Almost Over
By LeVar E Jones

Said I was thankful because I came to prison
Why? I got a chance to change my decisions
Got a chance to sit down and re-examine myself
A chance to talk to God who gave me all the help
Found my talent to write but things didn't go right
When I try to find peace, demons still struggle and fight
Thankful I came to prison but don't get it twisted
I miss my family, pretty soon this burden will be lifted
I miss my son, you'll never hear me say otherwise
Can't even wipe the tears from my mother's eyes
Can't be there to help my dad, his body wrecked with pain
Coming to prison, I can say that I'm not the same
Yeah, there's tears in my eyes and remorse in my heart
But prison life for me created a brand new start
If I were in the streets where would I be?
Probably in a graveyard where family come visit me
Sexing all types of women, lying with dogs getting fleas
In other words, probably have some sexually transmitted diseases
Every day, death was creeping round my life
So prison gave me a chance to get my mind right
I really hate this place 'cause it causes my family grief
Going through it and stressed beyond my disbelief
Thankful I survived with a better head on my shoulders
With better decisions I'm glad this is almost over!
