Alot of people never made it, to see the age 21,
the world is so cold, everybody got a gun.
in about 7 months, Ill reach the age of 35
but that birthday will be in prison, how did I survive?
Through all the drama, from people who claim the hard,
carrying knives in their ass, in the level 4 backyard.
I know one thing! I wasn't walking alone,
had a shield of protection, while in the danger zone.
Really no protection, from the one's we call cops
scare the hell out of you, with "NO WARNING SHOTS!"
Bodies dropping all around you, knives left at the scene,
zip ties everywhere, shell casings from the mini 14
coming from the guard, who's posted in the tower
that mean mug on your face, will turn really sour
so how did I make it? Well, I do mind my own
stay out of peoples bizz, cause I wanna live long,
Revealing my feelings, that comes from deep within,
trying to go home smarter than the way I went in.
young and immature, stuck in battle without a plan,
losing the war , but turned into a better man.
so be thankful, because you don't know when youll leave,
everyday you live is a good day. and you can breathe.
