Go On Without Me

[Verse 1:]

We was just friends that would always run wild

Astronaut dreamin' we could never come down

When one night stands lead to a young child

So if we cut 'em always use a hat like Kung Lao

Way before those square dudes came to run round

We was kings of the city, thought we would run towns

Became friends in days, but took years to build it

It's funny how in seconds that all could come down

And it hurts now

We learn how to spit game and get turned down

Hoes got turned out, homies got shermed out

Teachers told us "Quiet down"

We left to burn that loud

And right, I'm learning now

But that's life, it turned out, I was right

Y'all was only about dreamin' when it's convenient

When we got recognized more than the voice of Morgan Freeman

Couldn't force you to make this something you believe in

So I said peace, I'll be leaving screaming

[Hook:]

Go on without me, why you beg me to stay

Good luck with tomorrow, because I'm leaving today

But I wish I could stay

Hey, I'm screaming

Go on without me, why you beg me to stay

Good luck with tomorrow, because I'm leaving today

But I wish I could stay, hey

[Verse 2:]

The metal detectors detected him

While the school districts neglected him

Police Arrested him

Told him he's like the rest of 'em

So gang life accepted him

Real niggas respected him

Real life rejected him

Dreams, that's all that's left of him

They said he showed signs that I didn't take directions from

That was my dawg, damn, I should've protected him

What we said in that parking lot, I should've questioned him

Made sure that his head was right, before I left with him

But it was that day, when his pops went and asked

He would just whoop his ass

For not taking out the trash

I don't know the dialogue, I just heard he got mad

Closed the bathroom door, all they heard was a blast

I'm in the hallway crying

The counselor giving me guidance

Wishing I showed you this life before you went and decided

Could I rewind and find a way to make you stay

And prove, that wasn't the only way

I say

[Hook:]

Go on without me, why you beg me to stay

Good luck with tomorrow, because I'm leaving today

But I wish I could stay

Hey, I'm screaming

Go on without me, why you beg me to stay

Good luck with tomorrow, because I'm leaving today

But I wish I could stay, hey

[Verse 3:]

Where was you when we were getting high

Riding on an L7 jet up in the sky

L.A. for the day, Vegas for the night

Tell me how'd you miss out on all this living life

But I get it right

Everybody get a price and some people afford to pay

In the long run I hope you come up nothing short of great

I just think it's sorta fake and there's probably more to say

But I've been carrying all this weight

That I've been sore all day

And I don't got time to sit and jog around questions

About the niggas I mess with and just who I'm addressing

Cause there's still some confessions

That I got to mail out

That I got to tell bout

Yea, I brought the real out

See, I might showboat but I'll never sell out

So that fuck your circle shit is all I ever yell out

That's what you do when you know your crew

Is tough as boots they fuck with you

You follow them, they don't follow you

So what you do, you told me

[Hook:]

Go on without me, why I beg you to stay

Good luck with tomorrow, because I'm leaving today

But I wish I could stay

Hey, I'm screaming

Go on without me, why you beg me to stay

Good luck with tomorrow, because I'm leaving today

But I wish I could stay, hey

So go on without me

I said, go on without me

Go on without me

I wish I could stay, hey

Go on without me

I said go on without me

Just go on without me

I wish I could stay, hey
