Though I've lasted through the battle
Got no wounds in my chest
No bullet in my back
No, it ain’t happened yet
I'm not acting like no casualty
Stripped of all my best
I'm left here with a choice to make
I choose to let it rest
Don’t have anything nice to say
Was a good time once, but things do change
Sooner or later, you were bound to lose the race
Now you ain't got me
You ain't got me
You ain't got me
I wanna stay free
I wanna stay free
You ain't got me
Through each calculated move you'd make
The punishment was stiff
You'd bet on losin' everything
For one last night of sin
But I ain’t hangin’ round to see
Exactly what you do
I've seen it all before
You only really have one move
Tired of looking the other way
Don’t wanna hear what you have to say
All us children gotta learn to play the game
Now you ain't got me
You ain't got me
You ain't got me
I wanna stay free
I wanna stay free
You ain’t got me
Ain't got, ain't got time to figure it out
Got to get out, get out of this city
Movin' at a dead stop was all the love that we had
And the times that we shared, such a pity
Don't have anything nice to say
Was a good time once, but things do change
Sooner or later, you were bound to lose the race
Now you ain't got me
You ain't got me
You ain't got me
I wanna stay free
I wanna stay free
You ain't got me
Now you ain't got me
You ain't got me
You ain't got me
I wanna stay free
I wanna stay free
You ain't got me
