Song Lyrics

[Intro: (spoken)]

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

[Chorus: (sung)]

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

[Verse 1: (sung)]

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

[Repeat chorus]

[Verse 2: (rap)]

I had to flip nuttin` and turn it into somethin`
Hip-hop turns to the future rock when I smash a punk (BING!)
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

[Repeat chorus]

I know the hustle`s hard, but we gotta enterprise, the carnival
