12 years old, I killed a boy

To become a man

16, the street is all I′ve knownSince 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
