I should of seen it coming   Ain't no way out   I can't live it down   I'm all caught up in this game called rap      Let's see now   I began back in eighty-eight   The Osbourne days      (?)   Beat boxin'   Now I'm gettin' paid      It's more critical   The shit is gettin' life threatenin'   I can't calm my nerves   Without talkin' to Smith and Wesson      These trauma's of life   Leave me stuck in the daze   Am I the outbreed   Just because my mind state      Take on the big leagues   I'm dealin' with these headhunta's   Don't give a damn of where you come from   Or where you goin', sucka      So I'll work the grave shift   To keep my head on tight   Stayin' out of sight   And dodgin' all these would-be fights      From these jealous ol' fools   Who ain't got much to live for   Take me out   They got life, without parole      And I'm dead and gone   Six feet, with nothing in hand   Just the outbreed   Back from the dead, man      No way out   Life and death   Situations occur everyday   My mind's a blur      My whole life's a bad set-up   Nothing to let up, so I'm on my way   I stop and think   Who's going to stereo type today      I roam the streets so many times   That I call it my home   I chill with thugs and hoods   Never seen alone      I gotta do what I gotta do   Fearin' no stranger   Label me danger   Packin' no thing with an empty trigger finger      Now you can label me the outbreed   My mind speaks the ghetto 'til I die   So, who's next, please      Holdin' my own   So come and try me   I can't lose   Leathal inject of rap skills infect you      This ain't no front   Never leavin' from the hood that I came   It's all good, icein' it up   Rackin' my brain      The master plan is gettin' paid   That's what you think   It ain't that easy   But the thought does tickle me pink      My mind's the puzzle of a time bomb   Kinda clever   Stressin' me out over nothin'   Come on, let's put it together      Detroit is the city   Where my roots will always bleed   Keepin' my distance from you sucka's   Call me the outbreed      No way out   Life and death   Situations occur everyday   My mind's a blur      Somebody spark up the incense   My nerves are shot   From dealin' with these attitudes   Everyday is hard to live   So tell me what I'm suppose to do      Survivin' the game   It's simple and plain   I grew up on the darkside   The eastside of D-town   Portrait of the high time      Where crime is a common   Everyday factor   Smoke from the barrel   Like a nuclear reactor      You gotta go with the flow   Or you'll drown in the way   That's all my pops   Bed of roses on his early grave      Can you save   The intercity used from destruction   The violence and crime rate   It just an introduction      Future's dim for the outbreed   It sees no color, no fate   It's invisible as the air we breathe      You think you're innocent   Your ways are untouched   Born with mortal sin   And you think that that's enough      Trying to find the key to your heart   To unleash the love and trust   And make us start      At the good life   But is there something good in life   Problems of the world   Fingerin' my mind at night      Wrong or right   I give and take whatever I need   Nothing to lose   I guess I'm just the outbreed      No way out   Life and death   Situations occur everyday   My mind's a blur
