Ain't No Way Around It
Broken Wings and Tampa Nights: Unveiling the Depths of Life's Struggles
Lyrics
My money's gone my tank is empty
Financially broke, out of money, and my fuel is depleted.
This dope-filled life has got the best of me
The drug-infused lifestyle I'm living has overwhelmed me.
Wait this can't be right
Expressing disbelief or denial about the situation.
But it's all written in black & white (black & white)
Confirming that despite disbelief, the situation is confirmed or documented.
I've been looking for the clown
Searching for someone/something responsible for both uplifting and causing downfall.
That's brought me up and dragged me down
Reference to someone who has supported and also caused harm.
I've hocked my life and all my things
Collateralized everything I possess and my life for something.
For a beat up pair of broken wings
Exchanged everything for something worthless or damaged.
That won't fly
Expressing the futility of the situation.
Ain't no way around it
There is no avoiding or escaping the current circumstances.
There ain't no way around it
Reiterating the impossibility of avoiding the situation.
My crutch is gone my baby left me
Feeling abandoned and dependent on something (possibly a substance or person).
Took what I had to Tampa Bay
Someone took away what I possessed to a place called Tampa Bay (possibly indicating a loss).
Forget, No! I'll have my time
Refusing to forget or give up despite difficulties.
Meanwhile I'm spaced out of my mind
Feeling detached or dissociated mentally.
I've been looking for the clown
Continuing the search for the source of highs and lows.
That's brought me up and dragged me down
Reflecting on the influence of someone who's been both supportive and detrimental.
I've hocked my life and all my things
Used possessions and life as collateral for something.
For a beat up pair of broken wings
Traded everything for something damaged or worthless.
That won't fly
Highlighting the impossibility of making the damaged or worthless valuable.
Ain't no way around it
There's no escaping the current circumstances.
There ain't no way around it
Reemphasizing the inescapability of the situation.
