Going to jail for something I didn't do

It's hard to grow

It's hard to sleep

It's hard to keep on fighting 

When you stand on trial 

For something I didn't commit 


Time flies when you living in a jail cell 

I'm hurting they infatuated with the hurt I didn't cause 

Life's changing mommas crying he’s flying 

I graduated behind the bars 

I broke to many promises

I need to find help 

I'm breaking time is ticking

my life's seems like it's fading 


I enter the prison people looking 

Times slowing I'm hurting 

People jumping I'm staying clear of the pain

I miss home 

I miss sanctuary 

I miss my mom 

I feel weak

 I want my sound of mind 

From the chaos around me 


I had to starve 

Scared to share 

Not tryna end up on the news again

I'm sad

I'm mad 

Tryna get out of this wretched place  

Could've been with my girl making money 

But instead in jail staying hungry
