Way Out Lyrics

VERSE 1: Everything that ya'll did we done done before / and the measure ya'll did it in we done done in more / cats didn't just start living grimy / death didn't just start trying to find me / vest didn't just start getting slimy / been in the streets and we know it's real / been in environments where cats done got killed over some drug money / see now it's time to change the mental / brothers is selling their soul over bout ten thou it's going down / we scream Jesus who's the soul Saver / One who experienced pain death resurrect as the price Payer / we need You now cause You're the Way Out / left death and then stayed out / look over life as the layout (the big picture) / for so long afraid to accept what we need / One who would come down except He would bleed--inject His Seed in us / so many issues have been left untouched / so when Jesus left He left it to us and I'm ready to bust //

HOOK: We need a Way Out / take a look and examine the streets / the famine in streets / young cats just be handling heat / don't speak another word on how it's hard / unless you pointing me in the direction of the Lord / we know it's real that's why... //

VERSE 2: I done been through hell and then hell again / most definitely been rejected I just held it in / so now I see what you see plus I feel what you feel / so it goes without saying that what is real is real / I done seen a cat lose his life / I done seen my mom lose her mind / escape death like so many times / I live for Christ now living life is nice now / I live that heavenly lifestyle in my life now / so hard to see through you with the truth cause you telling lies / and I can see to your heart straight through your eyes / that you fronting--drug money is stealing your joy / now you hunting--looking for something to give you some joy / now peep game--call His name and He'll save your soul / watch you grow--slowly let go of struggles before / and it'll show--other brothers will follow your lead as the Holy Ghost / draw you in close and teach you His creeds //

BRIDGE: As I examine the Scriptures / in Lamentations 3:40 it says / to let us search and try our own ways and again turn to the LORD //

VERSE 3: You speak a lot about my area / (been here lately?) it's getting scary and scarier--tryna tear down these barriers / in the midst of this I found Jehovah / I shout now before the storm's over / they all drunk but I remain sober / remain a soldier in this ghetto living / won't say I told ya if you die unforgiven--offered you salvation / this grind we facing dawg is so real / without Jesus dawg it's no shield just open field / don't have to leave so I can find peace / mercy and grace follows behind me / covered by blood keeping my mind eased / I trust God on a daily basis in my ghetto places / till I see better cases off in my ghetto places / I must stay focused on the mark of the prize / Jehovah Shalom is where my faith lies (it's crunch time) / so don't speak about the struggle / you share with us nothing unless you show us how to escape the hustle and end this war zone /

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
