Behind bars made of steel
Your home, eight-by-eleven
You only did a nickel
Of the recommended seven

I'm asking you Blue
Did you do your time constructivly?
Or were you just another number
In medium security?

I'm scared for you Blue
Scared you'll soon go back
Cause you about breaking the law
Runnin women
Dealing crack
A criminal mind lives inside your head
So it's either back Upstate
Or I'll hear "Blue is dead"

Boy, you pushing fifty
More than halfway home
You think hanging with criminals
Is better than being alone
********

Please don't ***** up your probation
Don't mention the joke called rehabilitation
You got grown kids and Grandbabies
You need to see
You got a lifelong friend to call-on in me

This is a selfish thing
I don't want you to go back
I hate coming to visit
Seeing you like that

We can hang as we can
We'll laugh and lie
We'll sit and remember
The great old, old days when everybody knew
The coolest brothers in the city
B and Blue

Welcome home,
BE

I have read your chronicles inspired by Blue; and I certainly pray he will value his freedom more than give in to his fear of re-entering society. So many times (and I've heard ex-cons say this), they are afraid they will return because life inside is the only life they know ~ the only place they fit in.

I hope your love and the smiles of his grandbabies are strong enough to bring him all the way back 'home'. And keep him there.

Beautiful words for your friend, BE. You DO this stuff, boueeeyyy! :)

BY FAITH

PRAYERS AND LOVE FROM THE SONS OF THE SON TO
THE SON WILL HEAL HIS SOUL AND KEEP HIM
IN TOUCH WIT THE OUTSIDE
THAT HOUSE HE BE IN IS A NOTION OF SELF
EXPLOSION......I WISH HIM WELL IN RETURN
PRAYIN' AS U BLOW YA FLOW DOWN THIS ROAD
I WALK IN.....BEAUTIFUL
