Need A Way Out

Lyrics

I'm riding through the city with my top back, top back I got my thing ready, cut back Life's a gamble, I gotta bet, stop that Well it's your time you can't turn the clock back, I need a way out I just need a way out, I just need a way out Life's a gamble, I gotta bet, stop that Well it's your time you can't turn the clock back, I need a way out I just need a way out, I just need a way out On my knees praying for a better way Waiting on a miracle we need a change Alcoholic sleep I got stomach pains I'm hungry and my father ain't been home in days When it's quiet I can hear my mama crying In the sound of her voice that she tired of trying No funds, food stamps and the rent is due The same thing for breakfast is for dinner too No hope like I'm doomed 'fore I get a chance 13 and they forcing me to be a man What I'm 'posed to do, tell me what my options is Resorted to the streets, I never wanted this Dropped school, petty crimes turn to robberies Cocaine turn to crack next turn to g's I'm on a block killing 'em with 100 packs Feels like I'm trapped, I need a way out I'm riding through the city with my top back, top back I got my thing ready, cut back Life's a gamble, I gotta bet, stop that Well it's your time you can't turn the clock back, I need a way out I just need a way out, I just need a way out Life's a gamble, I gotta bet, stop that Well it's your time you can't turn the clock back, I need a way out I just need a way out, I just need a way out So now I'm in the cell in my state greens Fast life, caught up to me viciously Tryna stand strong but I wanna scream Cause all I got is letters and my memories [?] 15 years in the hole, I'm only just 17 years old I try to close my eyes I see nightmares Hearing grown men yelling on the top tier Feeling like my whole life wasted My mind can't grow behind these cages Tryna keep hope but I'm losing it How the fuck I'm 'posed to live with [?] tuna fish Tell me how long can a man endure God let 'em have mercy when I see the board Cause this is time that I'm never getting back I want another chance, I need a way out I'm riding through the city with my top back, top back I got my thing ready, cut back Life's a gamble, I gotta bet, stop that Well it's your time you can't turn the clock back, I need a way out I just need a way out, I just need a way out Life's a gamble, I gotta bet, stop that Well it's your time you can't turn the clock back, I need a way out I just need a way out, I just need a way out I'm laying in the bed in my plus suite Staring at the ceiling, I can't sleep Two different women laying next to me Thinking, is this what it's supposed to be? Looking in the mirror, I'm a rapper now Wow, what was supposed to happen now? I thought success brought happiness So tell me why the fuck I ain't happy yet Gotta love the fact I turned my life around I came up but I think my soul is down I mean I'm blessed to receive the love But I think I lost track of what my mission was Too busy in the club popping champagne Almost I forgot about my mama's pain Knowing that I'm blessed, thank God for that But I still feel trapped, I need a way out I'm riding through the city with my top back, top back I got my thing ready, cut back Life's a gamble, I gotta bet, stop that Well it's your time you can't turn the clock back, I need a way out I just need a way out, I just need a way out Life's a gamble, I gotta bet, stop that Well it's your time you can't turn the clock back, I need a way out I just need a way out, I just need a way out
