Let Me Out
12 years old, I killed a boy
To become a man
16, the street is all I've known
Since I can't remember when
Can I find peace
In this hell I'm in?
Can I find peace
In this hell I'm in?
18 to life, my momma cried
When they threw me in the pen
My father said you ain't my son
Don't you ever come round again
Can I find peace
From this hell I'm in?
Can I find peace
In this hell I'm in?
Breaking down the walls around me
And it feels like it's never-ending
I did my time (I did my time)
I gave my life (I gave my life)
Why won't you let me out, let me out?
Let me out, let me out
God has long forgotten me
My concrete colored path
A view through bars at withered dreams
Are all I'll ever have
Can I find peace
From this hell I'm in?
Can I find peace?
Breaking down the walls around me
And it feels like it's never-ending
I did my time (I did my time)
I gave my life (I gave my life)
Why won't you let me out, let me out?
Let me out, let me out
All I need is one
A day with chains undone
To feel the wind and run
To feel the warmth of the sun
Breaking down the walls around me
And it feels like it's never-ending
I did my time (I did my time)
I gave my life (I gave my life)
Why won't you let me out, let me out?
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
To become a man
16, the street is all I've known
Since I can't remember when
Can I find peace
In this hell I'm in?
Can I find peace
In this hell I'm in?
18 to life, my momma cried
When they threw me in the pen
My father said you ain't my son
Don't you ever come round again
Can I find peace
From this hell I'm in?
Can I find peace
In this hell I'm in?
Breaking down the walls around me
And it feels like it's never-ending
I did my time (I did my time)
I gave my life (I gave my life)
Why won't you let me out, let me out?
Let me out, let me out
God has long forgotten me
My concrete colored path
A view through bars at withered dreams
Are all I'll ever have
Can I find peace
From this hell I'm in?
Can I find peace?
Breaking down the walls around me
And it feels like it's never-ending
I did my time (I did my time)
I gave my life (I gave my life)
Why won't you let me out, let me out?
Let me out, let me out
All I need is one
A day with chains undone
To feel the wind and run
To feel the warmth of the sun
Breaking down the walls around me
And it feels like it's never-ending
I did my time (I did my time)
I gave my life (I gave my life)
Why won't you let me out, let me out?
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
