god damn it man I almost had it

stuck in the sewer beneath all the maggots

I ain't foolin' I've been pursuing

a way to get out of these dirty old ruins

I'm checkin' out I'm never comin' back again

I'm checkin' out I'm listed M.I.A.

god damn it man I almost had it

threw me out the door and called me a faggot

I ain't done I've only yet begun

West Oakland is the place where I'm comin' from

I'm checkin' out I'm never comin' back again

I'm checkin' out I'm listed M.I.A.

god damn it man I almost had it

well I did it again yeah I do it outta habit

well I'm numb it ain't no fun

I'm less than zero when you add up the sum

I'm checkin' out yeah it ain't no doubt yea

a courtship built from anger is what it amounts

I almost had it i almost had it I came so close man I almost had it

I'm checkin' out I'm never comin' back again

I'm checkin' out I'm listed M.I.A.
