I let drugs take the best thing I had.
Now my future is iron clad.
Sitting here in this cell.
i think about my life before this hell.
Now I realize my body was an empty shell.
17 years old now this is my home
17 more of wearing this dunce cone
Shed no tears for the time I’ve earned,
just say cheers to the lesson I’ve learned
no regrets by one.
knowing people suffer from what I’ve done.
she looks into the eyes of her son
and tells me she still loves me after what I’ve done
but she won’t like the person I’ve become
Only one thing matters now,
I can’t give up or throw in the towel.
I know after I’ve done my time,
The second I step over the line
That the sun will shine.
