Life is a test, I can press or relax
That's why I left and I never looked back
They're all depressed, in a cell or a trap
That's why I left and I never looked back
Only the best get ahead of the pack
That's why I left and I never looked back
I know I'm fresh with incredible raps
That's why I left and I never looked back


I'm rollin' in my grandmother's cadillac
Don't worry old man. I've got plans for your habitat
I'm burnin' blunts in your back yard
We act hard, but ain't about shit
Little kids in some fast cars
Got rap bars
Never fucked with the Xanax
Can't relax, I don't trust how your man acts
I've been in trap houses with uzis pointed at the dome
Straight out of a movie
Please remove me from the catacombs
And the wish was granted, but listen damnit
That doesn't mean I didn't overcome a disadvantage
From the gifted program into alternative school
Sittin' next to dude who's runnin' jewels and murderin' fools
And now there's workin' to do if you wanna raise the bar up
Your not makin' friends when you're actin star struck
Don't know where to turn. All my friends are on that hard stuff
Livin on adrenaline pretending that they aren't stuck
But they're lying to themselves
Its a vicious cycle yo, they buy it 'cause it sells
Small town mentality divided into cells
Calm down, don't shout at me
I'm trying not to yell, but
I can't help but rebel against this dump he chose to raise me in
Feeling like Del, I'm just a funky homosapien
School is like a cell, they try to punk me but it makes me grin
You'll never break me bitch, punch me in the face again
No disrespect to the city that spawned me
But half the town is tightly in the grips of the army
And its really alarming: all the violence and ignorance
Shouts to all the ones that try to put an end to it
Fuck your censorship and schools of false history
But I'll be foolish if I do let y'all get to me
Instead I'll quickly flee to a center of culture
You keep feeding on those carcasses and kick it with vultures
I'm out
