Gone - Terrace Martin, Robert Glasper

Before you decide to leave it behind

Once, twice, go

You’re moving too fast and you can’t rewind

Once, twice, go

It’s a new era

Two steps ahead, and I’m ready for whatever

Life ain’t easy, I took a few fair ones

Move in silence, my legacy is making sure that my beats

And my heart’s in sync, doing me is really all I can do

The elephant in the room, either you’re with me or not

Friend or foe, really, they be hard to spot

I play to win, why ask «why?»

It’s about the element of surprise

Old soul, I could show you right

Black, white, or even gray, what would you decide?

But, yo, people walk around with their high hopes

Head in the sky, living life with their eyes closed

Remember, you could stop but time won’t wait

So if you ain’t got a vision, what you here for?

Momma said, «Just pray, and be patient»

Man, I’m just sayin'

Before you decide to leave it behind

Once, twice, go

You’re moving too fast and you can’t rewind

Once, twice, go

No rear-view mirrors, no recollection of scars

I’m stearing clear of all my flaws

I don’t even wanna remember

Just give me space, I’ll be gone 'til November

Forever young, a born sinner

I wish Mike was here, so he could see

Unfold before my eyes, I’m tryna fight back tears

Bittersweet memories, mixing iced tea and Hennessy

Lord, protect my enemies

Which is me, I’m dyin' to find a proper energy

I need a direct current, what-if's constantly reoccurring

My 3 chords can’t fold, I’m just reaffirming

Before you decide to leave it behind

Once, twice, go

You’re moving too fast and you can’t rewind

Once, twice, go

Me no pick up the phone

Can you blame me, call me crazy?

Man, just leave me alone

Peace of mind is needed

Why you interrupting my zone?

Homie, can’t disrespect my business

And my children with your negative tone

It’s principles, cause I don’t wanna have to pick up the chrome

So chill, and let’s keep it cool

I be doin' me, and you do you

Opportunity knocks, so don’t miss a queue

How you executin' your mission while you watching the tube?

Fool, slackin' on your hustle

Can’t be mad, man, it’s all on you

Real talk, no denying the truth

Got my city on lock, homie, that’s the key

Do my mic' sounds nice

Check, one… two… three… Chord… Fold

Before you decide to leave it behind

Once, twice, go

You’re moving too fast and you can’t rewind

Once, twice, go

Hidden Track: «Can't Help It (Michael Jackson Tribute)»

Looking in my mirror

Took me by surprise

I can’t help but see you

Running often through my mind

Helpless like a baby

Sensual disguise

I cannot help but love you

It is getting better all the time

I can’t help it if I wanted to

I would not help it even if I could

I can’t help it if I wanted to

I wouldn’t help it, no

Love to run my fingers

Softly while you sigh

Love came and possessed you

Bringing sparkles in your eyes

Like a trip to heaven

Heaven is the prize

And I am so glad I found you, girl

You are an angel in disguise

I can’t help it if I wanted to

I would not help it even if I could

I can’t help it if I wanted to

I wouldn’t help it, no

And I am so glad I found you, girl

You are an angel in disguise

I can’t help it if I wanted to

I would not help it even if I could

I can’t help it if I wanted to

I wouldn’t help it, no
