The Lyrics

As the lyrics play in my ear i began to focus on lifes greatest things with the past catching up 
to me i realize no ones there to catch my fall 
As the lyrics play i realize that if i dont change my ways im headed for a cell with no escape
As time will tell if i dont change my ways the song will end up being reality for me
as the lyrics play i begin to cry and thank God he gave me a second chance to over come 
the addicion of sin.
Before i end up in a box made of tin so as the lyrics play i realize the only way out of the 
hood is to stay focused and it will lead me in the right way.
so as akons song tired of running plays in my ear i thank god im here
