OWN WAY OUT

Ain't nobody gave me shit & If they did, I gave it back Paying off my debt Bout to save a couple stacks I did my part, kept my word Honestly I'm proud of that Felt depressed, got out of that I got so stressed i doubted that I'll ever make it But it's all there, I just gotta take it Cause nothings ever given I stay up late thinking about who listens Thinking about my vision Making my own decisions Couple of things I'm missing Yea I know there's parts of me that questioned the things I needed Things I grew up wanting came from things that I believed in I was young as f*ck when I fought through most my demons I'm still going through it it's just hard for you to see them Took me all this time just to get back on my feet I was blessed enough to find my purpose staying out the streets I just knew my intuition said that bullshit ain't for me This the chi niggaz know how the city really be You get caught up in the system or get caught in a gang You could end up losing your life or your brothers that remain They will end up teaching yo kids that and they'll end up the same Think I finally accepted I won't change a fucking thing Yo this is how we get it And this is how we riding Yo this is how we living So this is how we dying I live for today I'm tryna get paid I'm making my own way out I'm looking both ways There could be a day Someone could take me out Yo this is how we get it And this is how we riding Yo this is how we living So this is how we dying I live for today I'm tryna get paid I'm making my own way out I'm looking both ways There could be a day Someone could take me out Ain't nothing new to the city but it's new to us Never thought I'd see the day niggaz shoot at us Almost died a nobody A soul with no body I'm tryna live my life but the angels below got me Always knew the good and bad Now I know the real and fake I'm bout to get it back but you thinking I'm too late I'm living for the moment tryna make it through the day And leave the world behind, with the things I wanna say They, want you to fail Get caught up and go to jail Tryna get to paradise cause you living in this hell You're trapped, with no soul And you'll never get it back Cause your demons getting to you so you always in attack mode I stay in rap mode and always away from that so I could live on And point out the wrongs I wonder if they care about what's really going on Too many people died Too many people gone Yo this is how we get it And this is how we riding Yo this is how we living So this is how we dying I live for today I'm tryna get paid I'm making my own way out I'm looking both ways There could be a day Someone could take me out Yo this is how we get it And this is how we riding Yo this is how we living So this is how we dying I live for today I'm tryna get paid I'm making my own way out I'm looking both ways There could be a day Someone could take me out
