IN THIS LIFE (PART II) 7/31/12
IN THIS LIFE
MY SCARS ARE VISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC
TATTED ON MY BODY,
MURDER,
DEATH,
KILL;
IN THIS LIFE
I'VE SURVIVED WHEN I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE DIED
IN THIS LIFE
SLUGGS POPPED AT ME
AND I DIDN'T GET CLAPPED,
BUSTED BACK,
SAW 'EM FALL,
BUT DIDN'T STAY TO SEE IF THEY GOT BACK UP!
IN THIS LIFE
RETALIATED BECAUSE CRIMINALS VIOLATED
MY UNCLES BARBERSHOP
LAID 'EM DOWN
AND LEFT THE TOWN
IN THIS LIFE
SEEN FRIENDS TURN SNITCH
AND HAD TO DIE IN THE DITCH
IN THIS LIFE
SEEN MIRACLES FLOW FROM THE FATHER
SAVED A LOST SOUL LIKE ME
IN THIS LIFE
I'VE REPENTED FOR A PLETHORA OF SINS
FORGIVEN BY THE ONE TRUE GOD
IN THIS LIFE
I GIVE THANKS I SURVIVE
TO GIVE THE PUBLIC A GLIMPSE
OF REDEMPTION...
