I Can't Go On This Way

(album: The B. Coming - 2005)

[Beanie Sigel talking]
Honor (honor), trust (trust), respect (respect)
Devotion (devotion), friendship (friendship), loyalty
(loyalty), karma (karma), team (team), us (us), roc
(roc), silence (silence), the 'eagle, bang
I can't go on this way [sung overlapping last line]

[Beanie Sigel]
With no union, and no benefits no dental plans
I can't eat off no hundred grams
I got cavities that need filling
You can't feed a nigga peanut chews
Now put your 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 with
But then my mind drift, am I defeating the purpose?
Could you feel like shit when you miss yourself first? Shit
But who gonna pay the bills? Supply the mills? No surplus
My baby mama give me drama on the daily
Like she, making it barely and my kids is eating rarely
{I can't go on this way}
(I'm stressed out gonna 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'? There's a big difference
Do you catch the lines and the hooks or are you still fishin'?
There's a couple questions that I need to be answered
Like, is they backwoods and weed giving me cancer
{I can't do on this way}
(I'm stressed out gonna do what I can't do it)
My momma say I got a nerve stress
Got her waking up in cold sweats
I'm hard-headed and iron
What make it worse my little brother behind me
Blood pressure running like Harriet
She can't handle it
I got her screaming Lord Jesus like Mahalia
Son I'm telling your please don't let me bury your
{I can't go on this way}
(I'm stressed man, I'm goin through it)
I was taught trust in Allah but still tie up your camel
Use your tongue as your sword and your books as your ammo
But when them bullets start flying 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 with a finish and begin with a ending
{I can't go on this way}
(I'm stressed out, I can't take it no more)
I'm moving ass backwards with no forward progress
Feel asthmatic like kept mills keep jogging [heavy breathing]
Stagnant, running in place is tragic
My heart in the faith I don't practice
I still pray, Allah will forgive me for my actions
'cause I spit gangster think Muslim and act Kaffir
{I can't go on this way}
(I gotta still feel feed my youngness, so keep hugging)

[Freeway]
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 till 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}
[Young Chris:] (I feel you big homie, young gunner)

[Young Chris]
Straight from the ghetto to ghetto
I'm from the youngers be the ghettoist ones
Tryna make just as much as we could
Tryna make it but they gonna 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 nothing 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 nothing)
I ain't being distracted by nothing
Midget-size to Dikembe, I ain't back up from nothing
Ma I'm still stressing
It ain't the kid it's the bills stressing, 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, holds 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, running wit the hottest label in the label in the industry
The hottest label got a nigga 'lotta enemies
So now when I go in baseline
A nice-size ratchet to throw in waistline
I gotta make mine
My bills ain't getting paid in, kids ain't situated
(I can't go on this way)
(You all better make a decision before us)
(B. Sig) Cause the way that we living ain't all good
Ran away wit them hating ass niggas don't like us
Despite them, we gonna do it regardless
But all dis commotion they causing I ain't it wit
(We ain't wit it)
They 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)
