Saw your face on the inmate site and felt some pain
Third time this year it’s like lessons was never gained
You used to rip the peel in middle school and elementary now meth got you out here roaming streets lost mentally
Wish that I could reach out and touch you but we was never right, ran with different crews but I would say what’s up when you in sight
My lil crew was getting fresh out goal impress the bitches, won’t outright say your crew was lame but I’ll say y’all was different
Maybe if I made an effort for our bond to blossom your path would’ve been altered
Guess I don’t do what I oughta
Maybe if I knew that you would end up on the streets I wouldn’t have turned the other cheek but we was kids that hardly speak
I take that you didn’t have the guidance that my father offered
Don’t know your family dynamic but usually that’s the start of a journey down a dark life marking you the martyr or mugshots with you resembling Pookie from the Carter
We was kids you was athletic you had potential
Only running back I looked at as some competition
Now people walk around you might not give slightest attention whispering I used to know that guy to whoever would listen
Wonder how it happened, couldn’t have happened overnight
Or maybe you had a bad batch and that altered your life
Or maybe you chose to go that route I hear that that’s a thing, you understood life was more than money and what it could bring
Or maybe the like the life you lead and you’ll bounce back in time, maybe you don’t mind to be locked up weekly for petty crime
Maybe I’m just tryna feel better by thinking it’s your choice probably you wish shit was different and you wish you had a voice
The Charles that I remember could’ve made it to the league but the Charles that I been seeing on that site is not at ease
Man the Charles that I remember the best player on his team but the Charles that I been seeing need someone to intervene
Man I just hope that person get to you before you gone barely know you but I pray you make it out that comfort zone
Even when you think you by yourself trust that you not alone you was in my mind hope you don’t mind for you I wrote this song
Bad times got an expiration date I heard
Not tryna tell you what to do just saying I’m concerned and if you ever hear this song I hope you understand I’m not saying we was best of friends who grew up hand and hand
If someone else could’ve wrote this song I bet they would I couldn’t be the only one that want to do some good
If this the inspiration that you need it’s what you got my pen just started writing when I saw your mugshot
