baby
And then ya gone
(Next day ya gone)
See, what I mean for ya oughta know
That livin' life can come and go
Ya gotta face reality
I want the world to sing with me
Sometimes the world that we live in
Don't seem so fair or forgiven
See these streets are hard to survive in
'Cuz all day you see people dyin'
And I pray that one day we all see
That life ain't promised to you
And life ain't promised to me
Never forget this and be clear
We don't know how long we gon' be here
We're gon', so gon'
I know, you know
Yeah, I'm gonna lie, lie, lie
One day ya here baby
And then ya gone
(Next day ya gone)
One day ya here baby
And then ya gone
(Next day ya gone)
One day ya here baby
And then ya gone
(Next day ya gone)
One day ya here baby
And then ya gone
(Next day ya gone)
Don't leave me baby
I know, you know
Know, know, know, know, know, know
Yeah, yeah
