1998 Lyrics by ELHAE

Before You Go

2013

Yeah (Ah)
Oh (Ah Ah Ah)

[Verse 1]

I’ve been through it
Nine years and a n**** still here (I’m still here)
It’s hard to keep going when you looking all around and your n****s ain’t here (no where, no where)
Something you got to deal with
I won’t quit til you feel this (Uh)
And your mind and your soul and you never really know when it’s your time to go
That’s why (that’s why)
We got to keep pressing, middle finger to depression
No question I got to make it known that I’m here to be a legend and if you don’t agree
To come to a session, exercise every right that I have
Im a try to make you cry, I’m a try to make you laugh
Just wanna provide for every n**** that I have that have my back, ride in a Cadillac
How bad is that? (Uh)
I’m to cool, I love women but a n**** no fool
I don’t care what a n**** say do, it's a n**** like me, it's a n**** like you (Ah yeah, yeah)
Coming for your spot, can’t escape the sun is to hot
Trying to make the run with your drop
Don’t believe me just watch (Just watch)

[Chorus]

I don’t know, I don’t care
Take a leap and say a prayer
See the best and take me there (take me there) (Ah Ah ah)
Take me there
I don’t know (Ah Ah)
Take me there
Take a leap and say a prayer
See the best and take me there (take me there, take me there)
Yeah (Uh)

[Verse 2]

You got to understand that the nine years are kind of hard to be a fam and you feel like you the best at what you do
You look in the mirror and know there’s more like you
With ambition, determination, dedication play the game and stay the same
It’s impossible through obstacles
We don’t know but we got to make it known through every place we know
Oh (Ah ah)
Dear Lord, I forgot my faith and I forgot my sword
I got a lot to lose and I forgot which floor that I was on
When I really went through that door
I know, they gonna judge me (yeah)
Like they do every sinner
(Uh) they gonna profile me, like they do a n*****
Right? But what can you do
There’s so much to say and so much to prove
Your really the same but they treat you like new
And that’s when you feel like you not even you
It’s so hard to deal, it’s so hard to stay true
Strangers is what they start turning into
And I don’t know why that I never knew
Even if I would win, I would still lose
It’s like

[Chorus]

I don’t know, I don’t care, take a leap and say a prayer (yeah)
See the best and take me there
Take me there, take me there (yeah)
I don’t know, I don’t care, take a leap and say a prayer
See the best and take me there
Take me there, Uh Uh Uh
Take me there
Yeah

Elhae (there)
I see the best, take me there (Dreamloud)

[Outro]

Yeah
No no no no no no
I don’t know, I don’t care
No no no
I don’t know, I don’t care
Before you go, Can we go back?
Before you go, Can we go back?
Can we go back?
