Lights Out
Unknown to me these people in this room
Attempted murders, drug dealers and thieves, is what I presume...
I have never known to have such fear,
and being in this predicament is rather *****.
God has always been so lenient with his heart
But this last crime, I think I lit his anger with a spark
My thoughts in conference confirmed, I was being greedy
Now I'm stuck in a confinement for the meek and needy
Fear has settled deep inside my chest
Cut up women screams her mind to rest
I ask the corrections: "How much longer, 'till I'm spared?"
He walks away, for my voice just wasn't glared
Please I whisper, as my hopes fill up with doubt
He just stares at me then yells: "LIGHTS OUT!!"
