R-Mean Exit Lyrics

It's the only way I know to let go...
This is the only way I know

[1]
Sittin in this mental prison
Convicted of bein blatant as Satan
Innocent incarceration man I'm patiently waitin
As I'm tastin the bitter truth, I vomit from disgust
My slang and this rhythm fuels
You can call it what you want
No break and no interludes, movin on until erupts
Some angels come introduce
And all of it just stops and changin
Just try followin my heart
A child learns from observation
But his role models on the block
He's sellin drug she's sellin her body both sellin their soul
Sun is shining, tell me why this planet is cold
Shiverin soul, a warm heart effaced
Stereotypic thinking evolves into hate, I wait
This stress, pressure and weight
Makes ? to this confusin
And I'm coughin
The kids is forced to do what others kids is doin
As usual, its insecurity diluting and polluting their purity
I'm patient and ain't nobody curin me
The terminal illness of life
My own physician my feelings the prescription I write
I feel I'm on standby, sometimes I don't understand why
It's takin so long waitin for the break of the dawn

[chorus]
Cause when you can't even rely on your friendships
And you really just wanna cry, this is senseless
You keep your feelings inside it gets hectic
When all your really wanna find is an exit
Cause when I'm really feelin tired and neglected
I keep my feelings inside it gets hectic
That's when my heart starts cryin through the pen's tip
It's the only way I'll be findin my exit

[2]
Like a manic-depressive switchin emotional lanes
Trainin my thought always remains
Open to change, they say
Honestly we'll go the longest of ways
But honestly, I don't agree
I know what I'm saying
Cause in time I can see the lies slowly invade
Our parades and walk along while they poison our brains
It's a game
There ain't no other choice but to play
So I paint you a perfect picture closin the frame
So you can decorate the walls in your brain
You actually feel what I'm writin like Braille
And I hope you relate
I been ignoring my heart
But listen close to a dame
I never swallow my pride it has a horrible taste
A melting pot of different nations this globe has embraced
a__imilate but keep the values that my culture creates
Where's my home? Confusion
Babylon is that place where the flames
Are in the forms of demons, vultures and snakes
It feels like a disease with a virus
No one can trace it
Just a nightmare, pinchin myself
Hoping it's fake, still I don't wanna give it up
Like a horrible date
But they closing the gate, trapped, with no way to escape

[chorus]

[3]
Would you become a desperado out of desperation
Don't wanna see tomorrow but a second day come
Either way you breakin down through mental degredation
Imprisoned in my own physical f___ man
There's no escaping
Cause Satan's testing my patience, he's lovin this s___
His greatest trick was convince us he doesn't exist
As he sips another one of his drinks
And grubbin on chips, he watches
How he caused us to walk with a limp
This is my puzzle, I'm missin like all of his links
The key to success been already swallowed,
Reach for my freedom I risk it
I don't make sense to this kid
So this pen's what I was left with
Cause life's a b____ and there's tension
Just accept it
It's like she's a female friend that I done slept with
I got tempted, initiated a French kiss
From there controlled, dissolved into her liquids
We're Armenes, we just neglect the unexpected
Until it's too late, we regret and get affected
So when kids lose it at school and let the tech spit
All they was really lookin for was an exit

[chorus]
