Can't Go On This Way

What they do is that they'll starve you
They, they won't feed you
And it's already hard in there because, if you get
The three trays that you get every day, you're still hungry 'cause I guess that's part of the punishment
So if they starve you one tray, that that that could really make an impact on you

Straight thugging
Striving and hustling
Fighting a war, dying for nothing
Many turned to drugs, poison they're puffing
All my homies gone
The cops came
Damn! My homies gone
Sometimes I feel I'm da chosen one
And if I die, hope that my name lives on 'cause

I can’t go on this way

Yea, it's Káy
Uh, yeah

Don't know how I feel y'all, can't explain it
Head full of evil thoughts, can't contain it
Killed or be killed, got a steel that'll leave niggas brainless
Observer of life, talk is cheap so I say less
Ask about Káy in da hood, they'd tell ya Káy is their favorite
Ten thousand for da watch so I can't save shit

I can’t go on this way

Damn, uh
Káy, uh

Hard to be focused, hard to recite these lines
Uninspired when I write these rhymes
Reminiscing bout my life, I cry sometimes
Roll a blunt, get high sometimes
Take it back to Da River, wit' da tool in my waist
Got beef wit da other side, caught me slipping
Ten tools in my face
Damn!

I can’t go on this way

Yeah
Just fucked up mane, Uh yeah

I'm bout to die mommy
You warned me bout this lifestyle, rolling wit' G's
Strapped up in army fatigues
Niggaz be pussies, ain't willing to squeeze
Káy stand alone when I walk these streets
Not a drug in this world can calm this beast
Cry Nation where my army be
Who da fuck got more heart than me
Huh

I can’t go on this way

Yea
Let's take 'em back
Káy, uh

Reminiscing bout my days as a youth
Me and my dawgs in da streets every day running loose
Skipped school to make records and you know we ain't playing in da booth
Now things ain't da same
Some niggas have died, some niggas have changed
I ain't saying names
I just roll me a blunt, just to ease the pain

I can’t go on this way

Uh, yea
Harlem, Káy, Uh

I get love from dem Spanish, I fuck wit dem Haitians
Remember Káy told you, don't fuck wit Jamaicans
I ain't rich by twenty-six then it's time I'm wasting
Dem lyrics came fast but I rhyme wit patience
Harlem, New York is my location
If the cops knock at my door, it's time I'm facing

I can’t go on this way

Fucked up man
Yea, uh

Move one brick, two brick, three brick, four
A straight G till da feds come knocking at my door
Ten hoozie on da table, ten clips on da floor
Ready for y'all, ready for war
Life
So bitter
Women
Gold diggers
Niggas
Wanna kill us
Killas
They roll with us
Weed
They blow wit us
All for da dough nigga

I can’t go on this way

Uh
Yea, uh

Came through da church, prayed for hours
In this game we play, ain't no place for cowards
Never bite if da grape is sour
Transaction always takes an hour
Aftermath is da money, hate and power
Every man for himself, yo Nicko we're taking ours
Playing for keeps, evade da streets where da snakes devour
Cause

I can’t go on this way

Uh
Let me talk to em, uh

I got weed for da stress, Macks for da drama
I'll trade you four ho's for your baby mama
You can find me on da road fucking ho's for da honor
I got a lot of foes so I roll wit da hammer
I'm a true emcee, I flow when I wanna
I ride wit no petrol
Diamonds let my neck glow
Even when I fucked up, you never let go

I can’t go on this way

Let me tell you where I'm from, uh

Board houses, zinc fences
Guns go off, bodies found in trenches
Cops can't prevent this
Young killer so relentless
I got flow for sale, for da right price you can rent this
The world is my ghetto, every block's enormous
Kids stay strapped on corners
Ready to clap informers
Why?
'Cause they set da cops upon us

I can’t go on this way

Uh yea, it's Káy

I, I, I was starved a lot
I can't even, I can't even count
But the worst, the worst, the worst time
I was starved was when they starved me for four times in a row
They starved me breakfast, lunch, dinner and breakfast again
And finally, it took, it took
'Cause I was trying to tell the captains and their superiors
The rest of their superiors about wha what they was doing
But nobody wanted to listen to me, and nobody wanted to help me
It finally, I finally came across a captain that that heard me out, and, and fixed the problem
Make sure I was ate, I, I was fed
And even the showers, They would deny me of shower in there too
