It started with one day the day that I woke up,
I took a sip of the patron and choked up,
I lit a blunt but failed to inhale, and the whole room smoked up,
I took the mic from the host who did nothing but boast and I spoke up,
and I said……
“I gave my life through a piece of notebook paper
and let my hopes taper
into an unsuitable pathway that led only one way,
but I made it through with one prayer
I asked god if he gave me the strength
if I could go another day..
that I would go the extra length
to make a difference in somebody’s life in a positive way,
I mean my life was spared,
though my family was put through despair,
there was fear in their eyes that I wouldn’t survive,
or awaken in the hospital bed and forget why I was there,
I’ve been through the thick and have been in the thin
trust me I was glad to see life again,
I gave my soul and heart of gold to the bitterness of anger
and became so cold
and it was then that hatred did unfold,
Though we are held liable for our own trials
who will teach us not to hate?
Who will guide us and show us fate?
Who will save us when it’s too late…
I was once perceived infallible through unjustifiable terms,
I was once claimed innocent
though my innocence had been burned,
and the lesson of what torture is…was well learned
and the pages in my book of life could finally be turned.
We’ve all become fallen angels
from a heaven not known,
but the truth is no one wants to end up alone,
so it is then that people finally grow
Shaking hands types these final words,
as my sugar level drops to a lethal insulin shock,
the sweat beads fill my moistened skin,
but first let me quench my thirst,
as I breathe deeper to the let air in…
and now I close this rap with a promise
to never disclose- the meaning of these writes…
but truth is I’ve been exposed…”
