Don't know just how long but I've
Been trapped in here quite a while
Wonder if I'll make it out, ahh, ahh
I miss my friends, I miss the sky
Feel like I just live to die
But that can't be what life's about, ah, ah
I think they just lock me up to taunt me (taut me)
I won't ever let nobody own me, own me
I don't let these thoughts of freedom haunt me (haunt me)
What you gon' do when they learn the truth?
Feel like I just can't take it no more
That's when I start runnin'
Lies the key that'll open the door
That's what happens when you let a bunch of wild animals out the cage
Think our biggest problem is
It all gets so monotonous
Holding us all hostages, ah, ah
Weighin' down on top of us
Draining all our confidence
But I won't stay anonymous, ah, ah
I think they just lock me up to taunt me (taut me)
I won't ever let nobody own me, own me
I don't let these thoughts of freedom haunt me (haunt me)
What you gon' do when they learn the truth?
Feel like I just can't take it no more
That's when I start runnin'
Lies the key that'll open the door
Let me out this cage, I've been here way too long, way too long
Planning my escape, I see the break of dawn
What you gon' do when they learn the truth?
Feel like I just can't take it no more
That's when I start runnin'
Lies the key that'll open the door
You can't break me (you can't break me)
Feel like I just can't take it no more (oh, oh)
I get angry (I get angry)
That's when I start runnin' (ah)
In my mind's eye (in my mind's eye)
Lies the key that'll open the door
You can't break me (you can't break me)
That's what happens when you let a bunch of wild animals out the cage
