My Backs Against the Wall
The uncertainty of my future and the torture of my past
has shrewn my confidence asunder and shakin up my cast
a closed door in every direction my walls are closing in so fast
I feel the longer this continues the shorter I will last
Lately failure descends upon everything I touch
someone please jumpstart my tenacity cause I swear that it wont budge
down with a society where no one can lend a helping hand
how can you crush the ground beneath me and expect for me to stand
No one see's what I can do all they see is what I've done
ever since my troubled youth they label me as a felon
how am I supposed to feed my family and stay out of jail
you won't even give me a chance but rather see me in a cell
there's no pride left within me on my face at night I fall
Im the one that allways said don't give in and stand tall
yet if something wasn't holding me up I would fall
you'd expect me to be thankfull for something to lean on but my back's against the Wall
