Won't Go (Wishing)

Chorus: Adele Adkins

I won't go

I can't do it on my own

If this ain't love, then what is?

I'm willing to take the risk

I won't go

I can't do it on my own

If this ain't love, then what is?

I, I'm willing to take the risk

Verse 1: Jay-Z

You can catch me on top now, playin' the club

Throwin' a shot down, tryin' to stay above

Ground, another round–breakin' day in the club

Surrounded by my own thoughts, playin' a cut

Reminiscin' on days I ain't have a pot to piss in

No watch to glisten, no V's with hot systems

Missin' my homies that passed right in front of my eyes

Due to the fast life; we told wonderful lies

On how we would live forever, time proved us wrong

Had to get our shit together and move it along

Had dreams of being Big niggas, Jig niggas

Drivin' the hottest cars, movin' out with our moms and I'm –

Chorus: Adele Adkins

I won't go

I can't do it on my own

If this ain't love, then what is?

I'm willing to take the risk

I won't go

I can't do it on my own

If this ain't love, then what is?

I, I'm willing to take the risk

Verse 2: Jay-Z

Thoughts interrupted by this chicken that I used to cluck with

Back in the days when I was movin' much shit

"What up, chick?"

"Maintainin', it's the same old thang

A little stress, a little bullshit, ain't too much changed

I see you kept it movin', you see I kept improvin'?"

She nodded her head in agreement

"Remember when I used to walk up and down the cement, puttin' it down

Knew the 'Streets was Watching', stay hooded down?

Just to earn a rep, but what good is it now?"

She said, "Damn, I just stopped to say hi... bye"

I was too deep for you from day one

That's why we never had relations, continued in my own zone

Chorus: Adele Adkins

I won't go

I can't do it on my own

If this ain't love, then what is?

I'm willing to take the risk

I won't go

I can't do it on my own

If this ain't love, then what is?

I, I'm willing to take the risk

Verse 3: Jay-Z

We used to play tap-tap for rap tracks

Run, catch, and kiss in the back park until it got dark

Wanted to be like the older males, sneak and drink older Champale

Dangerous games, we played on the third rail

Fiend for the summer breeze, hopped out the Lee's Dungarees

Into the Hawaiian shorts, relyin' on sports

To take us away from here, but I cut too much

So I had a plan B, used to rhyme with a brush

In the mirror, my siblings used to back me up

Like Doug E. Fresh and Ricky D. – Eric, Mickey, and me

All my niggas, is you with me? Each of y'all

Let's reach for the stars now... Jigga!

Chorus: Adele Adkins

I won't go

I can't do it on my own

If this ain't love, then what is?

I'm willing to take the risk

I won't go

I can't do it on my own

If this ain't love, then what is?

I, I'm willing to take the risk

~

I won't go

I can't do it on my own

If this ain't love, then what is?

I'm willing to take the risk

I won't go

I can't do it on my own

If this ain't love, then what is?

I, I'm willing to take the risk
