Loss of Innocence From a Young Youth In Oakland
Innocence was lost years ago
Not mine, but everyone around me
Some things changed
White turned to black
Friends turned to enemies
Wrong turned to right
And happiness turned to depression
Escape was nowhere in sight
But i needed more than anything to get out of here
Everyone around me was changing Yet I didn’t want anything to do with it I didn’t wanna join them, I wanted out
I was overwhelmed and felt suffocated
Those were the years everything changed
And somehow I managed to escape it
