today, I passed a liquor store
and didn’t stick it up
I really wanted to make a score
but jail’s a bitter cup
today I saw a lady
whose purse I didn’t snatch
I know it sounds real shady
but those marks I used to catch
today I passed the dope man
and didn’t even stop
I used to always have a plan
on when and where to cop
I guess you’re asking why
I’m spitting about my struggle
I’m just trying not to cry
while doing the “right/wrong” juggle
I know it must seem dumb to you
this plight I have to bear
but if I don’t be honest and true
the guilt I’ll always wear
you see, I’ve lived a horrid past
and day to day I try
not to take that fatal blast
cause if I do, I’ll die
So, tomorrow I’ll try again
another chance to do it right
I’m learning to be my own best friend
and win this hard-assed fight
