03\/20\/18\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I try to stay asleep cause being woke is Pain\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Reminiscing on freedom, want me to charge it to the game\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What did I do to deserve all this pain?\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I just want my life back, they don\u2019t understand that!\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Used to be a family guy, and now I\u2019m a nobody?\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sitting in this prison cell, going in circles like that Audi\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My heart crying cause she abandoned me\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tears in my face\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I miss my family\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mama got an illness, grandma don\u2019t want to take her meds\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They say don\u2019t question god but I need an answer\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Union city jail holding my brother for a ransom\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My niece and nephew died before their time\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My sister dealing with pain, it\u2019s so hard to maintain\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
These walls looking at me while I sleep calling my name\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
These walls won\u2019t stop looking at me\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At me\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The only time i\u2019m free\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
is when I go back to sleep
