Creating Fate [mono-Rhyme]

I once got twisted up in my own fate A pound of crystal I did create The police used their cash as bait I jumped on it just couldn't wait I went to jail until my court date The Judge rounded the years to eight Then he said this is no debate And ordered to auction off my estate Now I'm not one to recriminate But all I owned they did desecrate They loaded me in a bus and drove me to state Locked me up inside a prison gate There I proved its never to late And learned how to live my life straight Now I live here with my mate Who taught me to let go of all my hate
