God Damnit 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 they callin' 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 coming back again
I'm checkin out, I'm listed M.I.A.

oh yeaah
oh yeaah

God damnit
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 yeah
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 coming back again
I'm checkin out, I'm listed M.I.A.
