We build bonds through hard times
Sitting in a cell on top of an ‘el
Broken hearts from reverted mail
Returned to sender
Truth is she’s been gone since December…21
A neveruary sentence hurts
How do you cope
Pulls or the dope k2’s for the smoke
Weed or a book
So through the bars you can look at a wall and stare as life passes
Like sand in an hourglasses
The days of our lives gets drastic
I watched my man’s mental slip
He took a trip
But he stayed in the same place
Same cell
A mental fair well
These cages are designed to break us
Shake us and spin us
Into another dimension
The hell of us
Fiery souls
Lost in Trenton’s woes
Searching for freedom’s cold
Pieces of me fall to the floor and shatter
Depressingly, I pick pieces of me up
However, pieces of me, are forever missing on the floor of the prison
