Kawann Shockley - The Return lyrics

You ever been faced with a life changing dilemma? Well I have. You know life sometimes throws you a curveball but it's up to you to make the best of it. Let's go! Verse 1: Fresh off the military mission My ambition to serve Uncle Sam, listen I can't live in a society of crime You look and find you'll find no one fiery as I am About the prospect of cleanin' the block yes You signin' up next to be in a team with the cops guess [?] your guess was the war vet with a pure rep Check it, this ain't even for [?] This more or less for the poor and less fortunate Tormented by the drug lord and his cornermen They slaughter innocent youths with they drive-bys And poor women, either they shoot or they rob, why? ‘cause the witness is intimidated And some cops are corrupt You know what? Better you didn't say it But I don't care, any gang I can infiltrate it But what happens when you find your boys are the biggest gangstas? Hook: I gots to run away I need to run away I gots to run away I need to, this is the re- I gots to run away I need to run away I gots to run away I need to, this is the return Verse 2: What a catch-22? If I asked one of you What would you do if you was in my shoes? Tell the truth If it was one of your boys And you're the one that's employed By the state, would you say That you don't want it no more? Well this is worse, cats that you knew as a adolescent Who had your back when other cats came at your neck and They at the family events and everything Christmas, Thanksgiving and wedding days And every way when you needed them they came through But the same dudes who brang food they slang too You know exactly what they doin' and it ain't cool They're a shameful gang who would even bang schools Taking the lives of angels For a few lame j**els and it's painful Got a decision to make and it's hard But you can't do nothin' so will this plot change you? Now you wanna Hook: I gots to run away I need to run away I gots to run away I need to, this is the re- I gots to run away I need to run away I gots to run away I need to, this is the return Verse 3: Moment of truth but I don't know what I'm goin' to do Should I let the day guide me? I'm hopin' it do As I put on my boots, socks and my shirt This order is awkward off ‘cause I'm nervous Stain in my sweats with this drank that I kept Spillin' brilliant I gotta change it again Tryna look appalled when really I am stallin' ‘cause I know the day's not something I can augment Thoughts in my skull just brawlin' I'm walkin' to the destination, I'm ‘bout to come upon them I soon saw them, one of them was callin' Some dude crossing the street, now they arguin' I start joggin', I'm tryna get nearer My homeboy pulls out what looks like a mirror It's not a mirror, it's a chrome gun I got my own gun, will I stop him or will it owe one? Hook: I gots to run away I need to run away I gots to run away I need to, this is the re- I gots to run away I need to run away I gots to run away I need to, this is the return This is the return This is the return
