Can't Do That Anymore

(album: Minute To Midnight - 2021)

I can't dance no more tonight
Been traveling down this road on my own
It's like I'm standing for a crime
Just to taste another life I don't know
Walk up to the judge and I don't know what to say
Everything I did before has led me to today
So you can tear me down and just take it all away
'Cause I know, I know, no, no, no

I can't do that anymore, no
Can't do that anymore
Can't do that anymore, no
Can't do that anymore
No, no, no

You ain't gon' catch me around, I'm done for now, I'm out
Live with rumors 'bout my whereabouts
I'll be diving in and out your mind
When you thinking 'bout the songs I wrote tonight
I'ma let it all slide off my back
Get back better things that don't detach
I'm on a mission and I'm inching for more success
Fuck a low tide, I'm a moon that's 'bout to set
Let 'em all know, let 'em all watch the door
'Cause they 'bout to all watch a quick magic show
I be over here looking like a ghost
Just hoping for a close encounter with an antidote
And 'boutta crash the boat and see who survives
Fuck a life vest, both my feet' tied
I used to wonder when it all would fall in line
But now I just keep it going 'cause I've decided

I can't do that anymore, no
Can't do that anymore
Can't do that anymore, no
Can't do that anymore
No, no, no

I've been walking down a windy road to find your soul, I'm out
Try'na grind and grow my highest of lows don't count
I've been writing prose to feed a demon in a basement
Everything around in this town's outdated
Bounce I'm out, shaken try'na count placements
With this now faded, crown I found baking
Is anybody going on? I put seeds in my dreams I can see that they growing fond
Like there's no tomorrow, or there is but it just comes slow and hollow
I'm not trying to be negative, but as the record spins, I can't tell if it's the end or the genesis
So I draw that line in the sand, try'na figure out the raw back nine
I gotta minute more to get it, then it's all rap dimes
Stepping up to be on that prime

I can't do that anymore, no
Can't do that anymore
Can't do that anymore, no
Can't do that anymore
No, no, no
