[B-Real] I was an outcast, outsider, Troublemaker, A lost soul, outta control, In danger Didn't have a care in the world My feelings were numb Never showing emotion Is easy for some I don't know how it happened, How I got to this point But I needed a way out I was stuck in the void, I needed another path or I'd self-destruct, I was down on my luck My head was so f*cked A menace rollin' the streets is what I was Holdin' my heat and rollin' with the serious thugs You couldn't tell me a thing, I was like my brother, Words went in one ear and out the other, Slangin' and bangin' With a chip on my shoulder An insane, hit the brain, Certified street soldier So close to the grave At an early age, Can't tell you the price I've paid [Mike Shinoda - Chorus] Oh the sky overhead's Like a canvas of grey I don't know how much time, I'll be given to stay From the first break of light Till the end of the day I'm just livin' my life Till they come carry me away [Sen Dog] I remember the late nights On the block where I came up My pops used to hate When we'd hang with them bangers Dissin' you, one day that we'll become us That's just how it is when you live where we come from "Fight, don't run" Is the motto we live by Get 'em on the gun And stomp a mind about ten times Sure, we was just kids back then I had no remorse for what we did back then Six of us, one call, we'd all pack in Hit the strip, and go and get the sh*t crack in Gun wars, and drug deals, I seen 'em happen When I started losin' home boys I wasn't laughin' I looked all around and seen, None of 'em there That's when I figured out, That nobody cared If we live or die, We'll just get high and ride, And I wasn't gonna let this happen one more time [Mike Shinoda - Chorus] Oh the sky overhead's Like a canvas of grey I don't know how much time, I'll be given to stay From the first break of light Till the end of the day I'm just livin' my life Till they come carry me away [B-Real] My mother was there for me Every step of the way She didn't judge me, She told me I'd win some day When I was at my lowest, When I had no focus She pulled me out the gutter, Said I wasn't hopeless, Every night she prayed for me I was out on the street Chillin' on the corner with the hand on my heat Eyes open wide for the pigs and foes It's an everyday hazard when you hustle for dough So many nights I didn't come home, She thought the worst Maybe somebody shot me down Without any remorse, Maybe I hurt somebody and I was stuck in a cell And I regret all those times that I put her through hell When I reflect back on those days, my heart aches And everybody I lost or let down, I wish I could take it all back And make it better but I can't, So I try to make amends And be there through thick and thin [Mike Shinoda - Chorus] Oh the sky overhead's Like a canvas of grey I don't know how much time, I'll be given to stay From the first break of light Till the end of the day I'm just livin' my life Till they come carry me away Come carry me away Come carry me away Come carry me away Come carry me away [End] Oh the sky overhead's like a canvas of gray I don't know how much time I'll be given to stay From the first break of light 'til the end of the day I'm just livin' my life 'til they come carry me away Come carry me away, come carry me away Come carry me away, come carry me away
