to the father that has given me birth,
have i been cursed on the streets of satans turf?
or have i been blessed to pass the test
to live for today, and take one more breath?
"oh say can you see..." this misery
this black girl has come to see in this land of liberty?
i've been living my life at the roll of the dice that
may pay the price that may cost my life.
low and behold, the bell has tolled,
its craps i've rolled.
now i sit in this hell, in an 8x10 cell
with a story to tell in jail.
heavenly father i come to you to see what you can do
to make me anew..........amen
