trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
i'm trying to hide my feelings
from the people that i know
and everywhere i go i'm trying to lay low
can't afford to get in no trouble because i'm on parole
i'm trying to live life right
god knows with all my might
but i'm just barely getting by
cuz money's way too tight
the struggle and the fight
it's weakin' all the muscles in my body like kryptonite
making me feel like there is no other way
but the different streets get that dough
living and praying for a better day.so!
trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
don't need feds all upon it
i done left that life alone
cuz all i did was impress
and then my conscience told me
