I Wanna Stay Outside

Through the eyes of a homeboy dirt broke and starvin' Fresh on parole and the system keeps carvin' A chip on his shoulduh streets getting colduh Down for the hood just another lonely soldier Caught up in the mix with the drugs and the conflicts Bangin' ghetto tricks makin' money with the convicts No future in his front and his hope's in the far back Robbin' mothafuckas bout to go and pull a car jack To go and get a gee ride scoop up the homeboys Shotguns and rifles pistol grips and chrome toys Shoot um up bang bang that be his past time Hobbies drink and gangbang might be his last time Before he hits the walls again to do a long stretch Smile now cry later on the tiempo he might catch Even though the last time is when he said that he was through With the pinta and the hood life that put um in the "S.H.U." I wanna stay outside I wanna stay outside No more chains Cuz life's so crazy I said this life's so crazy I wanna stay outside I wanna stay outside No more chains Cuz life's so crazy I said this life's so crazy Out once again from those walls don't wanna go back Breathin' free air on the calle and he knows that It might not last cuz it's hard to go the right way Reaching for the past with homies and you might say He's just reminscin' how they nevuh did listen In and out reform schools and juvenile detention Banging colors on the scene a skinny ass youngsta Taggin' up the thirteen and crossin' out the other number Deep in his heart he was destined for the lock up Getting drunk as fuck and pulling cuetes spray the block up From the county to the pinta and sometimes he's feeling trapped But accepts that it's his vida writing verses on a rap Bout how it all started drinkin' forties at the projects Twelve years old and just another gang prospect Never thinking twice about a consequence or reason Now it's just his celly and the little box he sleeps in I wanna stay outside I wanna stay outside No more chains Cuz life's so crazy I said this life's so crazy I wanna stay outside I wanna stay outside No more chains Cuz life's so crazy I said this life's so crazy To hell with the P-O to hell with the judge And fuck the D-A cuz you know there ain't no love The path that I took and the way I chose to live Is the same most of my homies went and took when we were kids But what can I do but keep on rolling with the punches Steady smashing through and always knowing that once this Life comes to an end I tried my best to do a good thing And not an early death with all the drama that the hood brings Wish I could go back to when those times were brand new But now they've gotten old skipping records playing "You" I hold on to all these memories and always remembering Sometimes I had everything at times didn't have anything It just ain't the same teardrops in the rain It might mask my sorrow but it can't mask my pain "I'm never going back" be the words of a past thought Tiempo is a fact pushing foward to the last stop I wanna stay outside I wanna stay outside No more chains Cuz life's so crazy I said this life's so crazy I wanna stay outside I wanna stay outside No more chains Cuz life's so crazy I said this life's so crazy
