I wish I could change the old me

And teach him something new

Cuz my regret’s as big as the sea

When life is no guarantee

I lived in the ghetto, projects, and hood

All came with side effects

That I never understood

Until they told me their dark secrets

You see life’s beyond our own thinking

Something we can’t even imagine

But people still out there drinking

Not caring about what will happen

They fade onto a dark path

As their life is slowly drained

One day they’ll feel god’s wrath

As they’re legacy remains stained

Sometimes I wonder where my life will take me

Then realize I’ll go nowhere if I do nothing

Some people say life is worthless, well I heavily disagree

Cuz when I look at you, I see your hurt blushing

There’s also people like my past self

Ruthless, Heartless, and Evil

Not scared to take someone’s life off the shelf

Then cover the crimes like a weasel

But there’s a difference between us

And it’s that I was born and raised this way

But ya’ll just began to to lose trust

Which made you adjust

When I thought this was childs play

But if I can change, why can’t you

If I let go, you can too

I’ve seen what it changes you into

Something I wish I never went through

So when life begins feels like hell

Just know, I know it all to well
