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...

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 till November

said I'll be gone till November, I'll be gone till November
yo, tell my girl that I'll be gone till November
I'll be gone till November, I'll be gone till November
yo, tell my girl that I'll be gone till November
January, February, March, April, May
I see you cryin', but girl I can't stay

I'll be gone till November, I'll be gone till November
and give a kiss to my mother

When I come back, there'll be no need to clock
I'll have enough money to buy out the 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 to wear his condom
if you don't wear condom, you'll see a red lump
woh oh oh oh
you sucker MCs, you got no flow
I heard your style, you're s-o s-o

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 till November

said I'll be gone till November, I'll be gone till November
yo, tell my girl that I'll be gone till November
I'll be gone till November, I'll be gone till November
yo, tell my girl that I'll be gone till November
January, February, March, April, May
I see you cryin', but girl I can't stay

I'll be gone till November, I'll be gone till November
and give a kiss to my mother

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, its 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

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 till November

said I'll be gone till November, I'll be gone till November
yo, tell my girl that I'll be gone till November
I'll be gone till November, I'll be gone till November
yo, tell my girl that I'll be gone till November
January, February, March, April, May
I see you cryin', but girl I can't stay

I'll be gone till November, I'll be gone till November
and give a kiss to my mother

I know the hustles hard, but we gotta enterprise,
the Carnival
