Here but I'm Gone

Curtis Mayfield

How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone Perched up in a rocking-chair With my feet all bare Rolling my blunt in a cigar wrap Live an adolescent mind Never do take the time Waiting for my high, quiet as it's kept How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone Mama told me I was best Argue and punch in the chest Son, now be strong, let me take you home I'd see in her eyes so sincere Screaming, what got me here Standing in the world with my mind all blown How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone I do nothing but waste all my time Leaving the world behind Smoking my crack just to keep me high Around the boys I play my part rough Keep myself tough enough Never to cry, don't really wanna die How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone
