I`m checking out
I`m never coming back again
I`m checking out
I`m listed M.I.A.
God damn it man, I almost had it
Stuck in the sewer beneath all the maggots
I aint fooling, I`ve been pursuing
A way to get out of these dirty old ruins
God damn it man, I almost had it
They threw me at the door, they`re calling me a faggot
I aint done, only yet begun
West Oakland is the place where I`m coming from
God damn it man, I almost had it
Well I did it again, yeah I do it out of habit
Well I`m numb, it aint no fun
I`m less than zero when you add up the sum
I`m checking out, yea, it aint 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
