The Transition (More of My Truths and Thoughts0

we were all born into sin but as time progressed I became guilty of so many sins of the flesh I guess the pain I possed needed an outlet but would only get expressed when I became upset raw pain and emotion led to savage rage I behaved so far from the way I was raised became accustomed to street life so most days was in a drunk stupor or occasional weed haze stickups,re-ups summer games that we played street beefs,club fights sometimes the guns blazed never thought I'd loose my little cousin in that way should have read the signs , I could feel them that day can't run from the pain so I had to face it knew I needed a change but I wouldn't embrace it All praises to God I rebuke you Satan I'm ready to stand in front of the world a changed man but old habits are hard to break sometimes the ghost in your past are hard to shake they'll peck at your flesh until it starts to ache if you can relate then you know the toll it takes
