I was stuck in my head felt like no way out
My nigga locked in a cage and there's no way out out out
Coming from a long ass hiatus I was stuck in my head felt like no way out
No way out I was stuck in my head felt like no way out
Can't can't get a job cause my record now
Feel like I'm trapped in a maze and there's no way out
Feds got my nigga under investigation
Encountering all these brand new situation
I done jumped in the water and there's no way out
Coming from a long ass hiatus
I was stuck in my head felt like no way out
Out, feel like no way out
I done jumped in the water and there's no way out
My nigga locked in a cage and there's no way out
Out feel like no way out
Can't can't get work F on my name
How I'm pose to get a job to feed my little man
Shoot and lock me up for drugs you introducing
It's not meant for us to thrive in their system
Still feel like a slave with all these executions
No matter what we still die if we not guilty
Don't ever let a bitch talk you out the rubber
Slip up nut inside cause she scream I love You
If that's the homie then why don't he ever come around?
It's because she fuckin him when I'm not around
This stress got me daze feelin' hopeless now
Feel like I'm bout to drown and there's no way out
Can't can't get a job cause my record now
Feel like I'm trapped in a maze and there's no way out
Feds got my nigga under investigation
My nigga locked in a cage and there's no way out
Encountering all these brand new situation
I done jumped in the water and there's no way out
Coming from a long ass hiatus
I was stuck in my head Felt like no way out
Out, feel like no way out
I done jumped in the water and there's no way out
My nigga locked in a cage and there's no way out
Out feel like no way out
If I call you my brother then you situated
Man life too short for that secret hating
For you no debating leave a body on the pavement
I can't sleep at night unless my people safe
Born into this shit adapt to situations
If I don't react now then I might not make it
Can't react now cause them boys are faking
Overreact now then mistakes I'm makin
My own family sneak dissing on the kid
How the hell did you forget what a nigga did
You was down on your dick who gave a couple ends?
When I really look back they wasn't really fam
Can't can't get a job cause my record now
Feel like I'm trapped in a maze and there's no way out
Feds got my nigga under investigation
My nigga locked in a cage and there's no way out
Encountering all these brand new situation
I done jumped in the water and there's no way out
Coming from a long ass hiatus
I was stuck in my head felt like no way out
Out feel like no way out
I was stuck in my head felt like no way out
My nigga locked in a cage and there's no way out
Out feel like no way out
No way out
I was stuck in my head felt like no way out
Locked in a cage and there's no way out out out
