My Backs Against the Wall

The uncertainty of my future and the torture of my past has shrewn my confidence asunder and shakin up my cast a closed door in every direction my walls are closing in so fast I feel the longer this continues the shorter I will last Lately failure descends upon everything I touch someone please jumpstart my tenacity cause I swear that it wont budge down with a society where no one can lend a helping hand how can you crush the ground beneath me and expect for me to stand No one see's what I can do all they see is what I've done ever since my troubled youth they label me as a felon how am I supposed to feed my family and stay out of jail you won't even give me a chance but rather see me in a cell there's no pride left within me on my face at night I fall Im the one that allways said don't give in and stand tall yet if something wasn't holding me up I would fall you'd expect me to be thankfull for something to lean on but my back's against the Wall
