J.Bone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the debts you owe that you've never paid
Time to collect, now they got you in their sights
You're at the end now, and it's no surprise
(Chorus)
You'll never make it on the run
Staring down the barrel of a loaded gun
There's no one there when you scream and shout!
No way out!
Can't run away, from the wreckage left behind
Just when you think you're free, you can't run and hide
See the .45, fear is in your eyes
Don't really care, if you live or you die
The lyrics to J.Bone's song No Way Out tells the story of the struggles and hardships faced by people living in the ghetto.

In the Roman gates here to make no mistakes
Handle stakes and man Lord meet me half ah the way
Kicking up dust thugging with my runaway slaves, for safety
Livin' in ah world so cruel

But I'ma stay Christian
Feeling the need to take action and live life to the fullest, even when faced with challenges and uncertainty, and clinging to one's faith as a source of strength.
