-Verse 1-
“Feel my pain and feel the pressure you walk in my shoes
cll these L's come with depression all I did was lose
cnd I was sleeping on myself I kept on hittin snooze
I spent my life locked up in cages wearing prison blues
No one came to help I stood alone on my own two
cnd I was cool with errybody still I fought some dudes
Tried to stay in touch with culture why'd I watch the news
But then again man what's the point cuz I got years to do
While you wrestled with poverty and was crippled by the economy
I was worried bout them state treys and the dude sitting on the side of me
Extortion plus the robbery's and these punks committing sodomy
I guess it's kinda sick even the chaos didn't bother me
I was numb to pain, stuck in the rain, the chain gang
Nothing would change, slave to the chains, I maintained
I had to find another route I had changes lanes
But I was wrestling with doubt about the same thang
In the middle of the madness when I start to find my purpose
I ain't realize whole time I was lost in the streets I was searching
Tried to numb what I felt inside with the drugs cuz I was hurting
I refused to take a look within myself was stuck on the surface (yea)
I met the Savior in my cell that's heaven while in hell
The prison fence around me gates of hell will not prevail
I prospered in the dungeon learned contentment very well
The pit became my palace guess I got used to that smell
Write my kids letters from prison trying to be a parent
They acting distant while in vizo the truth is apparent
They growing up without a father I ain't no where near em
I keep my head up my while they walking out I see em tearing
The feelings of failing father make you wanna die
But you can't do nothing about while you stuck inside
Visitation once a year I'm left to call and write
Kept my composure go back to my cell but then I cry
Don't try to sympathize if you ain't ever felt the same
You ever watched a sane man slowly go insane
Seeing good kids lost feeling forced to bang
