The Gift - When I'm Gone lyrics

[Verse 1: Joey Purp] Uh, I'm sick of waiting, I'm sick and tired, I'm sick, I hate it I'm sick of outside opinions, I just ran out of patience I'm sick of writing these raps, stuck in this f**ing basement Knowing you the best and they telling you just to be complacent I'm tired of fickle fans, don't understand my new direction I'm sick of people too closed-minded to view progressions [Break: Teddy Jackson] All I wanna know is what they gon' do when I'm gone [Verse 2: Joey Purp] My n***a just had a baby, his baby mama crazy He bought her houses, new clothes and even a new Mercedes All they ever do now is argue about who f**ing lazy Who he creeping with, where he going and who he texting lately My n***a got two jobs, and still he gotta hustle He said "you'll never trust me, how dare you expect me to trust you" [Break: Teddy Jackson] All I wanna know is what you gon' do when I'm gone [Verse 3: Joey Purp] (I'm right back) I remember slaving away with a 9 to 5 Bad enough, I've been stuck in a f**ing dead-end job My boss is telling me I decide to show up late one more time I'mma be filling out applications, n***a, you must be high When you was hiding in the back when this b**h a** got robbed You fired me over nothing but five minutes of time [Break: Teddy Jackson] All I wanna know is what you gon' do when I'm gone [Verse 4: Joey Purp] (Let me keep going) They wanna fire the teachers, policemen and the preacher I guess religion is useless and education evil The system just made a victim out of innocent people Set us up for failure and teaching us that we not are equal What if they close the police stations and the fire stations And the school is shut down and politicians' buildings vacant? [Break: Teddy Jackson] All I wanna know is what we gon' do when they gone [Verse 5: Joey Purp] (I got this) If I see the day when they bury me or my casket closed And could look down at my funeral while my spirit rose I wonder if I would be remembered as a sinner or saint Or just another dead young n***a, victim to bullet holes If I don't make it, or if they take me before my time I rest a**ured that through these lines, I'll be still alive [Break: Teddy Jackson] All I wanna know is what they gon' do when I'm gone
