[Verse 1] I've been breaking out of here Since that tag came off my wheels Under flags of inconvenience Clinched my teeth and clenched my fist Put everyone who dared to care Found bitter in the sweet [?] All my faith against the wall Down on Damascus Street Never turned a deal down Too heavy on my feet Caught him in a dead run [Chorus] Down on Damascus Street Ooh down on Damascus Street Ooh down on Damascus Street [Verse 2] The face of a cruel master And fields of wonderful And one too many shadows So me I had to go Kids like me don't end up here A foreign [?] A head all filled with strangers Forgetting all I am [?] Isn't getting up The blade went in too deep Drawn on everything I learned [Chorus] Down on Damascus Street Ooh down on Damascus Street Ooh down on Damascus Street [Verse 3] Before they close the city off Before the lights turn blue Before they they turn downtown Before the day is new Posted all the borders Scattered all I need I'd sell my soul to make it home Back on Damascus Street [?] Let me tell it all but in [Chorus] Down on Damascus Street Oooh down on Damascus Street Oooh down on Damascus Street Oooh down on Damascus Street Oooh down on Damascus Street
