Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everything I own is everything I owe
If it's only dope can I keep my soul?
[Verse 2]
Yo, I don't even know, I struggle just to cope
Hanging by a thread and you a hang a rope
[Verse 3]
I'm more than just the numbers on a paycheck
Working hard on pay just to live less
Oh my God, I'm waiting for the recess
Give me strength to change my life, I need this
I need this
[Verse 4]
'Cause I believe I'll be free, one day I'll be free
Maybe I'm smoking that good shit
I believe I'll be free, one day I'll be free
No matter what time, the prison ain't in my mind
[Verse 5]
Mama always said just enjoy the ride
The grass ain't always greener on the other side
Well
[Verse 6]
Well I don't got no quarrel with this concrete jungle but
I don't see no grass unless I'm smoking it
[Verse 7]
It's more than just the numbers on a paycheck
Working hard on pay just to live less
Oh my God, I'm waiting for the recess
Give me strength to change the things, I need this
I need this
[Verse 8]
'Cause I believe I'll be free, one day I'll be free
Maybe I'm smoking that good shit
I believe I'll be free, one day I'll be free
No matter what time, the prison ain't in my mind
[Verse 9]
Save me, save me
No matter how hard the time
I keep my head high
