![Dont Go Away / Funky DL - [Funky DL samples Stevie Wonder EP]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Knba978QeRg/mqdefault.jpg "Dont Go Away / Funky DL - [Funky DL samples Stevie Wonder EP]
Following the success of both Back To Frank and Back To Rap, where he took on the giant audio of original Amy Winehouse joints, Funky DL brings it back with the follow up in his Funky DL Samples series... with his FREE downloadable Sometimes I Have To Wonder EP.
This time, DL takes on the music from the legendary Motown musician Stevie Wonder and gets busy in the studio meshing his production skills and rhymes with Stevies classic 60s and 70s sound.
Stevie Wonders (1974) Please Dont Go provided the landscape for DL to do his thing on this track entitled Dont Go Away.

LYRICS
Chorus
[Stevie] Please dont go, no, no, no / if you go, I would be sad and blue / so I say / no, no, no / dont go away
Verse One
This goes out to all those who lost somebody / wishing to turn the clock back and force somebody to still be here / if we could, of course we hardly would ever choose to know the pain having to mourn somebody / lost my Friend, my Uncle, my Gran, my Father / thought it was hard at first but it hit me harder much later / I never could prepare for the void / I felt very frustrated and extremely annoyed / but God is great and helped with load on my plate / even when I aint been praising him like T.D. Jakes / I want to know why is the most inevitable thing in the world so painful on every level? Birth and death, they say that its lifes cycle / I held back breath when Stevie sang it for Michael / I never dreamed that youd leave in Summer...thats why at least every three months Im calling my friends numbers / drink a toast to everyone I know thats 6 feet under and say rhyme over the vocal tones of Stevie Wonder / now I cant see over the wall but Id rather miss a person in my life than never have em at all / so Im so grateful for the time shared / if I knew you my whole life or 5 years / but if I had my own way, / if asking you to stay kept you here I would have said... please dont go [no]
Chorus
[Stevie] Please dont go, no, no, no / if you go, I would be sad and blue (its too much) / so I say / no, no, no / dont go away / [DL- ] dont go (repeats)
Verse Two
This Goes out to strangers and fans of mine / I so wish I could turn back the hands of time / bring my people my back and we reunite / sip a smooth cognac and we bleach the night / laugh and joke and speak on our history / but in this room as I write its only me / so I best make do with the memories and some of them are so cool like Septembers breeze / but that just wont mend my broken heart / so attached in my mind so I hold the thought / and I think sometimes is it just a dream? / Will I wake up soon? Will the slate be clean? / And theres so many people who can relate / but theres not just one who can compensate / but you still with me every day of my life / so I guess that the spiritual will have to suffice / and I know one day I will see your face but I had to put your picture up just in case / if I had one wish I would bring you back / then perhaps I could scrap and delete this track / but Im so grateful for the time shared, and I thank you so much for your kind years / but if I had my own way, if asking you to stay kept you here I would have said... please dont go [no]
Chorus
[Stevie] Please dont go, no, no, no / if you go, I would be sad and blue (its too much) / so I say / no, no, no / dont go away / [DL- ] dont go (repeats)
[Stevie] And Ill do anything you want me to / if you promise that you wont leave tonight / cos Ill break down and cry a river of tears, of just the thought of you not here in my life / so please dont go, no, no, no / you should go, Id be sad and blue / so I say / no, no, no / dont go away")
