See I wasn't a gangsta
I just had it bad
I just need you to listen
Take walk in my shoes
I smoked a blunt or two
And wouldn't take it back, I did what I knew
I hit the block
I was stabbed but never shot
I was a gully dude
Gang Banging was a way a life
It was a family too
You see I fought to live
Surenos, bloods and crips
I got some war wounds 
Angry all the time 
And almost never in a happy mood
My moms raised me
Like i'm guessing yours raised you 
Was Angry at my pops
Why
He never came through
So lets back up just a bit
See I grew up as a kid
Not knowing a good example to follow to begin 
My dad went to jail when I was 5 months old
And I admit
The other men in my life
Abused my mom and her kids
It was sick
And I was dying just to live
I was 11 when it really fell apart
Picture this
11 years old smoking drinking and watching porn 
Things never were the same
And destruction was the norm 
But when I got to high school 
I felt bred for the streets
We started a local gang 
200 plus of us in Colorado Springs 
From shoot uts
To drive by's
School was out on my time
I didn't abide by 
To many rules 
And I pitted the fool 
Who would ever cross us 
I just had to be cool
But really I was just lost
And my identity was marred 
And If I took my clothes off 
I could  show you some scars
From being physical abused 
And get stabbed in my arm 
Your heart gets hard 
From all the pain that you see
The pain that you feel 
The pain that shoots up in your heels  
Because you've walked this long walk 
In a short amount a years 
Listen, I wasn't a thug
I was lost and in mud 
I was dirty, desperately needed to be clean 
And I just needed a little love 
See I felt abandoned 
Like am I not good enough 
I hated men and struggled with the man that I'd become

I struggled with acceptance 
Gang banging eased my depression 
And I was taught a prayer at night gets you into heaven
But I found God 
Matter Fact 
He found me in the mess
That I created to escape the loneliness I was feeling 
See I said I found God 
Matter Fact 
He found me in the mess
That I created to escape the loneliness I was feeling 
HE SAVED ME
And remade me 
Took me from so crazy, hazy, lazy, hatred filled teen 
Who really was just a baby
So much life in me to live 
And I lived like I was in the Navy
Surrounded by tons of guys 
And going under 
I waste deep 
I was sold out you couldn't pay me
To sell out 
There was no maybe 
But God rescued me from death, a jail cell
HE SAVED ME
I changed because I allowed Him 
To come and replace the
Things inside of me
I couldn't change but tried changing
I gave up and gave him my life as you can see
And He can do the same for you cause that's just what he did for me
