Thats My Word

Living to die shedding these tears 
look at all the pain I felt threw the years
I look at my peers a lot of em gone
I'm a christian but a lot of what I did was dead wrong
this hear is a dead song and thats truthfully speaking
I remember the days I had no where to stay
I was crying to God and my eyes was literally leaking
Christ is what I'm spiritually seeking 
but sometimes he seems so outta reach
I wanna teach but I still gotta be taught
all the crimes I did I was only locked up for one
am I lying to myself when I say love is what I want
damn! 
now it's back to the writtens
another prayer for my niggas doing life sentences
I'm doing this lyrical spitt for a reason
so let me make this pen bleed 
shed a couple tears for my seed
I make this promise to my son 
I'll never you alone in this cold @$$ world

THAT'S MY WORD
