Life Goes On

(Hook)

This walk had me looking back

Praying I could change where I came from

Avondale came from the slums

With my day ones

So many friends lost in this war

But I gained some

Rather we live or die

Life goes on

They come and go

Go and come — that's the outcome

Friendships dry and fade away

I done lost some

Through the pain (yeah), hurt, and shame

I done felt some

But either way it go

Life goes on

(Shadayawar Verse)

I changed my life... found Christ

Ain't nothing better than

I thought they would be happy

But my presence killed their element

I stopped smoking

Then they stopped they calling

And we stopped talking

Not by choice

But they made a bridge

It was hard crossing over

When I was around

I couldn't be sober

Got caught up

Falling back to the world

Searching for closure

It seemed like when I got closer to Christ

They got offended

But He called me to this mission

Now my body locked in prison

I ain't look down on my family and friends

'Cause they was sinning

They seemed to feel convicted around me

And kept they distance

When my momma passed away

I was praying that they repented

So we could keep on building

Our bond

But they ain't listen — had me

(Hook)

This walk had me looking back

Praying I could change where I came from

Avondale came from the slums

With my day ones

So many friends lost in this war

But I gained some

Rather we live or die

Life goes on

They come and go

Go and come — that's the outcome

Friendships dry and fade away

I done lost some

Through the pain (yeah), hurt, and shame

I done felt some

But either way it go

Life goes on

(Malakyaahla Verse)

Life goes on, we stuck under the ozone

Down here you live or die — don't live a lie

Go hard or go home, no oxycodone

Endure pain, had to move on

From people who do me wrong

Tryna see what they can leech on

Listen

Had to change my route and switch my plays

So I can complete my mission

Ain't going back over my shoulder

Searchin' and findin' to see who went missin'

Gotta job to do, seeking the kingdom

Moving around, gotta punch my ticket

Won't listen to nobody tryna reroute

I can hear the snakes hissin'

MmmmmmMmmmmmm

If you vain in my life — don't want no attachments

Depart from me

MmmmmmMmmmmmm

Don't let the love you got for them make it hard to see

(Hook)

This walk had me looking back

Life goes on

Go and come — that's the outcome

Friendships dry and fade away

I done lost some

Through the pain (yeah), hurt, and shame

I done felt some

But either way it go

Life goes on
