Let Me Out

12 years old, I killed a boy To become a man 16, the street is all I've known Since I can't remember when Can I find peace In this hell I'm in? Can I find peace In this hell I'm in? 18 to life, my momma cried When they threw me in the pen My father said you ain't my son Don't you ever come round again Can I find peace From this hell I'm in? Can I find peace In this hell I'm in? Breaking down the walls around me And it feels like it's never-ending I did my time (I did my time) I gave my life (I gave my life) Why won't you let me out, let me out? Let me out, let me out God has long forgotten me My concrete colored path A view through bars at withered dreams Are all I'll ever have Can I find peace From this hell I'm in? Can I find peace? Breaking down the walls around me And it feels like it's never-ending I did my time (I did my time) I gave my life (I gave my life) Why won't you let me out, let me out? Let me out, let me out All I need is one A day with chains undone To feel the wind and run To feel the warmth of the sun Breaking down the walls around me And it feels like it's never-ending I did my time (I did my time) I gave my life (I gave my life) Why won't you let me out, let me out? Let me out, let me out Let me out, let me out Let me out, let me out
