me in recovery waiting to get out and see my lady. I just found out she has my baby. Can't wait to feel the first kick but till then I'll watch time tick it makes me sick that it had to come to this to finally click. Life has hit me like a thousand pound brick. My whole life I've been a royal prick. Playing life like it's a car trick time to not be a fool and get back in school, time to help my baby never gonna have to be shady towards my baby got to set a good example and prove lifes not just a free sample its a test forget the rest when I'm with my familys when I feel best. No more drugs or running with thugs. Just us.

Take a look and tell me, what you see in me, this is what I see
I see a man, strong and fearless as a lion, as delecate and peaceful as a dove,
but like a lone wolf, denying and never seeking love, what I see is my destiny
carved by my desire to lead, I was birthed by darkness, throngs the pain I've gained.
I hold the sun and the moon in my hands and with that I have belong the right hand of death.

A kid who doesn't like poetry is what I see. I'd rather be stung by a poisonous bee. Or get run over by a SUV, or be swallowed up by a giant squid in the sea because I do not do poetry.

Take a look and tell me, what you see in me, this is what I see
I look in the mirror and i ask myself why,
why did you do this to yourself was your life not good enough,
why didn't you play the tape to the end before making your decision
do you realize how deep your whole is dug, do you realize you have to make things right
and fill that hole back in, do you really? I do

Take a look and tell me, what you see in me, this is what I see
Someone who loves so deep to imagine
someone who cares and gets sad over the tease of others.
Someone who forgot the battle and has now won.
And finally someone who is remembered for great things.

A muslim
who got knowledge and wisdom.
I aint shady
but sometimes I'm crazy
when I come around
they bow down
cause I got that crown
yes Im that queen bee
so, step and see
or fall back
and get smacked.

Take a look and tell me, what you see in me, this is what I see
A soul trying so hard to be
But hasn't yet found a way to agree
with all the conflict inside of me
the fire the ice enough to make the
biggest men flee so take a look
And tell me what you see in me
And tell me what you think I should be.

Take a look and tell me, what you see in me, this is what I see
I see a young man
A young man trying to succeed
A young man going through a hard time
But this young man
He can succeed
He has the potential to succeed
But this young man keeps messing up
But he has tried and tried to succeed
Finaly he has succeeded
Finaly he is free
