Made Bed
By LeVar E Jones

Suicidal thoughts weapon on my waist
banishing a firearm victim shot in the face
lived to tell his side lived to testify
lived to see me convicted, with his one good eye
on the bunk rocking, shaking my head in disgust
can't stand these haters, these enemies I can't trust
mistake after mistake meeting liar after liar
mission aborted courage is under fire
Giving all I got to give in my mind I still plot
got time to do time to think who's next to got shot
Got enough time for a brotha to sit here and rot
blame nobody but me, it's the job of the cops
to throw handcuffs on me to put me behind a fence
job to change and book me and take my fingerprints
mug to mean booking number in my hand
LA county jail, purple 3strike wristband
A straight keep away, damn they think I'm a menace
face the wall when I walk escorted by a lieutenant
Got a sergeant walking, who's getting my moves on tape
waiting for me to slip up to beat me something great
Left to ponder about my life damn it what's left?
burned all my bridges not a thing on my self.
It's the consequence I took a price I paid
So now I'm laying in the bed that I made.
