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
