Mind Resurrection

Going through changes Hoping my mind rearranges Street life and gang banging At the dope house hanging See that was all I thought I knew Really it was what I wanted to do Tears falling from my momma's eyes And as much as I hate to see my momma cry I still fell victim to street life Looking for love in all the wrong places Late night and fist fights Strange familiar faces Resulting in court cases I didn't think anything was wrong with me Then it dawned on me My twenties was lost in prison walls Breaking rules Making unauthorized phone calls My son don't even know me He's eight years old Missed all eight entirely I realize I have problems That's the first step Now I need to solve them So momma keep praying I know God hears you Because my mind's rearranging Author: James Ryan White
