Description: THIS WRITE IS VERY, VERY REAL I WROTE ABOUT A TIME IN MY LIFE WHEN I JUST GOT OUT OF JAIL AFTER SERVING 13 MONTHS. AND HOW THE SYSTEM WANTED TO SEND ME TO PRISON. I WAS WALKING A VERY THIN LINE. I FELT LIKE THEY HAD MY PRISON NUMBER WAITING 4 ME. BUT I GOT A JOB CHANGED MY LIFE AND NOW I HAVE NOTHING LIKE THAT HANGING OVER MY HEAD. THEY DID NOT WIN.DESPITE THEIR TESTS
My Redemption -------------------------------------------
they got my number drawn
they stuck me in this place
they think it wont be long
cause my only way is laced
i will not let them win,
i will not give in
yet their pushing me
and testing me
their pushing me
their testing me
their pushing me and testing me
testing my waters again
i will not let them win
i will not give in
i need some redemption
can't ditch this reputation
it follows me around
i try press on
but they fight to hold me down
I am so sick of you people
im so tired of this town
i need some redemption
where is my redemption
can't you people open your eyes?
can't you fucking see?
i am not who i use to be
im not burning every bridge i see
why cant you people just let me be
fuck no.. they got my number
they get over i get under
i need some redemption
where is my redemption?
their pushing me
and testing me
their pushing me
their testing me
their pushing me and testing me
testing my waters again
i will not let them win
i will not give in
im so fuckin ill of this shit
all this love i have, all this crap i get
guess karma has taken over
all this shit i gave,
the misery i paved
the lifes i ruined that can't be saved
returned in full...
Your anger and frustration comes through very powerfully. It takes two seconds to ruin a good reputation and a lifetime to build one. I would tell the character in this poem, to embrace the difficulty if indeed it is karma for deeds done and pain created. It is easier than feeling unjustly victimized. This is gripping - nice
Well then...that's quite full of feeling and anger it seems, but no doubt you'd be angry if you were tired of all that...i like this piece and it is right for lyrics...it's very understandable and i don't know if it's relateable for me, but hey, whatever floats your boat....great job
