Till

I dedicate this record, the Carnival to all you brothers

Takin’ long trips down South, Virginia, Baltimore, all around the world

And your girl gets this message that you ain’t comin’ back

She’s sittin’ back in her room, the lights is off

She’s cryin’ and then my voice comes in pow

In the middle of the night and this is what I told her for you

Every time I make a run, girl, you turn around and cry

I ask myself why, oh why

See, you must understand, I can’t work a 9 to 5

So I’ll be gone till November

Said,"I’ll be gone till November, I’ll be gone till November

You tell my girl, yo, I’ll be gone till November

I’ll be gone till November, I’ll be gone till November

You tell my girl, yo, I’ll be gone till November"

January, February, March, April, May

I see you cryin’ but girl, I can’t stay

I’ll be gone till November, I’ll be gone till November

And give a kiss to my mother

When I come back, there’ll be no need to clock

I’ll have enough money to buy out blocks

Tell my brother, go to school in September

So he won’t mess up in summer school in the summer

Tell my cousin, Jerry, wear his condom

If you don’t wear condom, you’ll see a red lump

Woh oh oh oh, you sucker mc’s, you got no flow

I heard your style, you’re S O S O

Every time I make a run, girl, you turn around and cry

I ask myself why, oh why

See, you must understand, I can’t work a 9 to 5

So I’ll be gone till November

Said,"I’ll be gone till November, I’ll be gone till November

You tell my girl, yo, I’ll be gone till November

I’ll be gone till November, I’ll be gone till November

You tell my girl, yo, I’ll be gone till November"

January, February, March, April, May

I see you cryin’ but girl, I can’t stay

I’ll be gone till November, I’ll be gone till November

And give a kiss to my mother

I had to flip nuttin’ and turn it into somethin’

Hip-hop turns to the future rock when I smash a punk

Commit treason, then I’ll have a reason to hunt you down

It’s only right, it’s rappin’ season

Yeah, you with the loud voice, posin’ like you’re top choice

Your voice, I’ll make a hearse out of your rolls royce

Besides, I got my girl to remember

And I’ll commit it that I’ll be back in November

Every time I make a run, girl, you turn around and cry

I ask myself why, oh why

See, you must understand, I can’t work a 9 to 5

So I’ll be gone till November

Said,"I’ll be gone till November, I’ll be gone till November

You tell my girl, yo, I’ll be gone till November

I’ll be gone till November, I’ll be gone till November

You tell my girl, yo, I’ll be gone till November"

January, February, March, April, May

I see you cryin’ but girl, I can’t stay

I’ll be gone till November, I’ll be gone till November

And give a kiss to my mother

I know the hustle’s hard but we gotta enterprise

The Carnival
