\"Bars From Behind Bars\"
All I ever wanted was a Father, to love & hold me tight/
Now all I have is a cell, where it\'s so lonely & cold at night
Eyes holding back the tears, so my peers don\'t think that I\'m weak/
So many years I\'ve spent looking answers, so many questions to a past that runs so deep
Using poetry as my release, to escape my bleak surroundings/
From the abuse I received since a youth, to under the roof of the prison landings
Deeply regretting the texts I sent, cause sending \'em sent me to HMP/
Like my life weren\'t already a sentence, closing my eyes, pretending that I\'m free
But in reality I\'m caged like an animal, for the crime of a cry for help/
For fighting back against my misery, lyrically for the rights of my likkle girl
It\'s me, myself & I now, living for the hope of better days/
Sweating from the eye brow, ever since I got attacked on my second day
I know there\'s gotta be a better way, & with the right help, I know I\'ll find it/
Cause God blessed me with the talent of rhyme, but in time I let my anger blind it
Deep in my heart I wish I could rewind it, to the time when my mind was pure like snow/
But for now I\'ll just seek the cure, cause I\'ve got such a long way to go.
