A Broken Heart
I'm a criminal! I got a record to prove it
In prison for 21 years and I was 'bout to lose it
My parents died, I didn't even want to live,
Then I thought, I gotta get out and take care of my kids
My heart was broke till this day. It feels surreal
But when I sleep at night, it's their spirit I feel
I know when they were here; they were in pain
I've cried. Then my mom said, "Sunshine comes after the rain."
Life is for learning. I've grown up in prison
I've matured into a man and livin' how I should be livin'
In the back of my mind and deep down in my gut
I'll still cry for Mom and Dad but I'll never give up
Everything I do, I'll do it for my pops
I'll do it for my mom till God tells me to stop
I'm a soldier! But I never wore fatigues
But I'm on a battlefield, getting the help that I need
It comes from God and He's keeping me strong
All I do and say, I promise, my parents' spirits will live on
It will shine through me and it'll be vibrant every day
There is nothing man made that'll ever take the rain away
When holidays come or I hear their favorite tunes
The conversations we've had on birthdays, I'll let go of balloons
All I cry is pain. There's nothing to stop the flow
Knowing my parents are up in the sky, looking down below
Smiling on me, when I get out, it'll be a rocky start
I gotta start from scratch by first repairing my broken heart!
