Croup - Good As Gone lyrics

Check this out, man. My homeboy called me up on the phone He's all bawling and crying and sh**, talking about his girl had broke up I'm like “n***a, what?” Know what I'm saying! Verse one: My homie hit me on the horn and 4 in the morn, son was all choked up I'm yawning, he talking about him and his jawn broke up My first thought was “so what!” the f** a n***a crying for But shorty had his mind in a blindfold He would climb mountains and walk through fire to get admired by her A day without her, he felt like he stopped living He placed faith in her, lobster and steak dinners She straight played with him, treated him like chopped liver He said, I used to be the dude that she was loyal to I used to feel like our future plans were foil-proof Then I began to mature, know what I'm saying mi amor She began to explore and ignore the truth All she ever did was b**h about this and that I gave her intellect but she preferred disrespect I dug my own grave trying to hard The broad treated me like U-God, there's nothing left to RZArect So I had to disconnect, packed my belongings No longer will she stomp on this brother with a good heart Now she's crying “come back”, she's turned a new page Who's to say she ain't changed? but I don't wanna be her bookmark I mean really man I've dedicated years She was easily impressed by new n***as in ear Understand what I'm saying, Kam and where I'm coming from? And I responded “yeah, sounds like my career” Chorus: See you'll never miss the water ‘til the well runs dry You realize good things are hard to come by When you're left empty-handed ‘cause you're taken for granted The moment that you miss it is when it's not by your side You gone miss it when it's good as gone, when it's good as gone When it's good as what what, it's good as gone When it's good as gone, when it's good as gone When it's good as what what, it's good as gone Verse two: My brother, Kev stopped by the crib a Sunday or two ago Right when I had finished up a verse in the studio He said it's gotta be beautiful, loving what you're doing, bro Compensated for doing shows out in Europe, yo He said for what it's worth, I work at this business firm But my 9 to 5's kind of like a prison term An ego circus with me and my co-workers I got big dreams but the screen's close circuit I break my back for the paper stacks The backbone of the company, they're fronting when I want a raise These Uncle Toms just happy to have a job Look back at me like I'm odd whenever I say I'm underpaid And some people think the universe is in my hands Just because a brother's on a different pay scale Hell, I mean I do get perks and it was cool at first Am I ungrateful ‘cause I raise hell? All my good deeds, no! nobody mentions it When I mention should leave the job now they're interested Said I'm a great representative But won't spend a dime on me, man I'm trying to make sense of it I probably would've stayed longer if I would've known But people rarely honor things ‘til their good as gone You feel me, Kam? man, I've had it up to here I responded back, “yeah, you described my career” Chorus: See you'll never miss the water ‘til the well runs dry You realize good things are hard to come by When you're left empty-handed ‘cause you're taken for granted The moment that you miss it is when it's not by your side You gone miss it when it's good as gone, when it's good as gone When it's good as what what, it's good as gone When it's good as gone, when it's good as gone When it's good as what what, it's good as gone
