"A Way Out" lyrics

[Crypt:]
I'm just looking for a way out
It seems like everything's been played out
It feels like nothing is the same now
They're lying to you it's a shame how
We all want it, but I'm looking for a way out
It seems like everything's been played out
It feels like nothing is the same now
They're lying to you it's a shame how
We all want it, but I'm looking for a way out

I've been chasing this dream of seeing my name in lights
But it ain't what it seems, feels like I've been blindsided
I just want to make music, want to put out my thoughts
Want to express myself, they want me to be something I'm not
I've spent so long thinking about this life that I've envisioned
This perfect picture that I've painted been tainted by ill intentions
No one tells you when your name's in the lights, they'll get to switching
Tryna shut it off, unless you hook 'em up with some tickets
Or spot 'em a couple bucks, or shout 'em out in some mentions
Like we ain't grow up together, you've known me since we were kids
You acting like I just snapped my fingers and made it to this position
Forgetting all of those things that I missed on my expedition
All those sacrifices that I made get pushed to the side
All they see is me on a poster, a show in the lights
I use to think my problems could be fixed by holding a mic
But I'm held hostage to what I thought this life would be like

I'm just looking for a way out
It seems like everything's been played out
It feels like nothing is the same now
They're lying to you it's a shame how
We all want it, but I'm looking for a way out
It seems like everything's been played out
It feels like nothing is the same now
They're lying to you it's a shame how
We all want it, but I'm looking for a way out

[The Real Young Swagg:]
Stuck inside this industry full of lies
With evil on every side, ain't even trying to hide
So much pressure to create from people that probably hating
They don't even really know that I'm right on the verge of breaking
What a shame, I remember days they ain't even know my name
Got a few views and everyone started changing, started saying I'm famous
But I just think it's funny, 'cause I know I'm the same kid, woah
In the beginning, yeah, I didn't even notice it
I was so ignorant, but now I'm really focused in
I started growing the seed of colors they showing
Bet you wish I suffocate in all the smoke that you blowing, but that won't happen
I can't run a car if you putting fake gas in
All they really want is a mention in the caption
Music, yeah, it's my passion
Thought this was my dream but now that I have it

[Crypt:]
I'm just looking for a way out
It seems like everything's been played out
It feels like nothing is the same now
They're lying to you it's a shame how
We all want it, but I'm looking for a way out
It seems like everything's been played out
It feels like nothing is the same now
They're lying to you it's a shame how
We all want it, but I'm looking for a way out
