[Verse] Born in the alley raised by the storm He learned fast survival kept him warm Traded paper now he's slingin' white Dodging shadows in the pale moonlight [Prechorus] Sirens wailin' no place to run His freedom faded before the sun [Chorus] Locked in a cage he did his time Lost in rage a broken rhyme Walked out a changed man they all say God had a plan took it away [Verse 2] Met a woman sunshine in her hair Built a life together showed him care Then the darkness stole her in the night Left him screamin' at the fading light [Bridge] Cursed the heavens shook his fist Said God was a liar a cruel sad twist Ready to fold give up the fight Lost in darkness without a light [Chorus] Locked in a cage he did his time Lost in rage a broken rhyme Walked out a changed man they all say God had a plan took it away
