I Can't Go
We all have something that makes up want to give up
Looking back on your past
You feeling like you ain't live up
To your dreams
It seems
Things don't want to change
I'm searching for change
Breaking the bank for change
Dang
Danger produces anger
Now the body tense
The mind stressed
Times get intense
You end up doing less
I guess being depressed is a drug that we love
Cause we quick to run back to it
I'm back at it
Spit poems
Inspire cats want to rap to it
Every word I spell is a reminder that I don't lack magic
Go-Go Gadget
I'm addicted to the lit
Another black addict
Taking my hits
Like an asthmatic's inhaler
Refuse to go a failure
What stones will they throw at you
When they nail you to the cross?
I'm at the crossroads with other lost souls
I lost pieces to the fire
Devilish desires
Regrets that un-inspire
Taking account of the weight my stock holds
I hold secrets that the clock told in confidence
I'm confident
I use common sense to rotate from continent to continent
I've been moving and shaking
Heart slowly breaking
Body is aching
Money's being taken
But I can't go
I can't go
I've been moving and shaking
Heart slowly breaking
Body is aching
Money's being taken
But I can't go
I can't go
No
I ain't been common sense
My spirit bent
Went in for the culture
Turned words into sculptures
Tattoos
I've been tatted
Branded with hope
Engaged
Dreams and reality elope
Float on a higher plane
And the choir sang
They got me walking the plank
Want to feed me to the sharks
Foot soldiers holding pistols point blank
Scared
But they playing they part
No room for weakness or imbalance
Fighting the wind is my challenge
Onlookers hanging out their cabins
Laughing at my fate
I wake
Waging war on this ark
This ship
Man overboard
Can't swim with your hands tied
Shit
What would my Grandma say, if I ain't fight?
What my Daddy die for, if I ain't go do it right
I can feel their spirits walking with me day and night
I build with my A-Alikes
Likeminded
We find it necessary to trust your life with your light
Follow your signs and flow
Synchronize
Let your past go and grow
Emphasize your power when you step on the floor
But when you do
Will you score?
Fasho
I've been moving and shaking
Heart slowly breaking
Body is aching
Money's being taken
But I can't go
I can't go
I've been moving and shaking
Heart slowly breaking
Body is aching
Money's being taken
But I can't go
I can't go
No
Ooo ooo ooo ooo oh
But I can't go
I can't go
I can't go
I can't go
Ooo ooo ooo ooo oh
But I can't go
I can't go
I can't go
I can't go
I can't go ooo ooo ooo no
I can't go ooo ooo ooo no
