OnlyForJoy - No More (feat. Dajon, Starnel, Asha Parris & Mayen)

I’m out here in the streets
Running from cops, pain, struggles
So much barely on my feet
I been out here on my own
They killed my bro
Mama stay on work
And my daddy was gone
I done damn near lost my soul
Raising hell
Loyal to the gang
Shorty blowing up my phone
But it’s time I be a man
Make a plan
Gotta feed my fam
Do the best that I can
Ya’ll ain’t gon’ hold me back
Say ya’ll ain’t gon’ hold me back
No more
One night mama had a vision
Of me up in the prison
That’s when I started stressing
Start counting all my blessings
Cause living in them trenches
You had to put in work
Or they come teach you a lesson
And no matter how hard we tried
To get by
Bullets end up flying til’
One of us died
We seen more blood and slaughter
Than love and holy water
Than fathers teaching daughters
Than black men being honored
How the hell
Am I suppose to pray and feel inspired
When the hope that we been given
Are nothing but lies
And the food that we been eating
Were just multiplied
Feel the only pure thing
Is the tears that we cry
So I’m
I’m out here in the streets
Running from cops, pain, struggles
So much barely on my feet
I been out here on my own
They killed my bro
Mama stay on work
And my daddy was gone
I done damn near lost my soul
Raising hell
Loyal to the gang
Shorty blowing up my phone
But it’s time I be a man
Make a plan
Gotta feed my fam
Do the best that I can
Ya’ll ain’t gon’ hold me back
Say ya’ll ain’t gon’ hold me back
No more
Looking for the old me
Yeah that’s out the door
Looking for them shackles
Well that’s on the floor
Made a choice to be free
And that’s on my own
I ain’t waiting for nobody
To dictate my world
Hate my color all you want
Just know I’m on go
I’mma stand right here
On all of my toes
I ain’t wasting no more time
On all of my foes
Misery loves company
We know how it goes
They love it when we riot
Don’t see the real fire
The people we inspire
We take each other higher
To get what we desire
Like Kanye through wire
Let’s sing it like a choir
I’m out here in the streets
Running from cops, pain, struggles
So much barely on my feet
I been out here on my own
They killed my bro
Mama stay on work
And my daddy was gone
I done damn near lost my soul
Raising hell
Loyal to the gang
Shorty blowing up my phone
But it’s time I be a man
Make a plan
Gotta feed my fam
Do the best that I can
Ya’ll ain’t gon’ hold me back
Say ya’ll ain’t gon’ hold me back
No more
I made a pledge to myself
I won’t let no one else control my life
Or hold me back no more
No one else will ever
I won’t do it to myself
No never
Won’t hold me back no more
If there’s a problem
Then there’s the door
No more
No more
Ain’t no more hurt
Ain’t no more pain
Let it wash away
With the rain
With the rain
