Living outside, that's where i reside The struggle is REAL, the truth i must lie Faking a smile cuz were taught not to cry SO Behind a fake facade most of us hide No way to win but every which way to lose In this concrete jungle, we must pay our dues No speed limit obeyed gotta keep moving fast get on your feet or you'll fall on your ass As seasons change I'm hot but I'm cold if only we listened to what we are told No mansion or fancy cars, just tough streets to roam Since I was a kid..I was already grown I walk to the beat of a different rhythm ALWAYS the suspect, but never the victim Living life on the edge, outside the norm Everything changes so I learn to adapt & transform In this cruel world, I stayy caught in the eye of the storm No time for hesitation, gotta move fast Every hit I take knowing it could be my last Survival of the fittest, that's the game i play In this concrete jungle, where my dreams did decay Outside the box, i break all the rules im confined being surrounded by society's fools Out in this world there's no more love ONLY lust Were all the same inside so whats the racist fuss We all bleed red & we are all made from dust To dust we will return the Bible promises us Every day's a test, so I just stay high I guess i keep thanking God even tho im not blessed Come judgment Day all our sins we must confess No words to express the struggle i face In this world where drugs is my saving grace No chorus to repeat, just the verses flowin' Outside people can't stay too long, but I gotta keep goin' Where there's a will, , ill find my way Livin' without walls...is where the REAL struggle holds sway I'll paint the picture to make it more clear outside people are crazy but being alone I fear No bridge left to burn, just paths to create In this world where staying high dictates my fate Livin' outside, where i still reside ill stay lost cuz the drugs are my guide they've always been with me, they're still right here by my side they'll even go with me to my grave they're the reason i die
