Title: Prisoner
By: Lamar Westside Gates

I try to stay asleep cause being woke is Pain
Reminiscing on freedom, want me to charge it to the game
What did I do to deserve all this pain?
I just want my life back, they don’t understand that!
Used to be a family guy, and now I’m a nobody?
Sitting in this prison cell, going in circles like that Audi
My heart crying cause she abandoned me
Tears in my face
I miss my family
Mama got an illness, grandma don’t want to take her meds
They say don’t question god but I need an answer
Union city jail holding my brother for a ransom
My niece and nephew died before their time
My sister dealing with pain, it’s so hard to maintain
These walls looking at me while I sleep calling my name
These walls won’t stop looking at me
At me
The only time i’m free
is when I go back to sleep
