Journal Entry Five

[Hook 1]
I had my shares of hope and pain
Grey skies all surround them
Gunshots screaming in the background
Ricochet ricochet bang bang
Gunshots screaming in the background
Ricochet ricochet bang bang
I had my shares of hope and pain
Grey skies all surround them

[Verse]
Barbed wire that penetrate
Epidermis was never safe
From machete sprays
Slit slice the razor blades
Praying the pain will fade
Continue the numbing strain
I'm trying to get away
Debating on ways
Ridding the pain
Rip away
Snip a chain
Fade away
Liquor say come on and sip
The blunt lit
I wanna a hit
But then again
The same time
I wanna quit
Don't wanna be tangled in
Don't wanna be slave again
Wanna see the freedom land
Wanna see me do better
But I'ma need me a medic
That medicine I can handle
Come save me, my soul in danger
And the only One that can manage
The bread of life give me leaven
The living water from heaven
Help me resist the Devil
When I'm chained down
Flesh weak
Mercy
Can’t see
Sunshine
I can’t breathe
All I see blood leaking
Through concrete
Lost souls
Among those
Look like me
Brown skin
Brown eyes
They my friends
My cousins and
My aunties and
My kin
Put the drink down
Smoke down
You don’t get it
Mom and dad was addicted
They souls off in the distance
No phone calls to give 'em
While you here and living
Accept Him and be forgiven
Accept Him and be forgiven

[Hook 2]
I had my shares of hope and pain
Grey skies all surround them
Gunshots screaming in the background
Ricochet ricochet bang bang
Gunshots screaming in the background
Ricochet ricochet bang bang
I had my shares of hope and pain
Grey skies all surround them
Gunshots screaming in the background
Gunshots screaming in the background
Ricochet ricochet bang bang
Ricochet ricochet bang bang
Ricochet ricochet bang bang
Ricochet ricochet bang bang
Ricochet ricochet bang bang
Bang bang
Ricochet ricochet bang bang
Ricochet ricochet bang bang
