Can't Have Both

(album: EROS - 2019)

Mama told me take things slow
I don't got nowhere to go
Father leaving message on the phone
Telling me to leave these drugs alone, say
Tell me where I gotta be
Head is hurting and I'm losing out on sleep, yeah
And they keep talking death upon my name
'Fore I go, I hope I make some change

You can't have it both ways
Yeah, you threw the love away
It's gon' hurt for me to leave
But it'll hurt for me to stay, so
You can't have it both ways
Yeah, you threw the love away
It's gon' hurt for me to leave
But it'll hurt for me to stay, so

This a message for my son
When it come to love, you been the only one
I think I'm through with the music, I think I'm done
And I truly hope you proud what I become
And if I ever gotta go away
I promise you, I wish that I could stay
The feds tryna build a case
But we gon' make this money either way

You can't have it both ways
Yeah, you threw the love away
It's gon' hurt for me to leave
But it'll hurt for me to stay, so
You can't have it both ways
Yeah, you threw the love away
It's gon' hurt for me to leave
But it'll hurt for me to stay, so
