Nowhere to Run

[Hook] I want to run away Because I know there's got to be a better place Sometimes I really want to run away But the more I try the more I can't escape Because there ain't nowhere to run Instead I'm drunk, praying to the Lord Saying, "Here I come," Sitting on my bed with a loaded gun Pointed at my head And then my girlfriend screams put the gun away I told her love just saved the day Let's pack our stuff and run away From all this bullshit [Verse 1: Rittz] Man I hate my life, my job, I feel like my days is awful Working nine to five, but give her five to eleven Limping in my front door looking tired and sweating Last thing I feel like doing is going and writing a record My fuckin' socks are soaking wet, my girl gotta go to bed These opposite schedules getting harder to manage Working in a kitchen with a bunch of Mexicans And I swear these motherfuckers talk about me in Spanish My only plan was to make it rapping After so long you start thinking if this shit was meant to be it'd happen If it wasn't for my homie Yelawolf believin' in me I'd probably still be feeling like my dream was shattered Cause my team is scattered, but now I got a second chance And it's time to get the fire back At a young age, I done developed so many bad habits I feel like I'mma have to snort a line to even try to write a rap On top of that I can't afford the power bill Rappin' ain't payin'; makin' nine dollars an hour still Can't afford to have a kid, can't afford to put my girl on the pill Plus I hate the way a condom feel How's your family feel 'bout your music 'bout your numbers? Y'all they said that it was dumb and never gave a shit I be smilin' now, when they tell me they proud But then the climate turn around and say some racist shit So it's strainin' my relationship I told my girl I need her; I'd never leave her if I made it big One day I want to marry you and raise a kid Gone all night long but I ain't chasin' chicks I'm trying to write but always feeling like I can't commit Can't come with, the shit I want to say and vent Instead, I'm steadily drowning am I wastin' it? Sometimes I wish I could escape from this [Hook] [Verse 2: Rittz] I just missed another show cause I gotta work If I try to request any more days off Then my boss gon' fire me He said he's tired of me tryin' him I wanna tell him to go fuck himself But I know ain't nobody hirin' Besides I'm twenty-nine, my future's on the line And my girlfriend rely on me, to try to iron these Problems we created down entirely A year ago, this time, we was in a bind, in a dire need To find a place to live, we was 'bout to lose the crib Had to get a job, that's exactly what I did All for me is set and now this rapper shit is dead Last Christmas, we ain't have the cash to get a gift For each other, man, I'm sick of the struggle Doing drugs made it easy to accept That I settled getting used to, having nada My doctor said I got a bleedin' ulcer in my tummy But I still continue to shoot Rot-gut liquor in my stomach, trying to numb it Can't afford Crown, so I'm sippin' on McCormick's Tryin' to write a rap, but I can't think of a chorus I bet I snort some meth I think some men are menopausal And Wolf said, record exec's checkin' for us So you better step it up, they're scanning the performance Snap back in the music industry I'm missing leads, sick of kissing ass Man I question my endurance So I pour another shot, trying to calm me some Alcohol really can't resolve it none Still pissed off, thinking everyone is dumb Because I don't give a fuck what team LeBron is on Whoever follows on, Twitter the comments on My Facebook wall tellin' y'all what all I'm doin' I'm a ray of sunshine, yeah, ball of fun But they can look up and I'll be gone [Hook]
