The I in Me
Location
Cold, dark and miserable
Was told it was part of being a criminal
But why title me that?
It's not like you know all the facts
True I don't know how to act
But at least I stay true to my colors
By the way don't expect any favors
You never got to know me
Yet you won't let me be
What I want to be
I'm a poet lost in my dreams
You couldn't imagine what I've seen
What I've done
Or even worse, what I've become
You might think it's dumb
But you're empty minded
Blinded by the same light by which i was once guided
I chose a different route
I'm still thankful I got out
That life I wasn't about
Well it's about time for change
Tired of living on loose change
Show no shame for changing up the game
Without pain there ain't no gain
But I'm gaining up so I'm in a world of hurt
It's about time I put in work
And I don't mean the dirty kind
It'll be clean for the first time
This is me
This is I
The old me is still off getting high
The new me is finally getting by
Finally getting to buy
Clothes, food, jewlry the list stacks up high
So this is it, this is me
I choose my own destiny
