Why Am I Here
Foced in with no escape
just because of one mistake
simply waiting on a date
to return after man has decided our fate.
We ask, why am I here?
After the gang we served over Christ
and all the crimes and all the heists.
After the people we jumped like opposition
and the property damage, our
endless mission.
We ask, why am I here?
After the drugs we sold, to whom no care
and the fights started simply from stare.
After getting high everyday
and the Devil we invited into our hearts
to stay.
We ask, why am I here?
After denying face to our son
the burden we caused our mom, It
weighed a ton.
After our family and home, that
we destroyed
and after all the women we have toyed.
We ask, why am I here?
After school expulsion, all our fault
and the yougsters to be like us we taught.
After the name we gave our neighborhood
and doing everything except, what
we should.
We ask why am I here?
After the hopes of others, we
happily crushed
and their lives to us didn't mean much.
After all the people we put to shame
and playing with life as if a game.
We ask, why am I here?
After the second or third time being here
and the thought of return brings no fear.
After everything we have done wrong
even though deep down we know we belong.
We ask, why am I here?
