i'm locked up in a cell doing time
surrounded by darkness and there ain't no sunshine
my easy life is what got me here
25 with and L so I got no fear
Everyday all i do is walk the yard
read some books and play some cards
write some letters routine calisthedics
I do what I do and that's what's expected
i think about my son and what he's doing today
I did the crime but it's him that has to pay
one day when he gets older
I hope he'll understand why it wasn't around teach him how to be a man
I hope he takes care he's a mom becasue i can't
when i seen the cops
I should have ran
can't put off the inevitable damn
so i took my punishment and took a stand
chorus
looking at my life as it fades away
try to make it through everyday
staring at these walls all I see is your face
baby baby I think I'm going crazy
now I follow away from the one i love
feeling so sad and ut's all because
i'm so far away from the ones I need
I wish I could hold you but it's only in my dreams
I should have spend more time with them
I should have loved them
instead of being mad i put no one above them
they were my family and they were there for me
when I didn't have a car till I started making G's
from beginning to the end their love was pure
my son's mother was the only girl i trusted for sure
when shit went down she was down to roll
and when I wasn't around she was in control
she put it down an took my heart
that's why I gave her my name and another baby
I ask god for forgiveness and for god to save me
to show me the way it's supposed to be
or at least to my son cause its too late for me
and hopefully hebecomes a better man than me
I'm a G and that's how I got to live
god bless my family, my girl , and my kids.
