Before

(album: Never Too Late - 2017)

Ain't no sunshine when you gone (when you gone)
That's why you can never leave me low (you know you can never leave me low)
I don't wanna spend the night on the floor like before no more, no
Waiting at the door like before no more, no
Happy ever after, living better than before (living better than before)

Working on the late shift daily
Wrapping up the same gift daily, yeah
I can never bend like Mercedes
Following the leader that's doper than the 80s, yeah
I know I still got some family in dark places
I got brothers praying, tryna beat some large cases
Angels in the outfield running all the bases
If we ever tripping they gon' tighten up the laces
Thinking in the back of my head
Everything my OG said
Finally here, this is not a drill, code red
Told my folk get ready 'cause the word gon' spread

Ain't no sunshine when you gone (when you gone)
That's why you can never leave me low (you know you can never leave me low)
I don't wanna spend the night on the floor like before no more, no
Waiting at the door like before no more, no
Happy ever after, living better than before (living better than before)

I got memories in my head
When I was living sick with no meds
At the roundtable still breaking bread
God did it, I ain't taking no cred
Going through the levels of my lifestyle goals
Coming through your city on 200-mile roads
Crocodile hunter, making crocodiles fold
I'm a living witness, you can make a child gold
Never stop believing even if you think it's over
I remember battlefield fights with the soldiers
Keep them haters yapping 'cause I need 'em for exposure
'Bout to wake 'em up, I just might change my name to folgers

Ain't no sunshine when you gone (when you gone)
That's why you can never leave me low (you know you can never leave me low)
I don't wanna spend the night on the floor like before no more, no
Waiting at the door like before no more, no
Happy ever after, living better than before (living better than before)
