Bishop Snow - Freedom

How could I ever run away and never be free
My heart was in the washer but she wanted to keep
Just a piece of it, but I was too involved in the streets
Until I found myself, but now I'm all alone but I'm free
Crying over subjects that I won't discuss, who can I trust?
Deep inside my mind but still I feel concussed
Cussing at the flight attendant, why can't this plane land any sooner
I got things to do, bitches to see, and fuck the rumors
Ain't nobody ever pulled up on me, Is that my ego
Screaming in the back of the bus? My life is just a free throw
Made by Shaq, attacking other Gang Members but for what?
I thought I fell for certain bitches, it was just for lust
Must I tell that I love her first, whats worse?
Falling for a woman? Or end up getting hurt
So I keep my distance, instantly I see on the horizon
My own future, throwing up the Rakes like I'm Poseidon
Realizing that I always had much more potential
Whether scoring with a basketball, or rapping over instrumentals
Drunk on the bike trail, a 40 in my hand
My baby momma told me that I'll never be a man
How could I ever run away and never be free
My heart was in the washer but she wanted to keep
Just a piece of it, but I was too involved in the streets
Until I found myself, but now I'm all alone but I'm free
Reminiscing over past lovers, and I was just a mothafucka
Fucking mothers with kids the same age as me, without rubbers
Busting nuts on tops of sheet, beat the cheeks and skeet
Bringing little caesars hot and readys so she called me cheap
But it never bothered me, now that I'm a father see
I think about the scholarship offers, that I lost and G
It's really kinda sad how I threw it all away
To selling dope rocks and living day to day
Spray painting walls with my hood, I feel like I'm good
But I'm past drunk, and really feel I wish a nigga would
Say something just to press the issue, I could never miss you
With this .38 I kept by my side, the type of shit I'm into
Gets me into trouble, now I'm on probation
The best thing I could do, is keep Satan waiting
If that is my destiny, then I could just get wet and see
The light at the end of the tunnel, if that's what's meant for me
How could I ever run away and never be free
My heart was in the washer but she wanted to keep
Just a piece of it, but I was too involved in the streets
Until I found myself, but now I'm all alone but I'm free
Breaking down factions, interactions with the wrong side
These bitches is on my mind, but death could never cross mine
Feeling like I got some shit to prove, nigga move
If you wanna make something of yourself, pick and choose
How you live ya life, but be careful how you live it
I wanna live suburban with a wife and 2 children
But karma got other plans, I hold inside my hands
A pistol that I killed a nigga with, I reprimand
My own conscience so let's be honest, you wanna tell the truth?
Regretting how you lived, but there nothing you can do
The past is in the past, you have to look ahead
Think of all the homies you lost, your soul dead
In my head I can't think about the negatives I've costed
I thought I found my mind, in reality I lost it
Running out the faucet is my pride, right in time
I let go of my ego and I left a life of crime
How could I ever run away and never be free
My heart was in the washer but she wanted to keep
Just a piece of it, but I was too involved in the streets
Until I found myself, but now I'm all alone but I'm free
