12-30-06 Was It Worth It? By LeVar E Jones
As I stare in the mirror, I look at myself,
Look past the bumps and realize I really need help,
I been in prison for years, now was it worth the wait?
Did I pass God's test? Did I rely on my faith?
Did I seek God? Did I ask him to take my hand,
Did he guide me through this? Or did I depend on man?
The match I picked up, was it worth the pain?
Pain on not being with my son? Is my love in vain?
Did I get cracked, because I needed time to think?
All the time I got, I think it's time for a drink!
If they released me now, would I get SSI?
The goals I want to achieve, is my goal still the sky?
If I went back to court, would they say did I learn my lesson?
Would I say yes, or say I need help to control this obsession!
I don't have no money, no clothes, or nothing in my name,
Would I depend on mom and dad, begging for change?
Was the 21 years worth the wait, will I soon forget?
How many tears I tasted? How many times my pillow was wet?
If I get out, and all my goals I'll achieve,
Then it was worth it, 'cause prison made me a better me
I don't want to get out, and depend on anybody else,
End up stealing, and pawning things that look good on the shelf,
Lord, you made me, nobody on this earth is perfect,
As I look in the mirror, I ask myself, was it worth it?
