Go On (verse 3)
people in authority are the majority they have priority
but people in the minority dont get seniority it all points to my inferiority,
but i'll keep goin and write rhymes in my blood if i must,
it's get rich or bust, keep tryin' until my body forever turns to dust,
i don't know what strengthens my blood, but i won't let my life fall,
i gotta get away from the alcohol,
the addiction is killin' me from inside,
i gotta live so i can stand next to my bride,
for all time
immortalize myself in rhyme,
even though i probaly wont get a dime,
but in the end i'll go back to where i began,
minus the silly grin, and i'll talk to my kin,
ask them how they been, and tell them all about my sin,
so they can go on
