No Way Out
DJ Screw Al-D Lyrics

No way out
Feeling trapped and hopeless

I was stuck in my head felt like no way out
Feeling mentally and emotionally trapped

My nigga locked in a cage and there's no way out out out
A friend is imprisoned with seemingly no chance of release

Coming from a long ass hiatus I was stuck in my head felt like no way out
After a long break, feeling stuck and hopeless

Can't can't get a job cause my record now
Having a criminal record prevents finding employment

Feel like I'm trapped in a maze and there's no way out
Feeling stuck and lost in a difficult situation

Feds got my nigga under investigation
A friend is being investigated by law enforcement

Encountering all these brand new situation
Dealing with unfamiliar and challenging circumstances

I done jumped in the water and there's no way out
Feeling fully committed to a situation with no clear escape

Out, feel like no way out
Feeling stuck and hopeless

Can't can't get work F on my name
Having a criminal record makes finding employment difficult

How I'm pose to get a job to feed my little man
Despite wanting to provide for family, unable to find employment due to record

It's not meant for us to thrive in their system
Society's systems are not designed for the success of certain groups

Still feel like a slave with all these executions
Despite progress, experiences of oppression and mistreatment continue

No matter what we still die if we not guilty
Injustice and violence faced by marginalized groups, even if they are innocent

Don't ever let a bitch talk you out the rubber
Advocating for safe sex practices to avoid unwanted pregnancy or STDs

Slip up nut inside cause she scream I love You
Warning against trusting a romantic partner's words over acting responsibly

If that's the homie then why don't he ever come around?
Questioning the loyalty and genuineness of a supposed friend

It's because she fuckin him when I'm not around
Suspecting unfaithfulness and betrayal by a romantic partner

This stress got me daze feelin' hopeless now
Feeling overwhelmed and hopeless due to stress

Feel like I'm bout to drown and there's no way out
Feeling desperate and overwhelmed with no clear solution or escape

If I call you my brother then you situated
Real brotherhood means having each other's backs in difficult times

Man life too short for that secret hating
Life is too brief to waste time on hidden jealousy and negativity

For you no debating leave a body on the pavement
Threatening violence against those who harm loved ones

I can't sleep at night unless my people safe
Worrying about the safety and well-being of friends and loved ones

Born into this shit adapt to situations
Growing up in difficult circumstances and learning to cope with various challenges

If I don't react now then I might not make it
Feeling a sense of urgency to take action before it's too late

Can't react now cause them boys are faking
Being cautious and aware of fake or dangerous people

Overreact now then mistakes I'm makin
Being aware of the risks of overreaction and impulsivity

My own family sneak dissing on the kid
Experiencing ridicule and criticism from close relatives

How the hell did you forget what a nigga did
Feeling frustrated and hurt by loved ones forgetting past successes or struggles

You was down on your dick who gave a couple ends?
Being frustrated with those who only support during financial struggles

When I really look back they wasn't really fam
Realizing that some supposed friends and family are not really loyal or supportive
