Out of the black (out of the black) Into the blue (into the blue) Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind I want to get off but I keep riding the ride I never really notice that I had to decide To play someone's game or to live my own life and

There were times we had it all It doesn't make any sense To know what it's like I guess you gotta go through it It doesn't matter baby But somebody's gotta do it You're never gonna see it There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen To the pounding,

I come from the 'partments it was bad Ramen noodles, cup of water all we had It's like you gon' eat or you gon' starve Either you gon' hustle or you rob Never had no hoop dreams, but I always wanted to ball Ever since a jit I knew I was gon' be rich But

Hard days, cold nights Staring down at an empty cup like I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up All day, all night Ten feet down nearly my whole life But I'll be rising, rising up We all want what we never had The good life doesn't seem so bad The good life doesn't

Feel like shovel with dirt thrown side of my name I was so blind, I just couldn't see the hate Forgave all them niggas, I'm still Ray Would have never started rappin' if I knew this shit had came with this Runnin' millions until my legs out Wheelchair

And well, I think I've gone mad Isn't that so sad? And what a shame you've lost a brain that you never had Oh mum check the car it can’t have gone far I must have left it on a train or lost in a bar It’s likely in a Sainsbury’s Flirting with the girls

Always knew it would, never had it so good Now my time's arrived, and I'm glad I'm alive I feel like a love today, and it won't fade away In my heart, I know it's right One thing I know for certain Falling in love, caught up with me at last I can't tell

Please forgive this platitude But I like your attitude You are just the kind I've had in mind Never could find Honey, I'm so keen on you I could come to lean on you On a random bay, give you your way Do what you say Gee, it's all fine and dandy

I gotta make you see You tell me that you're leaving And I'm trying to understand I had myself believing I could take it like a man But if you gotta go, then you gotta know That it's killing me And all the things I never seem to show Girl it's been so

'Cause I'mma love you anyway Lemme get it like If you show me all your flaws, I'll show you mine I'll claim your baggage, no longer need to hide I know you probably never had somebody Loving you like I do, someone that's there for you Don't judge ya
