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 the room the lights are 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 ’til november
said i’ll be gone ’til november i’ll be gone ’til november
yo tell my girl yo i’ll be gone ’til november
i’ll be gone ’til november i’ll be gone ’til november
yo tell my girl yo i’ll be gone ’til november
january february march april may
i see you cryin’ but girl i can’t stay
i’ll be gone ’til november i’ll be gone ’til 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 so so
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 ’til november
said i’ll be gone ’til november i’ll be gone ’til november
yo tell my girl yo i’ll be gone ’til november

i’ll be gone ’til november i’ll be gone ’til november
and give a kiss to my mother
i had to flip nuttin’ and turn it into somethin’
hiphop turns to the future rock when i smash a pumpkin
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 ’til november
said i’ll be gone ’til november i’ll be gone ’til november
yo tell my girl yo i’ll be gone ’til november

and give a kiss to my mother
i know the hustle’s hard but we gotta enterprise the carnival
