I don't know why but I

Feel like I'm stuck inside

This prison where nothing's real

I gotta get outta here

Oh I don't know why I

Find myself in situations

That I just can't escape from

Yeah, I feel like I'm always surrounded

By these people who just ain't about it

And lately my thoughts have been clouded

By the voices that keep getting louder

I'm out of excuses to keep you around

I'm cutting you loose if you bringing me down

Been making some room for the things that I found

Are bringing me peace

Yeah I kept the receipts

From those that love to give feedback

And emphasize on what we lack

Little did they know that I need that

Kind of inspiration to wreak havoc

On anything that's in the way of

Getting paid for putting pen to paper

Failure just ain't in my DNA cause

I just wanna make a better way for

My family

Got my son who's looking at me

Wondering if somehow daddy's

Gonna really make it rapping

Yeah, you know I'm tapped in every time I'm on the mic

I packed it up and left my 9 to 5

But the rent is still due so I'm on my grind

Ain't no looking back on what's behind me

I don't know why but I

Feel like I'm stuck inside

This prison where nothing's real

I gotta get outta here

Oh I don't know why I

Find myself in situations

That I just can't escape from

Yeah, the chains are now off and I'm free

To go be who I wanted to be

Long before I was taught to believe

It was wrong to go follow a dream

Are you following me when I say that we're raised

In a system that tells you how you should behave

And conditions your mental to stay in your lane?

I don't know what else more I can say

I just hope I can set an example

If you feeling the way that I feel

Then you know that this life is

Too short to stay trapped in

This prison you wanna escape

It all started by walking in faith

Cause I know at the end of the day

There ain't ever a risk that I take

Without knowing that this is the way

I'm supposed to going

There's no way of knowing

What lies up ahead

But I know if I let myself get in my head

Then I might as well give up and be left for dead

So I'm choosing to live in my gifting

Instead of sitting around when I'm 50

Thinking what could've been if I didn't let fear win

And just would've went with my instinct

I don't know why but I

Feel like I'm stuck inside

This prison where nothing's real

I gotta get outta here

Oh I don't know why I

Find myself in situations

That I just can't escape from
