The Change


What made you change ?

I changed for me, I changed completely.

its hard to see.

I have tattoos, so Im considered bad

I sometimes wonder, what if i had a dad?

Would I have a rough past? Would i have done better In school ?

Would i have chose better friends ? Instead of hanging with fools ?

So what made me change you ask ? Maybe seeing my mom cry.

In and out of jail for so long, and i still wouldnt know why.

Now I inspire others to do better, Now they want to be me.

What made me change ?

I changed for me, I changed completely.
