Go On Without Me Lyrics - Popular Culture - Xv

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 

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 

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 

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, 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 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 

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 

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 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 

You follow them, they don't follow you 

So what you do, you told me 

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 

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 said, go on without me 

I wish I could stay, hey 

I said go on without me 

Just go on without me 

I wish I could stay, hey
