Trade your life
Stop foolin' around and make it right
Tomorrow, new day
Don't look back make a get-a-way
I don't know where you come from
But I've been where you've been
And let me tell you my brutha
You're headed for the deep end
You've been kicked out, barred out
Buttered up and now put down
You've been shook up, locked up
Messed up in a rut
Trade your life
Stop foolin' around and make it right
Tomorrow, new day
Don't look back make a get-a-way
You've been let down, heart broke
Bloodied up with your neck choked
You've been pushed out, tuned out
Time for you to just get out
You've been lied to, that's true
The world out there will destroy you
The world out there will destroy you
The world out there will destroy you
Stop foolin' around and make it right
Tomorrow, new day
Don't look back, make a get-a-way
You spun a lie, a tangled web of untruth
Then you try to come home and you're all alone
Beat up, broken, and bruised
Look up my child and shed your tears
Your life has been a disgrace
But you're still alive and not denied
The blood has taken your place
Trade your life
Stop foolin' around and make it right
Tomorrow, new day
Don't look back, make a get-a-way
I don't know where you come from
But I've been where you've been
And let me tell you my brutha
Your'e headed for the deep end
Stop foolin' around and make it right
Tomorrow, new day
Don't look back, make a get-a-way
You've been kicked out, barred out
Buttered up and now put down
You've been shook up, locked up
Messed up in a rut
Trade your life
