He creates a life for himself
with every stroke of that knife
he knew it would hurt,
but who would've knew, it'd be 25 to life
the gravel pit seemed so far away
i saw the coroner in the driveway
the chief stated his few words then was gone
what about the pain that will still live on?
he lowered his head as he got in that car
he knew they were going to take him very far
one single moment of rage
turned into spending life in a cage
he cried for help for many years
no one wanted to see his tears
this is the path that he has took
in a 6x9 cell where his life is an open book
we all learn what he has lost
although he's not the only one to pay the cost
his wife and child who love him so
cannot seem to let go
i understand his fright
with him, ill be spending 25 to life.
