XV - Go On Without Me lyrics

[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 n***as 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 a** 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 n***as 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 f** your circle sh** is all I ever yell out That's what you do when you know your crew Is tough as boots they f** 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
