[Verse 1]
I know that you don't know what it means to me
I could never show you everything I think my dreams could be
I have moved into a solid apartment from broken homehood
I remember when I was hardly ever at home alone
Could you come with me, cause I never want to do this all alone
I would always cling to others, see it if you was my brother
Probably not if you another, but they got me through the struggle
To that light and through the tunnel
Though my mother probably couldn't tell you where my brother is
Probably couldn't either, but I'll always have some love for him
Father trying to train himself to be a single mother, sh**
Be needless to say that my family was on some other sh**
Dad just told me keep your head up, always rise above this sh**
So that's what I did until I finally had enough of it
Knew my father knew he spent enough time trying to run from it
Hard to do it right when you never learn was loving is
So I don't say I got out that childhood, I come from it
[Sample hook]
Bad day, looking for a way
Home, looking for the great escape
Gets in his car and drives away
Far from all the things that we are
Bad day, looking for a way
Home, looking for the great escape
Gets in his car and drives away
Far from all the things that we are
[Verse 2]
Every time the future happens, you get some past to reflect on
Running in the firefight with a mask and vest on
Still be dodging bullets if it's the casket they bet on
If I fall, I know my dreams'll be the last thing I set on
I could've stopped - but I know because of pa**ion I kept on
I could've not - but I see more in this rappin' than weapons
And following everyone else under the ma**'s impression
So I make sure I've got a message and attack with incentive
So I'm hoping when I give to the ma**es, they get it
Instead of taking for granted, they start asking the questions
'Steada accepting what they're fed to grab the ma**es attention
They told me hip hop was dead, watch the freshman cla** resurrect it
You would think I was a painter with how graphic my text is
Take an image, give it life - or leave it gasping and breathless
Know it's obvious that fully in this rap I'm invested
Whether I pay my respects and that sh** gets scratched from the checklist

Bad day, looking for a way
Home, looking for the great escape
Gets in his car and drives away
Far from all the things that we are
Bad day, looking for a way
Home, looking for the great escape
Gets in his car and drives away
Far from all the things that we are
