Ashanti - Then Ya Gone Lyrics

Well.. Well well well well..hello baby
One day ya here and then ya gone..

[Chink rapping]

[Chorus]
One day ya here baby,
And then ya gone [4x]

See, everyday we complain about lil ups and downs
We needa be thanking the lord that we're still around
You'll never ever know when it is your time to go and
I know its hurtin so bad when we lose people that we love
Gotta use that example n try and straighten up
U gotta live everyday as if its ya last one
One minute ya here and the next day ya gone

[Chorus]

See lately I wake up in the morning
Wanting to cry, I bend my knees
And I raise my head up into the sky
Sometimes I just cant fight the
Feeling I have inside
See I always wished that you would
Be here right by my side
I'm glad I told you "I love you"
So much before you died
I knew you couldn't and wouldn't
Be here for very long
One minute ya here and the next day ya gone

[Chorus]

See, what I need
Is for ya'll to know
That living life
Can come and go
Ya gotta face reality
I want the world to sing wid me

Sometimes the world that we live in
Don't seem so fair or forgiven
See these streets are hard to survive in
Cuz all day you see people dying
I pray that one day we all see
That life aint promised to you
And life aint promised to me
Never forget this
And be clear, we don't know how long
We gon be here
