We are providers, really all he was trying to do
But it ain't that easy when there's a meeting, you ain't got no food
On the table during meals, man, he need a dollar bill
Stick him up, stick him up, he go out and rob a still
Looking for new ways to get paid every day
Failed victim to the system, he do his freedom away
For the cake, never thought he'd be caught up in the rapture
Like I need a break, looking back at it
Things he would do for a clean slate
Walk away while you can, the money is quicksand
You get free of mind, it's all part of the plan
Come on
Don't stop, don't wait, it wasn't me
It's supposed to be
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Ooh, you got no one else to blame
Ooh, the money that I promised wasn't paying to see
Ooh, you got no one else to blame
Put her life on the line every day
Trying to make her wait for her family
Selling her body, hoping that one day
They could see a better place
Even though she knew that what she was doing wasn't safe
It didn't matter
Dealing with a pimp that would be the one
She was slapping double pain
That you couldn't even fathom
By looking at her, she had a heart of gold
Years later down the road
She came down with something worse than your common cold
She was never told
Walk away while you can, the money is quicksand
You get free of mind, it's all part of the plan
Come on
Ooh, it's not the way
No, it's not the way it was supposed to be
Ooh, got no one else to blame
No one else to blame
Ooh, it's not the way
The money that it promised was a fantasy
Ooh, you can always walk free
All your hopes led you to wonderland
Only to find your life on the street
Take the straight narrow road
Be strong, don't let go
Don't let anyone trample your dreams
You can always
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
You can just walk away
Oh, walk away
Oh, walk away
Just walk away
You know it's not the way it was supposed to be
It's not supposed to be this way, no
You got no one else to blame
You can always walk away
Hey, yeah
Tell you that if I was just a fantasy
Fantasy
You can always walk away
In the morning time, things will be fine
Gotta feel your mind break
Free of the bonds and chains that have you gone
Ooh, you can't, you can always walk away
You can always walk away
Cause God shed his mercy
Life's water to thirsty
Make you wait in my home
That'll tell me you heard it
Ooh, you can always walk away
Let's go
Ooh, you can just walk away
It's not the way it was supposed to be
You can just walk away
You got no one else to blame
You got no one else to blame
The money that I promised was a fantasy
Hey, yeah
You can always walk away
You can always walk away
