I Can't Go On This Way (feat. Freeway & Young Chris)

Honor, trust, respect

Devotion, friendship, loyalty

Karma, team, us, rock

Solid, the evils, damn

(I can't go on this way)

With no union and no benefits, no dental plans

I can't eat off no hundred grand

I got cavities that need filling

You can't feed a **** peanut chews

Now put your feet up in a ****'s shoes

A lack of green will give a **** blues

A sip of purple make a **** rue

Make a drunk person speak of sober tune

(I can't go on this way)

Fuck that, I can't do it, man

We make these tips off this gift that we cursed with

But then my mind drift, am I defeating the purpose?

'Cause you feel like shit when you miss your son's first shit

But who gon' pay the bills?

Supply the meals, no surplus

My baba mama give me drama on the daily

Like she making it barely and my kids is eating rarely

(I can't go on this way)

Shit, I'm stressed out going through it, I can't do it

If you put puppies in the oven, do that make 'em biscuits?

Put hungry dogs in the kitchen, will they eat the kittens?

Do you hear me, are you listening?

It's a big difference

Do you catch the lines or the hooks?

Or is you still fishing?

These a couple questions that I need to be answered

Like is these Backwoods and weed giving me cancer?

(I can't go on this way)

Shit, I'm stressed out going through it, I can't do it

My mama say I got a nerve stress

Got her waking up in cold sweats

I'm hard headed and iron

What make it worse, my little brother behind me

Blood pressure running like Harriett, she can't handle it

I got her screaming Lord Jesus like Mahalia

Son, I'm telling you, please don't let me bury you

(I can't go on this way)

I'm stressed, man, I'm going through it

I was taught trust in the Lord but still tie up your camel

Use your tongue as your sword and your books as your ammo

But when the bullets start flying and you got pussies around you

And who you rely on, got them **** surround you

Shit, it make me feel like Tinner, from the start I was finished

How a **** start with the finish and begin with the ending?

(I can't go on this way)

I'm stressed out, I can't take it no more, man

I'm moving ass backwards with no forward progress

Feel asthmatic like a treadmill, keep jogging

Stagnant, running in place is tragic

My heart in the faith, I don't practice

I still pray Allah, forgive me for my actions

'Cause I spit gangster, think Muslim and act Kaffir

(I can't go on this way)

Shit, I gotta still feed my youngins, so keep hugging

I can't wait until the rain turn to sunshine

'Cause I hate to spend my life, my life, my life, my life

Stuck in one time, free patrol the block

Get avoided by the government, avoid the spot

Can't wait till rain turn to sunshine

'Cause I hate to spend my life, my life, my life, my life

Stuck in the box

(I can't go on this way)

Straight from the ghetto

The ghetto I'm from, the youngest be the ghettoest ones

Tryna make just as much as we could

Tryna make it but they gon' make it hard as much as they could

That's why, that's why, that's why I hate 'em, man

Them crackers ain't nothing without paper

They look at us, it's nothing at all

(I can't go on this way)

Came too far and I ain't going back backwards for nothing

I ain't being distracted by nothing

Midget sized to Dikembe, I ain't backed up from nothing

Ma, I'm still stressing, it ain't the kids, it's the bills stressing

She hold it down on her own

She hold me down at the crib, hold me down when I'm gone

She held me down as a kid, hold me down while I'm grown

(I can't go on this way)

I choose not, refuse not, down on my own

Now off the streets, running with the hottest label in the industry

The hottest label got a **** lot of enemies

So now when I go in baseline

A nice-sized ratchet to throw in waistline

I gotta make mine

My bills ain't getting paid and kids ain't situated

(I can't go on this way)

Y'all better make a decision before us

'Cause the way that we living ain't all good

Ran away with them hating ass ****, don't like us

Despite them, we gon' do it regardless

But all this commotion they causing, I ain't with it

We ain't with it

They can get it, all it takes is to call 'em

My dogs will down at the rounds, gotta admit it though

(I can't go on this way)

Someday gotta forget it though

Consequences for my sentence

God will forgive us though

(I can't go on this way)
