Redeem Yourself

Can't seem to Shrug away this shame I was a fool playing life like a game Should of known not to take life in vain Dropped out of school now my life will never be the same. Sellin drugs with the thugs posted in My new domain. False visions of money power and fame Greed overpowered I had no intent to restrain. My minds intoxicated no use for my brain It's been stimulated by long nights of weed, ice, pills, and cocaine. It's a struggle keepin a 9-5 strivin to maintain. Lifes spiraling down and consumed like a drain. I hit rock bottom But let me explain I'm not here to cry and complain Truth is I just wanna proclaim my sorrows gone only good vibes and intent will remain. I fought the fight of my life and still overcame. All I see is happiness no more windowpane Good vibes and honest intent are all that remain No more struggles im done with the pain My head starts to clear & I start feeling sane Feelin the normal functions retrain in my brain I've made my mistakes I'm the one to blame, But nothing can Contain or Restrain My pride of the man I became
