Lyrics Why Go - Empire Cast

It's a cold world, put that on ice
The devil like to come out and play at night
I try live my life, right do that twice
But when it all went wrong, I knew you weren't right
Streets labeled you a cold killer, had you caged up with 'em gorillas
Blood money from a dope dealer
Tell me how the hell 'post to deal withcha?
(Pre-Hook)
God bless your soul cause you're gone now
All this forgiven cause I'm grown now
Gotta make it out here, on my own now
I put the pin up, you put the gun down
Every word spoken never went in vain
Speakin' to the world that take away my pain
They say you live once, when you go it's a shame
I guess that I'm stayin' insane
(Hook)
Should've never left, oh why?
Tell me why you had to leave me, oh why?
I had to go, I had to go
Should've never left, oh why?
Tell me why you had to leave me, oh why?
I had to go, I had to go
(2)
Tryin' to keep the grip on my sanity, right?
They don't really know the cost for this life
The hurt, the hunger, the time neva right
Thots are killin' everythin' in plain sight
Your word is your bond, if I can say word to my mom
You know what I'm on
You was my world, never did wrong in my eyes
Forever your girl, crazy what you made me
And indirectly, you saved me
From a lil girl to a lady
Still a hustler like you raised me
(Pre-Hook)
God bless your soul cause you're gone now
All this forgiven cause I'm grown now
Gotta make it out here, on my own now
I put the pin up, you put the gun down
Every word spoken never went in vain
Speakin' to the world that take away my pain
They say you live once, when you go it's a shame
I guess that I'm stayin' insane
(Hook)
Should've never left, oh why?
Tell me why you had to leave me, oh why?
I had to go, I had to go
Should've never left, oh why?
Tell me why you had to leave me, oh why?
I had to go, I had to go
