3-5-14 A Job 2 Do By LeVar E. Jones
The issues I have, the talent I now possess,
the anxiety I feel, bearing it is part of the test.
I'm left defeated to know I have to contempla[te]
thinking what's next, when I get from behind thes[e] [*.]
Said I'll never be nothing, I'm nothing but a crim[inal.]

They're entitled to their opinion, I'm not gonna fail.
I'll be something despite finding my talent in a ce[ll,]
surrounded by 4 concrete walls, that'll only make me r[eal.]
Taken to a destination unknown, it only makes me wo[rry]
about my past which only gives me severe anxiety [attacks.]
My mind is poisoned, and I'm hated 'cause I'm bl[ack.]
They like my style, but they really hate my feature[s,]
treat me like I got cooties, like I'm some type of crea[ture.]
What's on my mind? What in the world do I go th[rough,]
became a lawbreaker in a cell at age 18 and [*]
with the issues I have, and the talent for me,
about my life, things that didn't go right, or my 2 st[rikes.]

Now when I get outta these dumps, I got a job to do.
