I dedicate this record the carnival
to all you brothers takin long trips
down south, virginia,balitmore all round the world
and your girl gets this message
that you aint commin' back,
she sittin back in her room, dalights is off,
shes cryin, and then my voice comes in (pow)
and this is what i tell 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 cant work a 9 to 5,
so ill be gone til november,
said ill be gone till november
ill be gone till november, you tell my girl yo
i be gone till november, ill be gone till november
ill be gone til november, you tell my girl yo
ill be gone till november,
january, february, march, april, may,
i see you cryin but girl i cant stay ill be gone till november,
ill be gone till november... and give a kiss to my motha..

when i come back there be no time to clock,
ill have enough money to buy out the glocks,
tell my brotha go to school in september
so he wont mess up in summer school in da summer,
tell my cousin jerry wear his condom
if you dont wear condom you see a red line oh oo oo
you sucka M.C.s you got no flow i heard ya style you so so

I had to flick nothin and turn it in to somethin,
hip hop turns to the future of rock
when i smash a pumpkin (bing) committ treason now
i have a reason to hunt you down its only right its rappers season,yea
you with the loud voice posin like your top choice,
i make a hertz out of ya rolls royce,
besides i got my girl to remember and i committed
that ill be back in november.
