The Exorcism of G-Bad Pt 5

What I was yesterday
Today? I no longer am
Realized I was a fool
Had fallen for a scam
The Devil...Deceiver
But God... Not a believer
So where do I fit?
Purgatory isn't my game
How to correct all my misplaced blame?
Look into myself, a gaze into the mirror
The answer came to me
Couldn't be more clear
I used to be good before the world broke me
I cared about humanity
Injustice would provoke me
Like the Grinch my heart grew
Twicefold, threefold
It took loss, to repent
Before my life was just too spent
Eliminate the hate, its a burden too great
The weight can be lifted
Its not my final fate
There are some who won't forgive
Apologize, although i've tried
Some sins can't be forgiven
To them, the old me hasn't died
But I hold no grudge, some fences stay broke
Just hope my brother sees that i've awoke
Becoming the man i'm supposed to be
Too bad it took a tragedy
Taking it day to day
Is now my strategy
Out of the ashes and the tears
I'm now molded a new man
Allow me to prove to the world
I follow a new plan
