First Day Out

Lyrics

[Intro: Mega Ran] Yeah Yeah Uh-huh First day out, can't wait Yeah [Verse 1] Been locked down so long I lost track of the days Threw my calendar away As I sit back in a daze Making marks on the wall And going out of my mind I tried to take any route I could find No escape I'm guilty 'til proven innocent Tryna do my due diligence But sitting in a cage will make you militant When ain't nobody listening Screaming (But it sounds like I'm whispering...) Now apathetic A result of my conditioning Can't stop thinking 'bout my first day out When I break out, and how it's all gonna shake out Will my job phase out? Hyperlinks greyed out? And when I get out Will I be smart enough to stay out? Man, I try not to dwell on it Questioning all my relеvance A side effеct of arrested development Everything's irrelevant But self-preservation, with no reservations I keep praying It's the moment I'm awaiting The feeling I've been chasing The feeling of escaping The nights I spent pacing The chains I dream of breaking I see the gates raising I push with no hesitation Liberation I've been craving It's amazing My first day out! [Chorus] Can't wait 'til they open up the gates Yeah C'mon! Can't wait 'til they see my face Yeah, without a doubt On my first day out Can't wait 'til they open up the gates C'mon! Can't wait 'til they see my face Without a doubt It's goin' down on my first day out [Instrumental Break] Uh, my first day out Uh, can't wait, yo [Verse 2] Last few hours tick down I watch the hands on the clock inch down Way too nervous, can't even sit down Walking, putting holes in the floor Wondering how much I'll recognize And the surprises that are in store Almost expecting some sorta technicality Or a minor formality To bring me back to this harsh reality I'm counting each second Exhaling on each check-in And looking for each blessing The end of my depression awaits Once I'm out of this place I'm gone without any trace I see my family outside of the gates And they wave, I wave back, but... Something seems a bit off I've waited what seems like forever To escape these brick walls A siren, to my surprise Open my eyes The moment arrives Crossed every T and I dotted my I's Held on through all of the grit and the grime Now victory's mine They thought that I'd be eaten by the demon But I'm sweetened by the thought of freedom Like the fruit in Eden Time to carpe diem My eyes are blinded by the sunlight Peaceful like the aftermath of gunfights You only get one life Don't forget now I'm about to make the most of it And make those who doubted me throw a fit 'Til it's over with My first day out [Chorus] Can't wait 'til they open up the gates Yeah C'mon! Can't wait they see my face Yeah, without a doubt On my first day out Can't wait 'til they open up the gates C'mon! Can't wait 'til they see my face Without a doubt It's goin' down On my first day out [Chorus] Can't wait 'til they open up the gates Can't wait to escape My first day out Can't wait 'til they see my face Yeah, without a doubt On my first day out Can't wait 'til they open up the gates [Post-Chorus] It ain't a game, I watch everything change On my first day out Can't wait 'til they see my face Without a doubt, it's goin' down On my first day out [Instrumental Outro]
