Joyner Lucas - Way To Go Lyrics






I got pain in my soul (way to go)
And I ain't prayed in so long (I said way to go)
Jesus can't save me no more (way to go)
Just remember the road

You feel like the world is a gangster, you feel like you had a bad case of the "can't help it", you feel like sometimes all hope is gone and every time you wanted to do good, evil was always prevalent on you. You hear me? He came to kill, steal and destroy your soul and now you look at yourself and you say, "I just got pain in my soul".

Ugh, I ain't felt this way since Wednesday
I brought a switchblade to 6th grade
Way before Myspace and Sam-space
I had a crush on Beyoncé and Kim K
I went to work late and missed out
My Grandma told me, "In ten days you're kicked out"
Never went to Sunday School, I skipped out and then went to the mall and got draped up and tripped out
I used to listen to Bon Jovi and hang with my Aunt Rosie, then she called the cops on me
Crack in my socks runnin', my neighbor up top sold me
Nowhere to run now—thanks a lot homie
Misunderstood, trust me I know what you took from me
She said, " I know you're in a relationship and you couldn't love me
And you know we got something and you know it's time
So what you waitin' for?
Goddamn you let me down again, way to go

I got pain in my soul (way to go)
And I ain't prayed in so long (I said way to go)
Jesus can't save me no more (way to go)
Just remember the road

I came to tell you tonight that there's good news that Jesus came to save you from all of your sins and he came to wash it away with his blood. The enemy came to steal, kill and destroy your soul and now all you can do is that in your soul, is that there is nothing but pain.

Ugh, niggas just throw fits, I'm so sick
I'm tired of my broke friends who smoke cigs
I just wanna gold Benz with with smoke tens
And take all of my hoes on a road trip, just no kids
I guess it's cool to dream when you ain't used to havin' much
I know this breakup hurtin' you and you sad and such
I know you not happy, stop actin' like you havin' fun
I know you snoopin' through my Instagram gettin' mad as fuck
I tried to run away from home before the ass-beatin's
All I wanted was some clothes, but it's tax season
I love it when they Black, but they act 'Rican
My pastor think that I'm half Black and half Demon
What the fuck is you tryin' for? What's mine is yours
What's yours is mine and I'm down for, we ridin' for it
We wanted this a long time ago, what you waitin' for?
Goddamn, you let me down again (way to go)

I got pain in my soul
Way to go
And I ain't prayed in so long
Way to go
This sinnin' can't save me no more
Way to go
This the end of the road
I got pain in my soul
Way to go
And I ain't prayed in so long
Way to go
This sinnin' can't save me no more
Way to go
This the end of the road
I got pain in my soul
Way to go
Ta-ta ah ah ah ah ah
Why-yy yy yy
I ain't prayed in so long
Way to go
Sinnin' can't save me no more
No more

Yo wassup, this is Joyner
I'm unable to take your call right now
Leave me a brief message and I'll get back to you, peace

Man, think about a little baby girl and a baby boy. Man makes them happy, to carry, to carry heavy load. Lord.

    I got pain in my soul (way to go)
    And I ain't prayed in so long (I said, way to go)
    Jesus can't save me no more (way to go)
    Just remember the road

    [Interlude]
    You feel like the world is against you
    You feel like you had a bad case of the "can't help it"
    You feel like sometimes all hope is gone
    And every time you wanted to do good
    Evil was always prevalent on you, you hear me?
    He came to kill, steal and destroy your soul
    And now you look at yourself
    And you say, "I just got pain in my soul"

    [Verse 1: Joyner Lucas]
    Uhh, I ain't felt this way since Wednesday
    I brought a switchblade to 6th grade
    Way before Myspace and Sam-space
    I had a crush on Beyoncé and Kim K
    I went to work late and missed out
    My Grandma told me, "In ten days you're kicked out"
    Never went to Sunday School, I skipped out
    And then went to the mall and got draped up and dripped out
    I used to listen to Bon Jovi
    And hang with my Aunt Rosie, then she called the cops on me
    Crack in my socks runnin', my neighbor up top sold me
    Nowhere to run now, thanks a lot homie
    Misunderstood, trust me I know what you took from me
    She said, "I know you're in a relationship and you couldn't love me
    And you know we got something and you know it's time so what you waitin' for?
    Goddamn you let me down again, way to go"

