XV - Go On Without Me lyrics

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
Ain't 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

Go on without me, why you beg me to stay
Good luck with tomorrow
Because I'm leaving today
(I wish I could stay)
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
(I wish I could stay)
But, I wish I could stay, hey

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
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 wouldn’t ask
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

Go on without me, why you beg me to stay
Good luck with tomorrow
Because I'm leaving today
(I wish I could stay)
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
(I wish I could stay)
But, I wish I could stay, hey

Where was you when we were getting high
Riding on an L7 jet up in the sky
LA 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 and they fuck with you
You follow them, they don't follow you
So what you do, you told me

Go on without me, why you beg me to stay
Good luck with tomorrow
Because I'm leaving today
(I wish I could stay)
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
(I wish I could stay)
But, I wish I could stay, hey

So go on without me i said go on without me
So go on without me i wish I could stay, hey
But go on without me i said go on without me
So go on without me i wish I could stay, hey
But go on without me i said go on without me
Just go on without me
I wish I could stay, hey
