Lyrics

The Beginning

[Intro] 3, 4 [Verse 1] I ain't wastin' no time 'Cause God got no time to waste Is this the rest of my life? Well, you could look up the gate [Chorus] 'Cause it's all gone (yeah, ooh, gone) (I'm livin') That it's all gone (I'm livin') Oh [Verse 2] I'm gon' give you a test Someday you'll be the queen And you think it's for the best Because it's all that you've seen [Chorus - Variation] Humble me (I'm livin') It's all gone (I'm livin') [Chorus] And it's all gone (I'm on it) It's all gone (I'm livin')
