Curtis Mayfield - Here But I'm Gone (Part II) Lyrics
How did I get so far goneWhere do I belongAnd where in the world did I ever go wrongIf I took the time to replaceWhat my mind erasedI still feel as if I'm here but I'm gonePorched up in a rocking-chairWith my feet all bareRolling my blunt in a cigar wrapLive an adolescent mindnever do take the timeWaiting for my high, quiet as it's keptHow did I get so far goneWhere do I belongAnd where in the world did I ever go wrongIf I took the time to replaceWhat my mind erasedI still feel as if I'm here but I'm goneMama told me I was bestArgue and punch in my chestSon now be strong, let me take you homeI'd see in her eyes so sincereScreaming,what got me hereStanding in the world and with my mind all blownHow did I get so far goneWhere do I belongAnd where in the world did I ever go wrongIf I took the time to replaceWhat my mind erasedI still feel as if I'm here but I'm goneHow did I get so far goneWhere do I belongAnd where in the world did I ever go wrongIf I took the time to replaceWhat my mind erasedI still feel as if I'm here but I'm goneI do nothing but waste all my timeLeaving the world behindSmoking my crack just to keep me highAround the boys I play my part roughKeep myself tough enoughNever to cryDon't really want to dieHow did I get so far goneWhere do I belongAnd where in the world did I ever go wrongIf I took the time to replaceWhat my mind erasedI still feel as if I'm here but I'm goneHow did I get so far goneWhere do I belongAnd where in the world did I ever go wrongIf I took the time to replaceWhat my mind erasedI still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone
