Do the Time 3/25/23 Any news? When you coming home? Got my auntie asking 7:10 over the phone Sitting' on a unit I blew it never knew I'd lose out on life Other end of the phone listening’ to time pass me by No tears to cry I ran out a couple months ago Transient friends holding me down before they hit the road Every night we reminisce ‘bout people that we know Grateful as hell that we do not have to do this solo Living my life, looking back at the good times Spending my nights in a cell writing these rhymes Hope it's a dream, I'll wake up see it was a lie But jokes on me, did the crime got to do the time Not the only one doing time Family pay for fifteen minutes on a recorded line Schedule weekly visits getting one hour of time Innocent victims to the system they just outside I'm the reason that mama cry I'm the reason grandma don't sleep Got my sister wondering why this shit is happening to me Big brother dropped the ball now we all paying the fee Every night I pray that God and my family forgive me
