I’m only 14
Parsley raised in the streets
Sluggin thugin was the game
Norrrrrrth is what I yelled
N.E.G
Is what I claimed
I lost my mans to the heat
To Champaign police officer
Who suppose to protect the streets
I don’t wanna leave like dat
I just wanna get my life back
I gotta do right if
I’m gonna live long
But livin behind the bars
Aint the right way it’s wrong
So when I get out ima do right
I just can’t wait till I see the sunlight
i never would have known
wat i was doin wrong
till i came in here
filled wit fear
