I'm not.... me!


Juni grew up in the streets but neva had real problems,
and anything he got into he knew how to solve them
Dilemmas that arised as results to his deeds.
Plus he knew that from everything he sowed he would reap.
So he stayed out of trouble just as much as he could
and in fact, man he did pretty good
but at 25, grown and on his own
,since 17 the mothers coupe was flown,
and his whereabouts was barely known.
How to care for anything but himself was never shown,
so he rarely stayed in contact with home.
So Juni grew up not caring, never sharing, straight selfish
He blamed everyone else for his problems, hard to tell it's
you that's thats the cause, till you've had a chance to pause,
to reflect on everything that you neglect and ever lost
and never knew that you missed till it was gone.
And things are never really better when you're inside that greener lawn.
So I got my chance to get down, pray, to sit down 7 months and one day.
They say....that I'm arrested for not being me
and they slapped on a forgery charge first degree.
Now I'm no goody two, and I done my share of dirt
but this one here really hurts.........
Juni missed his childs birth, and for what its worth his whole life.
Two snakes, a dog, a house, daughters and his wife........
All gone by the time that he emerged from behind a wall of bricks
and it all started from some $#!% that he never did!
So how do you go from everything to nothing and get back?
If you know........................I need you to tell Juni that!
So I've learned about Karma in my cell, now I'm free
maybe in a way it's good I'm not....the old....ME!
