One bad decision away from...

 

One bad day from. ....

 

One bad mistakes.

 

   I've gotten away with the same ones.

 

   So many times

 

   But all it takes....

 

One.

 

One bad move from ....

 

   being in

 

One bad mood.....

 

   and making my

 

One last move.....

 

   by having to prove ........ 

 

   I'm

 

One bad dude.

 

One lapse in judgment.....

 

One time losing my composure.....

 

   Because

 

One time don't need

 

One reason for policemen to pull me over.

 

   So if I'm driving........

 

   Everything's correct.

 

   Seatbelt, drivers license,

 

   Got all my paperwork. ...check.

 

   Keep my hands in plain sight

 

   And I talk with respect 

 

   When I say I'm just leaving Moms house,

 

   In case they looking to make an arrest

 

  Of the usual suspects....

 

   Because....

 

One bad line-up.....

 

   And

 

One bad artist depiction.....

 

   And

 

One bad haircut.......

 

   Now you are the

 

One who's fittin' the description.

 

   It only takes. ....

 

One

 

One aberration,

 

One miscalculation. 

 

   Will make

 

One make calculations.

 

   Of when will my next visiting day comes?

 

   And when will my sentence reach it's

 

   Expiration?

 

   They waiting for....

 

One more mis-step ,

 

One more foul up.

 

One more moment of me not being humble.

 

   Of me not being able to keep my mouth 

 

   shut.

 

One more faux pas.

 

One more miscommunication with the law.

 

One more blunder.

 

One more chance to choose not to have

 

   My name replaced by numbers.

 

One more chance to choose how I spend my

 

   summers.

 

One more chance to choose not to let any-

 

One take me under.
