Verse 1:
I was just a kid when I first went astray
Caught up in the streets, making bad choices every day
But my family never turned their backs on me
They took me in, showed me love, helped me see
Chorus:
I've done some violent bad stuff, put me in the pen
But my cousin, aunties, and uncle, they're my true friends
They know my past, but they're helping me mend
From the way I was raised, to a better end
Verse 2:
I was raised in the struggle, surrounded by crime
But my family showed me a different way to climb
Now I'm on the right path, leaving the past behind
Thanks to their love and support, I'm starting to shine
Chorus:
I've done some violent bad stuff, put me in the pen
But my cousin, aunties, and uncle, they're my true friends
They know my past, but they're helping me mend
From the way I was raised, to a better end
Bridge:
I'm grateful for the chance to have a good life
To break free from the cycle of pain and strife
I owe it all to my family, for believing in me
Now I'm on the rise, living out my destiny
Chorus:
I've done some violent bad stuff, put me in the pen
But my cousin, aunties, and uncle, they're my true friends
They know my past, but they're helping me mend
From the way I was raised, to a better end
Outro:
I'm getting better, I'm on the right track
Thanks to my family, I'm never looking back
I'm grateful for their love, their unwavering support
I'm breaking free, rising up, holding down the fort.
