[Verse 1]
Momma told me take things slow
I don't got nowhere to go
Father leavin' message on the phone
Tellin' me to leave these drugs alone
Tell me where I gotta be?
Head is hurtin' and I'm losin' I don't sleep, yeah
And they keep talkin' death upon my name
Before I go I hope I make some change
[Chorus]
You can't have it both ways
Yeah you threw the love away
It's gon' hurt for me to leave
But it'll hurt for me to stay, so-
You can't have it both ways
Yeah you threw the love away
It's gon' hurt for me to leave
But it'll hurt for me to stay, so-
[Verse 2]
This a message for my son
When it come to love you been the only one
I think I'm through with the music, I think I'm done
And I truly hope you proud of what I become
And if I ever gotta go away
I promise you I wish that I could stay
The feds tryna build a case
But we gon' make this money either way
[Chorus]
You can't have it both ways
Yeah you threw the love away
It's gon' hurt for me to leave
But it'll hurt for me to stay, so-
You can't have it both ways
Yeah you threw the love away
It's gon' hurt for me to leave
But it'll hurt for me to stay, so-
