Beanie Sigel - I Can't Go on This Way

Lyrics

Honor (honor), Trust (trust), Respect (respect)

Devotion (devotion), Friendship (friendship), Loyalty

(loyalty), Karma (karma), Team (team), Us (us), ROC

(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)
