Need A Way Out

I'm riding through the city with my top back, top back

I got my thing ready, cocked back

Life's a gamble, i gotta bet, stop that

When 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

When 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

I can hardly 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 before i get a chance

13 and they forcing me to be a man

What i'm supposed to do, tell me what my options is

Resort to the streets, i never wanted this

Drop school, petty crimes turn to robberies

Cocaine turn to crack next turn to g's

I'm on a block killing 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

When 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

When 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

Trying to stand strong but i wanna scream

Cause all i got is letters and my memories

5 to 15 years in the hole, i'm only just 17 years old

I try to close my eyes i see nightmares

Hear grown men yelling on the top tier

Feeling like my whole life wasted

My mind can't grow behind these cages

Trying to keep hope but i'm losing it

How the fuck am i supposed to live offa tuna fish

Tell me how long can a man endure

God let them 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

When 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

When 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 plush suite

Staring at the ceiling i can't sleep

2 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

When 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

When 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.
