Poem Title:
Poem
I might be going to jail tonight, I don't know for sure/ I'm riding out, before I leave I want to hold you close/ Tell me you love me, and if I go to jail/ Tell me you will be there for me, forever care for me/ We been together through thick and thin, right and wrong/ When I needed a hand, you gave an arm, and kept me strong/ You did everything you were supposed to do/ Kept it true to the bone like you were supposed to/ You was with it more than my entire crew/ That's why you with me more than anyone/ But tonight, I'm riding out, and I love you too much/ For me to jeopardize your life or see you in cuffs/ There is no telling what the future hold/ You my future and tonight I want to hold you close/ Cherish these moments in memory, you never know/ I gotta do what I gotta do when it's time to go/ All you can do is send me three wishes, wish for the best/ And hope I make it back from this test/ I hope to make it back, relax in my home once again/ But tonight, I'm riding out/ You dealing with a crook for life, a career criminal/ A career thief at heart, you can read about me/ From Career Thief book on Amazon/ Life as a convicted felon is not easy/ I can't get an honest job, so I'm leaving to steal/ I'm only playing the hand that they deal/ Plus my homies do a lot worse just for the thrill/ But still, look at the position they put me in, forcing my hand/ Plus I'm a man, so I gotta make money for my family/ This how we in the hood get our kid's school clothes/ And really, the family the only ones that understand/ They will be the only ones there if I get jammed/ If I don't have anything, I have a woman that's down/ So if I gotta do some time, I know she will be around/ And if I gotta do some time, I can do it in peace/ Knowing that I have a ride or die riding with me/
