(roc), Silence (silence), tha 'eagle, bang
I can't go on this way (sung overlapping last line)

Wit no union, and no benefits no dental plans
I can't eat off no hundred grams
I got cavities that need fillin'
You can't feed a nigga peanut juice
Now put ya feet up in a nigga' shoes
A lack of green'll give a nigga blues
A sip of purple make a nigga rue
Nigga drunk person speak a sober tune
I can't do on this way (sung overlapping last line)
(Fuck that, I can't do it man)
We make these tips off dis gift that we cursed wit
But den my mind drift, am I defeatin' the purpose?
Could you feel like shit when you miss yourself 1st? shit
But who gon pay the bills? supply the mills? no surplus
My baby mama give me drama on the daily
Like she, makin' it barely and my kids is eatin' rarely
I can't go on this way
(I'm stressed out gon' the what 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 or you listenin'? Ders a big difference
Do you catch the lines and the hooks or are you still fishin'?
Des a couple questions that I, need to be answered
Like, is they backwoods and weed givin' me cancer
I can't do on this way
(I'm stressed out goin' do what I can't do it)
My momma say I got a nerve stress
Got her wakin' up in cold sweats
I'm hard-headed and iron
What make it worse my lil' brother behind me
Blood pressure runnin' like Harriet
She can't handle it
I got her screaming Lord Jesus like Nahalia
Son I'm tellin' ya please don't let me bury ya
I can't go on this way
(I'm stressed man, I'm goin through it)
I was taught trust in the law but still tie up your camel
Use your tongue as your sword and your books as your ammo
But when them bullets start flyin' and you got pussies around you
And who you rely on, got them niggas surround you? shit
And make me feel like young Tinner, from the start I was finished
How niggas start wit a finish and begin wit a endin'
I can't go on this way
(I'm stressed out, I can't take it no more)
I'm movin' ass backwards wit no forward progress
Feel asthmatic like kept mills keep joggin' Heavy breathin'
Stagnant, runnin' in place is tragic
My heart in the faith I don't practice
I still pray along, forgive me for my actions
'cause I still spit gangsta think Muslim and act Catholic
I can't go on this way
(I gotta still feel feed my young'n's, so keep huggin')

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 pat-rol the block
Get avoided by the government avoid the spent
Can't wait til 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
(I feel you big homie, Young gunner)

Straight from the ghetto to ghetto
I'm from the youngaz be the ghettoist 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 they crackers ain't nothin' without paper
they look at us it's nothing
I can't go on this way
(Came too far and I ain't goin' backwoods for nothin')
I ain't bein' distracted by nothin'
Midget-size to Dikembe, I ain't back up from nothin'
Ma I'm still stressin'
It ain't the kid it's the bills stressin', she hold it down on her own
She hold me down at the crib, hold me down while I'm gone
She hold me down as a kid, hols me down while I'm grown
I can't do on this way
(I choose not, refuse not, down on my own)
Now off the streets, runnin' wit the hottest label in the label in the industry
Da hottest label got a nigga 'lotta enemies
So now when I go in baseline
A nice-size ratchet to throw in waste line
I gotta make mine
My bills ain't gettin' paid in, kids ain't situated
I can't go on this way
(Y'all better make a decision before us)
(B. Sig) 'cause the way that we livin' ain't all good
Ran away wit them hatin' ass niggas don't like us
Despite them, we goin' do it regardless
But all dis commotioni they causin' I ain't it wit
(We ain't wit it)
Dey can get it all it take is a column
My dogs'll be down if the rounds gotta unlit tho
I can't go on this way
(Someday gotta forget it tho
Consequences for my sentence gotta forgive us tho)
