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
