How could I ever run away and never be free

My heart was in the washer but she wanted to keep

Just a piece of it, but I was too involved in the streetsUntil I found myself, but now I′m all alone but I'm free

Crying over subjects that I won′t discuss, who can I trust?

Deep inside my mind but still I feel concussed

Cussing at the flight attendant, why can't this plane land any sooner

I got things to do, bitches to see, and fuck the rumors

Ain't nobody ever pulled up on me, Is that my ego

Screaming in the back of the bus? My life is just a free throw

Made by Shaq, attacking other Gang Members but for what?

I thought I fell for certain bitches, it was just for lust

Must I tell that I love her first, whats worse?

Falling for a woman? Or end up getting hurt

So I keep my distance, instantly I see on the horizon

My own future, throwing up the Rakes like I′m Poseidon

Realizing that I always had much more potential

Whether scoring with a basketball, or rapping over instrumentals

Drunk on the bike trail, a 40 in my hand

My baby momma told me that I′ll never be a man

How could I ever run away and never be free

My heart was in the washer but she wanted to keep

Just a piece of it, but I was too involved in the streets

Until I found myself, but now I'm all alone but I′m free

Reminiscing over past lovers, and I was just a mothafucka

Fucking mothers with kids the same age as me, without rubbers

Busting nuts on tops of sheet, beat the cheeks and skeet

Bringing little caesars hot and readys so she called me cheap

But it never bothered me, now that I'm a father see

I think about the scholarship offers, that I lost and G

It′s really kinda sad how I threw it all away

To selling dope rocks and living day to day

Spray painting walls with my hood, I feel like I'm good

But I′m past drunk, and really feel I wish a nigga would

Say something just to press the issue, I could never miss you

With this .38 I kept by my side, the type of shit I'm into

Gets me into trouble, now I'm on probation

The best thing I could do, is keep Satan waiting

If that is my destiny, then I could just get wet and see

The light at the end of the tunnel, if that′s what′s meant for me

How could I ever run away and never be free

My heart was in the washer but she wanted to keep

Just a piece of it, but I was too involved in the streets

Until I found myself, but now I'm all alone but I′m free

Breaking down factions, interactions with the wrong side

These bitches is on my mind, but death could never cross mine

Feeling like I got some shit to prove, nigga move

If you wanna make something of yourself, pick and choose

How you live ya life, but be careful how you live it

I wanna live suburban with a wife and 2 children

But karma got other plans, I hold inside my hands

A pistol that I killed a nigga with, I reprimand

My own conscience so let's be honest, you wanna tell the truth?

Regretting how you lived, but there nothing you can do

The past is in the past, you have to look ahead

Think of all the homies you lost, your soul dead

In my head I can′t think about the negatives I've costed

I thought I found my mind, in reality I lost it

Running out the faucet is my pride, right in time

I let go of my ego and I left a life of crime

How could I ever run away and never be free

My heart was in the washer but she wanted to keep

Just a piece of it, but I was too involved in the streets

Until I found myself, but now I′m all alone but I'm free
