A Way Out (beat: Eminem - Cleanin' Out My Closet)

verse 1:
i ain't rhymin' to impress
i'm different from the rest
i'm just here to express
and confess
what's been hangin' on my chest

see everytime I write a rhyme
or come up with a verse
a place deep inside of me
feels beter more than it hurts

it gets worse
i can't explain this sh*t till i feel it first
and it hurts
to live my life when i'm surrounded by jerks
it's a curse
to walk around questioning my own self worth
i better figure something out before i end up in a hearse

all i've got
is optimism as my sole entertainer
wish i could put a stop
to all of this damaging behavior
wish i had a savior
but i don't believe in a god
wish i had a way out
but the exit's just too far

chorus:
there is a way,
a way, a way out now,
there is a way,
a way, a way out now,
i found a way,
a way, a way out now,
i found a way,
a way, a way out now,

verse 2:
now, what do you believe in?
if not in god then what?
your life's an aimless high speed chase
get out the car and give up

but i've
come to far to concede
this yearning burning inside of me
to follow what i believe
find everything that i need

but it seems the more that i speed
the farther away it seems
one day i'm living my dreams
but the next i don't got a thing

please tell me what does it mean
some say it's just destiny
but tell me why can't it be
everything i want it to be?

now something inside tells me
to stop
take a step back and breathe
so i can see through all the lies and deceit
jealousy
hypocrisy, envy, and hatred run free
i've gotta find a way to stop it before it swallows me
i must believe

chorus

now what am i to do with
what's coming out of my mouth?
these thoughts i wrote down on paper
so that i could spit them out?

without a doubt
it don't matter how long i scream and i shout
without action
i might as well just take three strikes and be out

but that's not allowed
cause i won't let it happen to me
can't you see
there's more to life than just letting things be?

i must aspire to be the man
that i see in my dreams
and believe that when this earth i leave
that man will be me

believing's what it's about
you may not agree with me now
but just wait until the day
your life comes tumbling down

then you'll realize the key
is making every moment count
and you'll see what life's meant to be
when i find the way out

chorus x2

over last two lines of last chorus:
i wouldn't be ready if you said i'd die today
i've got to keep on living till i can find a way
