Bars From Behind Bars

"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.
