Lyrics
#9003
DON'T RECALL HOW MANY TIMES MAMA TOLD ME
GO TO SCHOOL AND LEARN WHAT THEY TEACH
BUT MOSTLY I LEARNED THE THINGS I WANTED
WERE ALWAYS JUST BEYOND MY REACH
MAMA SAID, NO SMOKING DRINKING OR DRUGS
DON'T WANT NO GUNS IN OUR HOME
SHE'D SAY, DON'T GO MESSING WITH YOUR FUTURE, BOY
I SAID MAMA, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE
NOW I'M INSIDE THESE GREY WALLS LOOKING OUT
AND FREEDOMS TO FAR AWAY TO SEE
WITH A GUN IN MY HAND I TOOK THE LIFE FROM THAT MAN
AND NOW I'M JUST # 9OO3
SPENT MY YOUTH LOOKING INTO PLACES
THAT I KNEW I NEVER WOULD BE
NOW I'M SIT HERE IN THIS CELL EVERYDAY A LIVING HELL
THEY LOCKED ME UP AND THREW AWAY THE KEY
HEY, I-M INSIDE THESE GREY WALLS LOOKING OUT
AND FREEDOMS TO FAR AWAY TO SEE
WITH A GUN IN MY HAND I TOOK THE LIFE FROM THAT MAN
AND NOW I'M JUST # 9OO3
GUESS THERE JUST AIN?T NO USE IN CRYING
AND NOW THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY OUT
I?LL NEVER GONNA LEAVE THESE OLD GREY WALLS ALIVE
I GOT WHAT'S COMING TO ME NO DOUBT
I'M INSIDE THESE OLD GREY WALLS LOOKING OUT
AND FREEDOMS TO FAR AWAY TO SEE
WITH A GUN IN MY HAND I TOOK THE LIFE FROM THAT MAN
NOW I'M JUST # 9OO3
