Lyrics I Can't Go On This Way - Beanie Sigel , Freeway , Young Chris

Honor, trust, respect
Devotion, friendship, loyalty
Karma, team, us, Roc solid (I can't go on this way)
D'evils, damn

Wit' no union, and no benefits, no dental plans
I can't eat off no hundred grand
I got cavities that need fillin'
You can't feed a nigga Peanut Chews
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 rude
Make a drunk person sing a 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 wit'
But then my mind drift, am I defeatin' 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 baby 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 or you listening? There's a big difference
Do you catch the lines and the hooks, or are you still fishin'?
These a couple questions that I need to be answered
Like is these Backwoods and weed givin' me cancer (I can't go on this way), shit
I'm stressed out, going through it, I can't do it

My momma say I got her nerves stressed
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 Harriet, she can't handle it
I got her screaming Lord Jesus like Mahalia
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 Lord but still tie up your camel
Use your tongue as your sword and your books as your ammo
But when them bullets start flying, and you got pussies around you
And who you rely on, let them niggas surround you? Shit
And make me feel like young Tinner, from the start I was finished
How a nigga 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 moving ass backwards with no forward progress
Feel asthmatic like treadmill FIFA 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 gangsta, think Muslim, and act Kaffir (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 patrol the block
Get avoided by the government, avoid the spot
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, Freeway)
Yeah, Young Gona, check it, uh

Straight from the ghetto, the ghetto
I'm from the youngest, be the ghettoist ones (uh, yeah)
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 and uh (I can't go on this way)
Came too far, and I ain't going backwoods for nothing

I ain't being distracted by nothing
Midget-size to Dikembe, I ain't backed up from nothing
Ma, I'm still stressing, it ain't the kid it's the bills stressing
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, hold me down while I'm grown
And uh (I can't go on this way)
I choose not, refuse not, down on my own

Now off the streets, runnin' wit' the hottest label in the industry
The hottest label got a nigga lot of enemies
So now when I go in baseline, a nice-size ratchet to throw in wasteline
I gotta make mine
My bills ain't getting paid in, 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 wit' them hating ass niggas 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 take is a column
My dogs'll be down if the rounds gotta unlit it though (I can't go on this way)
Someday got to forget it though
Consequences for my sentence, got to forgive us though

(I can't go on this way)