    [Chorus: Snoh Aalegra & Joyner Lucas]
    I got pain in my soul (way to go)
    And I ain't prayed in so long (I said, way to go)
    Jesus can't save me no more (way to go)

    [Interlude]
    I came to tell you tonight that there's good news
    That Jesus came to save you from all of your sins
    And he came to wash it away with his blood
    The enemy came to steal, kill and destroy your soul
    And now all you can do is that in your soul
    Is that there is nothing but pain

    [Verse 2: Joyner Lucas]
    Uhh, niggas just throw fits, I'm so sick
    I'm tired of my broke friends who smoke cigs
    I just wanna gold Benz with with smoke tens

    Logic is better than you ever will be. You starting drama for no reason :/ your track "I'm not racist" is actually Terrible. Why don't you say sorry to logic and you guys could start something good together.. something life changing

    J.... i....

  37. E.... ....

    All of his music is just pure artistry.

  38. B.... H....

  39. X.... R....

    What's the name of this voice effect?

  40. T.... ....

    Joyner's "Gorgeous"

  41. J.... B....

    I said id go a day without listening to Joyner.....here I am...

  42. K.... J....

    I AM A NEW FAN BUT NOW A TRUE FAN!!! I gotta follow everything before and after this album .... This guy is serious and this is the music I want to listen to right here... Shouts out to you bro for getting out here and being different... But not forgetting to actually make music we can understand .... Great Job

  43. M.... C....

    Why does that sound like Kevin gates speaking or am I tripping?

  44. o.... t....

    that producer went the fuck in!

  45. D.... T....

    Shits dope but definitely hear Kanye’s influence heavy here; go listen to ‘Gorgeous’ on MBDTF & then this

  46. R.... T....

    That hit me hard G say up

  47. F.... P....

    I wanna hear joyner, j. Cole & Kendrick Lamar on a track

  48. T.... N....

    This is my favorite track on this album! Fucking fire!

  49. j.... s....

    Way to go☝

  50. D.... S....

    Becoming my favorite song 💯❌💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

  51. n.... ....

    This was such a kendrick attempt with that distortion lmao; corny

    n.... ....

    Which kendrick song were you referring to? He didn't invent distortion lmao

    n.... ....

    nahur u did know kendrick distortion was inspired by Kanye mbdft album...n kendrick only used that once so how,is that a trademark sound of kung fu Kenny? N other genre has done this kinda sound for awhile now..ur lacking on a little knowledge..but the more u.know right

    n.... ....

    I'm not even a Kendrick fanboy either not saying the dude invented distortion however this use of it was VERY Kendrick-esque. The application of the pitch was too similar to deny a bite.
    This track is far from the only reason why this nigga's corny too

  52. S.... M....

    I so wish I could direct a music video in South Africa

    S.... M....

    for this one

  53. S.... G....

    New hip hop fan right here! Well kinda. Every once in awhile I enjoy some Nas, the newer KRS one, immortal, and just discovered Jidenna (which other than that trash Classic Man BS, is a hella lyricist). So yea, may have to park my punk rock, hardcore, doom and indie..... mobile. Lol
    Fuck, im in awe at the raw, honest emotion in all of this.

  54. r.... M....

    this has an early kanye west vibe with the vocal effects

  55. B.... L....

    Stay grinding

  56. l.... m....

    Snoh took the shine on this song

  57. T.... M....

    That beat....
    🔥

  58. Q.... ....

    While lil pump and uzi are big as fuck, there are artists like joyner who makes real shit, soulful rap music and are skillful MCs whole don't got all the glory

  59. C.... F....

    I'm loving the new album dude ! it took me awhile to hear it I been locked up damn near the whole 2017 when I got out and seen you had a new album i was so excited! and it's as dope as I expected

  60. W.... V....

    This Song HOLY SHIIIIT Such Raw Emotion damn and That Hook OOOOH BITCH MUSIC

  61. B.... W....

    This song needs to be in a movie. At least in a trailer for an action film.

  62. L.... K....

    the girl sounds like adele

  63. R.... ....

    One of my favorite from this album so far😍❣️

  64. T.... B....

    my favorite cut on the album....so soulful!!

  65. K.... T....

    Brings me tears of joy to see that we have a real artist in the rap game. On repeat for life man "Way to Go"

  66. R.... B....

    I used to listen to Bon jovi with my auntie and my uncle pretty cool

  67. O.... ....

    Listen to this and then listen to Kanye West "Gorgeous"

  68. V.... C....
