11-20-12 My Time
By LeVar E. Jones C 2013
Still stuck in this prison, but my time will come,
Release date approaching, how I can finally see my son.
I look in the mirror, and still don't like what I become,
Need to be a better man, need to take care of my mom,
I hear my father's voice, feeling the effects of the stroke,
How can you mend a heart, that always stay broke?
Can't be there for them so all I do is stress
Even though I'm down in the dumps, I'm still blessed.
I try to smile every day, and feel like giving up now,
It's really hard to smile, when I been like this for awhile.
One day it will be over, and I'll go back to being me,
But with a different mindset, taking care of my family.
People come back to prison because they never learn,
My release date is near, it will pretty soon be my turn.
All I have is memories, when I was having bad luck,
It's almost over because God has lifted me up.
The tattoos on my body, remind me of where I been,
Of what not to go back to, missing my family and friends.
Walking a thin line, next time I won't be so lucky,
Facing my 3rd strike, and a lawyer whose job is to dump me.
So to avoid that, I'm gonna get my mind right
Follow Jesus every day, because that path is always bright
But until then I gotta have a positive state of mind,
Prepare myself for the streets, because it's almost my time.
