I should of seen it coming Ain't no way out I can't live it down I'm all caught up in this game called rap Let's see now I began back in eighty-eight The Osbourne days (?) Beat boxin' Now I'm gettin' paid It's more critical The sh** is gettin' life threatenin' I can't calm my nerves Without talkin' to Smith and Wesson These trauma's of life Leave me stuck in the daze Am I the outbreed Just because my mind state Take on the big leagues I'm dealin' with these headhunta's Don't give a damn of where you come from Or where you goin', s**a So I'll work the grave shift To keep my head on tight Stayin' out of sight And dodgin' all these would-be fights From these jealous ol' fools Who ain't got much to live for Take me out They got life, without parole And I'm dead and gone Six feet, with nothing in hand Just the outbreed Back from the dead, man No way out Life and d**h Situations occur everyday My mind's a blur My whole life's a bad set-up Nothing to let up, so I'm on my way I stop and think Who's going to stereo type today I roam the streets so many times That I call it my home I chill with thugs and hoods Never seen alone I gotta do what I gotta do Fearin' no stranger Label me danger Packin' no thing with an empty trigger finger Now you can label me the outbreed My mind speaks the ghetto 'til I die So, who's next, please Holdin' my own So come and try me I can't lose Leathal inject of rap sk**s infect you This ain't no front Never leavin' from the hood that I came It's all good, icein' it up
Rackin' my brain The master plan is gettin' paid That's what you think It ain't that easy But the thought does tickle me pink My mind's the puzzle of a time bomb Kinda clever Stressin' me out over nothin' Come on, let's put it together Detroit is the city Where my roots will always bleed Keepin' my distance from you s**a's Call me the outbreed No way out Life and d**h Situations occur everyday My mind's a blur Somebody spark up the incense My nerves are shot From dealin' with these attitudes Everyday is hard to live So tell me what I'm suppose to do Survivin' the game It's simple and plain I grew up on the darkside The eastside of D-town Portrait of the high time Where crime is a common Everyday factor Smoke from the barrel Like a nuclear reactor You gotta go with the flow Or you'll drown in the way That's all my pops Bed of roses on his early grave Can you save The intercity used from destruction The violence and crime rate It just an introduction Future's dim for the outbreed It sees no color, no fate It's invisible as the air we breathe You think you're innocent Your ways are untouched Born with mortal sin And you think that that's enough Trying to find the key to your heart To unleash the love and trust And make us start At the good life But is there something good in life Problems of the world Fingerin' my mind at night Wrong or right I give and take whatever I need Nothing to lose I guess I'm just the outbreed No way out Life and d**h Situations occur everyday My mind's a blur
