[Verse 1: JusThoughtZ] I was once told life is like a jungle So why am I surprised when I stumble? Humble conditions had me wishin' I livin' was in another zone When I got a call that my brother wasn't coming home Mobb Deep once me warned of a war Survival of the fittest, divide and conquer the poor They said it was outside and nobody else was safe from it Well mine is inside, I can't get away from it It seems like I'm living in a gla** house Cast stones and expect me not to lash out? If I don't receive love, what do I pa** out? World got me in a choke hold, I'm bout to blackout Things are heated, race is a hot topic Is history repeating itself when we're not watching? We're living in these dark times looking for a brighter day I look at the sky and wish I would fly [Hook: Soulfruit] Fly away Somewhere I belong Cuz there's no time or place That I feel at home I may here but my heart's already gone [Verse 2: JusThoughtZ] I'm looking at the paper, a man gone over rolling papers
Another sent home by immigration Leaving home's a wager, and yet I can survive of my wages Lord knows what I'd do for an Oasis Definitely maybe, the government ain't gonna be the one Thats gonna save me, at least I was told that So here I am caving, face to pavement For liberties I'm craving, that might have my soul trapped I need a**istance, who can I run to? When it all falls down, whose gonna come through? I'm double-educated although I left school Where can I find life in a land where d**h rules? Hands up to the sky reaching for Jah Hoping He gives me courage when I see a baton Seeing beyond the present, gifted towards a brighter day I look at the sky and wish I would fly [Hook] [Bridge: Soulfruit] Even thought its dark out I know that I'm lookin' towards a brighter day And when that day comes I won't be afraid to arise and fly away And when that day comes I won't be afraid to rise and fly away
