First Day Out

Finally turning around, got my feet on the ground
It's looking up now, it's my first day out

I'ma retrain my brain to be good or get good at it
'Cause I don't want to be just another rock star drug addict
Never make it out alive, I'll find my way to survive
Now I got to learn to live again

Finally turning around, got my feet on the ground
It's looking up now, it's my first day out
My whole life went south, lost my way somehow
But it's looking up now, it's my first day out

Back into the city, though my past is sticking with me, I'm a new man
Why everybody treatin' me like I'm still damaged, now
Although they keep looking through me, though nothing was given to me, I don't need a hand
I know Yah got a special plan for me, I'll manage
Still standin', on God
They locked my brotha in a cage for fifty-leven days
A hero's strength couldn't keep the pain up off my mama's face
It's way too much and not enough until we're face-to-face
I cannot run away
I gotta make a wave

Finally turning around, got my feet on the ground
It's looking up now, it's my first day out
My whole life went south, lost my way somehow
But it's looking up now, it's my first day out

Yeah

Finally turning around, got my feet on the ground
It's looking up now, it's my first day out
My whole life went south, lost my way somehow
But it's looking up now, it's my first day out

It's my first day out
It's my first day out
