Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(I can't stop now, we gon do it again)
I can't stop now, we gon, yeah!
(I can't stop now, we gon do it again)
Speak my mind, ease my pain
It got dry, I need rain
I need God, that's my bro
I got light, we gon grow
With this pen, hit these notes
Sing this song, I need warm
I was cold, drink this beer
Sip this Colt, smoke that weed
Pop this pill, you need perc
I was hurt, I was scarred
My legs tired, I need car
I need air, I can't breathe
Rest in peace, I can't die
On my knees, pray this prayer
Father please, rescue me
I did this, all my fault
I got caught, I need free
Who is this, that ain't me
I can't starve, we gon eat
'Til we can't, we gon feast
Say yo grace, I had faith
It got weak, that's okay
I need Earth, I been meek
I need church, they need me
I was blind, I can see
Found my way, let's get right
Peep my plight, far I climbed
More to go, almost fell
Vertigo, that hit hard
They in awe, so it goes
Love my bros, heaven knows
When the lights go down, my mind goes on
I can't keep holding on
Thoughts get dark and dreams get lost
I cant keep going through this alone
I’ve been waiting to be free from things I think and free from me
Finding ways to turn back time, reliving my dreams in my mind
I said all I ever wanted was a chance so I could shine
Me and Sha was valley walkin', I can't leave my bro behind
Spent some days in the asylum, damn I almost lost my mind
I can see my people hungry, food for thought don't cost a dime
And I know the mission, I'm not a slave
I took my pain and put that away
Save that for later, no not today
I told my chains that they gotta break
And they better listen, I am forgiven
No condemnation, ain't no mistakes
I got the vision, y'all better witness
Whole generation, they getting saved
Come to the water, drink 'til you can't
Bring all yo problems, wash them away
Sit by the fountain, bask in the glow
Move all yo mountains, they gotta go
I know it's hard but reap what you sow
I been at odds but I found a home
I am protected, I'm not alone
They can't affect me, I got shalom
I said all I ever wanted was a chance so I could shine (I'm on my way)
Me and Sha was valley walkin', I can't leave my bro behind (I'm on my way)
Spent some days in the asylum, damn I almost lost my mind (I'm on my way)
I can see my people hungry, food for thought don't cost a dime (I'm on my way, I'm on my way)
When the lights go down, my mind goes on (My mind)
I can't keep holding on (On)
Thoughts get dark and dreams get lost (Get lost)
I cant keep going through this alone (This alone)
I’ve been waiting to be free from things I think and free from me (From me)
Finding ways to turn back time, reliving my dreams in my mind (In my mind)
Reach for it
(I can't stop now, we gon do it again)
Been waiting so long
And my heart keeps going back for more (You know it)
(I can't stop now, we gon do it again)
Reach for it
(I can't stop now, we gon do it again)
Been waiting so long
And my heart keeps going back for more
(We gon do it again, said we gon do it again)

@Ermeyas Tulu That's only about 25% bigger. Being called "giant", you would think it would be at least 50% bigger.
