A Rip Off!
I traded in a good job, to being unemployed,
I traded in my fame, to my reputation being destroyed.
I traded in my 97 Sunfire, that was full of beat,
traded in my nice hair cuts, and nice shoes on my feet.
I traded in my hobbies, to laying in a small cell,
I traded in bowling, winning money, to going straight to jail.
I traded in my time with my family, and being with my son,
traded in being a family man, to being an arsonist on the run.
I traded in my goals of firefighting, to striking a match,
traded in a fluffy mattress, to this so called mat.
I traded in all my good things, and traded them for bad,
traded in all my jewellery, to things that made me mad.
To me it's a rip-off, because I traded all my dreams in,
I went from being known to having enemies, and not friends.
I traded in all the girls, I had set with on the street,
traded that pleasure to inmates in the dayroom who sweeps.
I traded in my freedom, to a do not pass go sign,
I traded in my dignity to tell the truth, instead of lying.
I traded in my home, to being in a maximum security prison,
I traded in wisdom for foolishness, because I didn't listen.
I traded in buying expensive things, no matter the cost,
traded money in my pockets, to money on my books now that's
A RIP OFF!
