Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was yours
Nobody told me
Don't fall for traps
Good will haunt you
Now I'm old in this game
And I'm sad, in my ways
A hundred miles I'm runnin'
This is the journey that I'm on
And I won't stop till I find my way
Out of the maze
[Verse 2]
Ghetto walkin'
Streets to find me
Devil's watchin'
They can't hold me down
Ghetto walkin'
Streets to find me
Devil's watchin'
They can't hold me down
[Verse 3]
So low, I'm thinking one way out
In a box in a church and the people shout
Grandma's hands pray for me
But these streets still prayed on me
Yeah man, they want you down as another number
Jail cell, big money in the new order
They killin' hope in this ghetto school
Rise child, making all the rules
Wanna way out, wanna way out
[Verse 4]
Ghetto walkin'
Streets to find me
Devil's watchin'
They can't hold me down
[Verse 5]
Ghetto walkin'
Streets to find me
Devil's watchin'
They can't hold me down
