wicked ways as i cry i sigh
you take my hands wipe the tears from my eye
i see no reason why inside i die
my history catches up with me it aint no lie
wicked ways as i move i fall
there aint no reason y a man cant stand tall
memories of all the people that were near
my heart black but now my blood flows clear
move on with my life and slowly have no fear
verse
memories of all the people that were near
was lost for a time but now its so clear
now they haunt my dreams
like nightmares reflections
got me living my life in a state of corrections
i cant change my past only apoligise
but your consolation are my tears inside
aint got much left but my male pride
to write this tune and be all i can be
all my people in the past kno its real to me
we got life lyrics hope and love
the only man that can judge me is the man from above
i were this roserary yeh it hangs round my chest
but the next mans faith is a bullit proof vest
the lord takes my hand he guides my way
shows me hope helps me forget yesterday
when my soul was weak the devil lead me astray
i drop to my knees look up at the sky
lord wont you help me wipe blood tears from my eye
chorus
verse 2
stand aside you can cast the first stone
you can judge me you can hate cus i stand alone
these decision that i make might not be right
i got my strengh i got my faith i got my will to fight
these are the things that help me sleep at night
when i was a youth i had to go on dark
i got feds lookin for me in handsworth park
bear crimes i commit trying to make ends meet
im robbing mans from my ends im robbing mans from the street
i cant justify the things that iv done
but you had food and if i didnt theres be none
giro call it the breadline
do i want a solictitor no i decline
i want my free call upon the phone line
i know my rights this aint my first time
chorus
verse 3
man im content jus shitting on the shelf
people are wrong history dont repeat itself
cus im staying focused and im staying out of crime
writing these tunes to keep me off the breadline
going through the motions im jus living life
filled with pure emotions like pain and strife
to my baby mother i apoligise
for the hurt and pain and the blatent lies
i was young i was stupid and i idolised
all the wrong people and them foolish guys
