[Akon:]I used to tell my homieSlow down time after timeBut he never would listenUntil he got some timeThe life that he was livingI knew it wasn't rightThe judge gave him that sentenceAnd put him up for lifeYou don't miss the waterTil the well runs dryDon't miss the living til they dieDon't know the reasonDon't know whyWe just let life pass us by[Chorus:]Cause you never know (never know)What you got (what you got)Until it's gone (gone away)Away away away awayLong long goneCause you never know (never know)What you got (what you got)Until it's gone awayAway away away awayLong long gone[Rock City:]See my best friend used to stay with meEach and every day he'd chill with meAlways told me to pray for meBut I always thought that he'll be fineNow I got to watch his mother cryCos she loved him childDon't miss the waterTil the well runs dryDon't miss the living til they dieDon't know the reasonDon't know whyWe just let life pass us by.[Chorus:]Cause you never know (never know)What you got (what you got)Until it's gone awayAway away away awayLong long goneCause you never know (never know)What you got (what you got)Until it's gone awayAway away away awayLong long goneSo don't you take for grantedThe life you've been handedBe thankful and gratefulCause life goes onWith or without youPlus there's so many people worse off than youWith no chance of changingIt's truly up to you[Chorus:]Cause you never know (never know)What you got (what you got)Until it's gone awayAway away away awayLong long goneCause you never know (never know)What you got (what you got)Until it's gone awayAway away away awayLong long gone
