I Wanna Stay Outside

Through the eyes of a homeboy dirt broke and starvin'
 Fresh on parole and the system keeps carvin'
 A chip on his shoulduh streets getting colduh
 Down for the hood just another lonely soldier
 Caught up in the mix with the drugs and the conflicts
 Bangin' ghetto tricks makin' money with the convicts
 No future in his front and his hope's in the far back
 Robbin' mothafuckas bout to go and pull a car jack
 To go and get a gee ride scoop up the homeboys
 Shotguns and rifles pistol grips and chrome toys
 Shoot um up bang bang that be his past time
 Hobbies drink and gangbang might be his last time
 Before he hits the walls again to do a long stretch
 Smile now cry later on the tiempo he might catch
 Even though the last time is when he said that he was through
 With the pinta and the hood life that put um in the "S.H.U."
 I wanna stay outside I wanna stay outside
 No more chains
 Cuz life's so crazy I said this life's so crazy
 I wanna stay outside I wanna stay outside
 No more chains
 Cuz life's so crazy I said this life's so crazy
 Out once again from those walls don't wanna go back
 Breathin' free air on the calle and he knows that
 It might not last cuz it's hard to go the right way
 Reaching for the past with homies and you might say
 He's just reminscin' how they nevuh did listen
 In and out reform schools and juvenile detention
 Banging colors on the scene a skinny ass youngsta
 Taggin' up the thirteen and crossin' out the other number
 Deep in his heart he was destined for the lock up
 Getting drunk as fuck and pulling cuetes spray the block up
 From the county to the pinta and sometimes he's feeling trapped
 But accepts that it's his vida writing verses on a rap
 Bout how it all started drinkin' forties at the projects
 Twelve years old and just another gang prospect
 Never thinking twice about a consequence or reason
 Now it's just his celly and the little box he sleeps in
 I wanna stay outside I wanna stay outside
 No more chains
 Cuz life's so crazy I said this life's so crazy
 I wanna stay outside I wanna stay outside
 No more chains
 Cuz life's so crazy I said this life's so crazy
 To hell with the P-O to hell with the judge
 And fuck the D-A cuz you know there ain't no love
 The path that I took and the way I chose to live
 Is the same most of my homies went and took when we were kids
 But what can I do but keep on rolling with the punches
 Steady smashing through and always knowing that once this
 Life comes to an end I tried my best to do a good thing
 And not an early death with all the drama that the hood brings
 Wish I could go back to when those times were brand new
 But now they've gotten old skipping records playing "You"
 I hold on to all these memories and always remembering
 Sometimes I had everything at times didn't have anything
 It just ain't the same teardrops in the rain
 It might mask my sorrow but it can't mask my pain
 "I'm never going back" be the words of a past thought
 Tiempo is a fact pushing foward to the last stop
 I wanna stay outside I wanna stay outside
 No more chains
 Cuz life's so crazy I said this life's so crazy
 I wanna stay outside I wanna stay outside
 No more chains
 Cuz life's so crazy I said this life's so crazy
