Lyrics

His parents parted before he had his first memory
just another mistake
He was raised in a dark apartments fifth story
above this urban landscape

No direction from dad he lived the posh lifestyle
the other side of the tracks
His mama gave what she could but she was slowly
slipping through the cracks

I don't care if the sun ever shines upon me
I don't care if the rain's pouring down
I don't care 'cause the stars in the sky they want me
get me out
I'll get me out of here
I'll get me out of here

Busted down by the docks it was an armed robbery
it was his third offense
placed the call to his dad but got his wife's snobbery
doesn't make any sense

CHORUS

this wasn't how it was meant to be
a heart and mind that disagree

CHORUS
