UNchained Mind

Trap my body, can't trap my mind.
Glad you checked on me, but I'm doing just fine.
I pray for my kid and please protect my mom.
Grateful for what I have, don't worry about what I don't.
I know that He will, even when it felt like He wont.
So every night I pray before I hit that bunk.
My celly smoking kay talking about its skunk.
I'm gonna be gone for a little bit, gotta do some time.
Was tryna do right at the same time doing crime.
Will not shed a tear, this is no place for crying.
Said I would change, this time I ain't lying.
God please correct me, I don't want to hurt no more.
I know the life I want, this time I'm sure.
