The Pain Is My Home
My mind is a prison/
With bars that I've written/
To lock you in a place of pain/
Where I'm living/
Bring you to my kitchen/
Show you the lies given/
By rats and flies who've altered my vision/
Trust no body- The life Ive been living/
Ever since my ex-wife tried in that kitchen/
To slice me up like I was fried chicken/
No I'm not kidding/
And yes there is more/
Like Two-headed snakes on the living room floor/
One is my cousin, the other is a whore/
But watch your step cuz there might be more/
One named Nikki/ The other named Sam/
And both our products of a devilish plan/
To turn a good boy to a devilish man/
By breaking his heart with a devilish scam/
And both of them bite, Ive seen it before/
If you run, you can make it to the bedroom door/
Inside, no flies, no rats, no snakes/
Instead, there's a bike and a birthday cake/
But the bikes got rust and the cake has mold/
Cause I bought them for my son when he was 2 years old/
And now he's turning 4, But I wont see his face/
Because he's held captive, by a devilish snake/
And now your free to go, from prison by a poem/
Me, I serve a life sentence. The pain is my home.
