power to the pen
to my homie penned in
guess what I'm trying to
convey to my pen pal
inmate stay afloat
keep hope close
like a friend you can
trust on in hard times
doing hard time
for crack crime
I'm doing fine
you on my mind
thinking so many times
I could have took that ride
you was moving too fast
in a different lane
my mind was in a
different frame
couldn't see the picture
the same life without
parole hard to swallow
choked up to hear the verdict
wish I never heard it
3 strikes there's no baseball
in the struggle running home
won't save one from trouble
when one's living with the devil
stay strong use your noodles
for more than bartering
