[Chorus]

If I go on my way without you

Woah, where would I go?

If I go on my way without you

Woah, where would I go?


[Verse 1]

I'm havin' flashbacks, let me relax my dome

My whole joint's blown, another soldier won't be comin' home (Dang)

Parkside is gonna miss you, black, forever

Ties will never sever, you died tryna live better

Did what you had to do and now you deceased

I hope you restin' in peace, don't even stress that beef (Nah)

Go 'head and sleep, count your blessings, return to the essence

Every time I see your fam', word is bond, I feel your presence

It's all over, bearin' witness like Jehovah (Uh-huh)

Ain't nothin' strange unless you watch your range like a Rover

Follow me, son, what's done is done, forgot it

God bless his soul while his body's underground rottin'

We won't forget you, let a brother try to diss you

I swear to God, he better have a blade and plus a pistol

Forever miss you, got babies that wanna kiss you

Shinin' like crystal, and at your wake, I pass your ma the tissue


[Chorus]

If I go on my way without you

Woah, where would I go? (Oh-oh-oh-oh no)

If I go on my way without you

Woah, where would I go? (Oh-oh-oh-oh no)


[Verse 2]

He was only thirteen when he burst his spleen, the shot was fatal

He died right there upon the kitchen table

Blaow! It happened all alone in his house (Yeah)

Not a creature was starin', not a roach or a mouse

And I was just with him (Yeah), playin' Sega

And buggin' on the horn with some honeys like a couple of playas

And now he's gone, I'm speakin' on my man, K-Shawn

Forever on my mind mentally as I kick my song

He used to talk about the box in the closet

Where his pops kept a Glock and all the safety deposits

Now he stressed, fiendin' just to hold some heat

I guess it came from all the stories that he heard in the street

I can't explain it (Nah), it's ill how he used to feel

I used to tell him, "Stop playin' with that chrome piece steel"

He never listened, and now my man is missin' in action (Uh-huh)

I blame it on them fools in the streets that's always blastin'


[Chorus]

If I go on my way without you

Woah, where would I go? (Oh-oh-oh-oh no)

If I go on my way without you

Woah, where would I go? (Oh-oh-oh-oh no)


[Verse 3]

Ayo, my dreams are filled with terror, shots gettin' nearer

Paralyzed, then right in front of my eyes, it's gettin' clearer

A tragedy resulted from a brother's bad strategy (Uh-huh)

Tried to rob a deli but the gat he had was raggedy

Bullets sprayed, ricocheted and automatically (Yeah)

Hit a bystander, young girl named Amanda

Feel slugs in her back by this cat buggin' on crack

Another rugrat, somebody tell me where the love's at?

Was only seven, already on her way to Heaven (Yeah)

She reached her dead end and now she won't see her weddin'

Some might say that this was destined or somethin'

But her parents only had one child and now they left with nothin'

Book all that flix 'til when they daughter was six

Before they moved from the bricks and got caught up in the mix

They thought things would get better, now they stressed forever

They last vision was the image of a blood-soaked sweater, without


[Chorus]

If I go on my way without you

Woah, where would I go? (Oh-oh-oh-oh no)

If I go on my way without you

Woah, where would I go? (Oh-oh-oh-oh no)

If I go on my way without you

Woah, where would I go? (Oh-oh-oh-oh no)

If I go on my way without you

Woah, where would I go? (Oh-oh-oh-oh no)
