Life Goes On

Donell Jones

Damn, man
I had it all before I got up in here

Oh, oh…
Oh, oh, oh…oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh…
Oh, oh, oh…oh, oh, oh
Yeah

Girl, I know that you've been creepin'
Can't believe it, but I'm locked up in here
Don't get no letters or no money or no visits
It's like I don't exist
And if it wasn't for my daughters
Then I wouldn't have no reason to live
But I've come to realize that life goes on

Since the day that I got locked up
My life's been different, oh, yeah
Cause she was my soul, my heart, my love, my best friend
I can't understand why she won't accept my phone calls
Shoulda knew something was wrong
When mamma said, baby, it's time for you to move on
Now everything I had is lost and gone, yeah

Girl, I know that you've been creepin'
Can't believe it, but I'm locked up in here (um-huh)
Don't get no letters or no money or no visits
(Don't get no letters or no money or no visits, yeah)
It's like I don't exist
And if it wasn't for my daughters (mmm…mmm)
Then I wouldn't have no reason to live (ooh)
But I've come to realize that life goes on
(See, but I've come to realize that life goes on)

See, I never thought you would leave me
Trapped here all alone
Cause part of the reason I sit where I am
I was tryna provide a home, yeah
See, now I know I'm not gon' be there like I used to
But your promise to me was that you never would leave
And that remains to be seen
I guess everything I had is lost and gone, oh, yeah

Girl, I know that you've been creepin'
Can't believe it, but I'm locked up in here
Don't get no letters or no money or no visits
(Don't get no letters or no money)
It's like I don't exist (ooh)
(And if it wasn't for my daughters)
And if it wasn't for my daughters
Then I wouldn't (ooh, yeah) have no reason to live
(That I've come to realize that life goes on)
But I've come to realize that life goes on

See, I had it all when I was on the streets
I gave you everything, yeah
(Anything that you could want)
Now that I'm locked away with nowhere to turn
Now you wanna up and run
(How could you do me wrong)
All those precious times that we used to share
Been thrown away
(As far as I can see)
See, I gave my heart and soul
And now you turn away from me, ah…ooh…
(Anything belongs to me)

Girl, I know that you've been creepin'
Can't believe it, but I'm locked up in here
(Don't get no letters)
Don't get no letters or no money or no visits (yeah)
It's like I don't exist
(See, now that I'm down and out)
(You were the one to win, eh-eh, yeah, ooh)
And if it wasn't for my daughters
Then I wouldn't have no reason to live
But I've come to realize that life goes on
(But I've come to realize, I've come to realize, goes on, yeah, yeah)

Girl, I know that you've been creepin'
(I know that you've been creepin')
Can't believe it, but I'm locked up in here
(I know that you've been creepin' on me)
Don't get no letters or no money or no visits
(Don't get no letters or no money or no visits, ooh)
It's like I don't exist
And if it wasn't for my daughters
Then I wouldn't have no reason to live…
