Behind these walls


BEHIND THESE WALLS behind these walls there's a man bleeding out bout to die soon, no one in his circle would ever help, cause all he did was lose his purpose, I found a latter to the surface, but can't approach it can't even touch it! I'm sitting here thinking to myself is it really worth it. behind these walls, there's a man doughting himself he was just a young nigga waiting for his ticket in life, one night he got high as a kite, took flight on a nigga and did him something crusal, ended him with juvinile life, he use to have a beautiful girl a wonderful son but he got air headed and the devil kept feeding him lies, next thing you know he wakes up in a cold ass cell doing 30 plus years and that's a nigga who couldn't see right, behind these walls, there's a man crying and begging for a way out, well his luck's about to pay out. he a got a year and a half with sortened time, got out with fresh kicks looking​ fly, thought he could go home but his momma said bye bye. he didn't know what to do never thought he'd see the day, Everytime he calls mom for support, she say make the right choice doesn't help him cause she knows he can do it because his own mom went through it he tells yes I will find a way, next day he found this beautiful girl name Rebecca, thought she was a beautiful angle that came down from heaven, damn man she must be real blessin, behind these walls there's a man that's worried about his girl leaving his side, I think he would die if that day every came, he loves her very much that's why he's hard on her, doesn't want her to leave him so he asks god to make a way for him, all day I always pray for him, the person that I'm praying for is really me I can personally say I don't got no enemies
