Chris Rivers hasn't slacked one bit this year. The son of the great Big Pun has delivered a new song every week as part of his "Barz Day Wednesday" series. Each week, he's taken a beat, whether old or new, and flexed his musicality all over it. Last week, he hopped on Biggie's "Gimme The Loot." Following the untimely death of XXXTENTACION, Big Pun pays his respect to the late rapper with his new track, "RIP X."

Chris Rivers is back with another "Barz Day Wednesday" effort, this time he hops on XXXTENTACION's "Carry On" instrumental from 17. His latest entry is much more introspective than last week's "Gimme The Boost." He opens the track with a "RIP X" chant before telling a tale of how a relationship with someone could go from love to hate over time.

Check out the latest "Barz Day Wednesday" entry from Chris Rivers.

Quotable Lyrics
The worst part is I don't care now
You should take that chip up off your shoulder, let your hair down
You used change my heart beat with just a stare down
You kicked me out, I really had to think and walk it off
So took the stairs down
