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 Stevie's classic 60's and 70's sound.
Stevie Wonder's (1974) "Please Don't Go" provided the landscape for DL to do his thing on this track entitled "Don't Go Away".

LYRICS
Chorus
[Stevie] Please don't go, no, no, no / if you go, I would be sad and blue / so I say / no, no, no / don't 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 ain't 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 life's cycle / I held back breath when Stevie sang it for Michael / I never dreamed that you'd leave in Summer...that's why at least every three months I'm calling my friends numbers / drink a toast to everyone I know that's 6 feet under and say rhyme over the vocal tones of Stevie Wonder / now I can't see over the wall but I'd rather miss a person in my life than never have em' at all / so I'm 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 don't go [no]
Chorus
[Stevie] Please don't go, no, no, no / if you go, I would be sad and blue (it's too much) / so I say / no, no, no / don't go away / [DL- ] don't 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 it's only me / so I best make do with the memories and some of them are so cool like Septembers breeze / but that just won't 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 there's so many people who can relate / but there's 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 I'm 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 don't go [no]
Chorus
[Stevie] Please don't go, no, no, no / if you go, I would be sad and blue (it's too much) / so I say / no, no, no / don't go away / [DL- ] don't go -- (repeats)
[Stevie] And I'll do anything you want me to / if you promise that you won't leave tonight / cos I'll break down and cry a river of tears, of just the thought of you not here in my life / so please don't go, no, no, no / you should go, I'd be sad and blue / so I say / no, no, no / don't go away
