My Rock Botton

Living Life Is Difficult For Me,
Looking Back On My Past Is Something I Dont Want To See,
I Did Alot Of Bad Stuff In My Past,
It Will Be Stuck With Me Until I Pass,
Some Things I Wish I Could Take Back,
Some Things I Know I Lack,
But Being Locked Up Taught Me How To Act,
I've Never Been Scared In My Life,
My Life Flashed In Front Of Me,
I Felt I Was Going Insane,
I Couldnt Even Tell You What Was Going Through My Brain,
I Was Being Blamed For A Robbery I Didnt Commit,
I Tryed To Convince Them But They Didnt Believe It,
All I Remember Is Going Into A Rage,
Assaulted Two Adults That Got In My Way,
They Called The Police,
All I Was Thinkin Was Run Away,
But I Stayed For No Reason,
I Was Calm But Still Upset,
I Was Cuffed & Thrown In The Back,
I Was At A Loss Of Words,
All I Could Think Of Was My Mom,
Putting My Momma Through That Was Wrong,
I Never Wanted Anybody To See Me At My Worst,
But They Knew Way Before I Even Burst,
I Remember Telling My Friends That I Loved Them & Dont Worry About Me,
I Will Be Back Soon,
You'll See,
Being Behind Bars Was Hard,
I Had God On My Side,
He Was There On My Destruction Ride,
He Helped Me Store My Little Pride,
All I Can Tell My Self Is "Try!",
But Then I Ask Myself Why,
I've Never Tried,
I Cant See How I've Dug Myself In This Far,
Alot Of People Like Me Forget Who We Are,
All I Needed Was A Little Bit Of Motivation,
It Will Help Me Focus On My Concentration,
God Helped Me In & Out Behind Bars,
But My Fate Was Out Of His Hands,
It Was Up To The Judge,
They Told Me This Wasnt A Great Situation,
They Said Plead Guilty & You Get 6 Months Tracking & Probation,
I Didnt Want To But I Did,
We All Make Sacrafises That Decide Our Bid.
