Never Again
by Kenny Parr
So you think it's fun and games
you see me smiling when they offer me death
but actually I'm smiling to cover up pain!
Walk the halls back to my cell, frustrated with pain tears from hell!
One drop, two drops fall to the ground
a river of endless tears, my past I'm not proud!
Thinking, will my life ever cross freedom again
or will I dwell in this secret hell,
forced to sin!
Thinking of my family, friend and other love ones
wishing I could die,
pull the trigger of my own life's gun!
Some times I wake up and think that I'm home
just to be sadly mistaken that, that world is gone!
I was 18 years old, my life went down the drain
dream of being successful, all went up in flames
never again will I saying life's a game!
Tears Me Apart!
by Kenny Parr
I know what ever I lost on the outside
I can keep forever inside
And what ever they do to keep me
will be the thing that sets me free
I know that as long as I can dream
I can spend time with the ones I love
Some mite think that a dream
is not as good as a kiss or hug
from some one you love
But every kiss and hug from my past
helps me to dream of the things
that are true in my heart
There's not enough tears to cry
or words to be said
that can stop this pain in my heart
but it's the pain that keeps me together
and at the same time tears me apart.
Not
Ready
that feeling in your stomach
that lump in your throat
that voice in your head shout
that keeps your mind steady
my borrowed time
my borrowed day
my borrowed night
my borrowed lady
that cager feeling
that exciting thought
that beautiful lady
that keeps you steady
my times come
my minds shady
it's the end
I'm not ready

Same Man
Changes
in this world with ghetto pain
ain't nothing changed but the anger, that in my brain
With wall's all around me, I'm going insane
but what I'm trying to say is "I'm still a man."
There's a war going on and I'm in the middle
and the next to get a date, to meet the needle
dieing too young is what you see in me,
in the state's they call "the land of the free"
so how can I say that I still stand tall
when the death of my father
is what built the surrounding walls,
bottled-up anger, down and depressed
potential danger from anger, a mind needs rest.
Looking for love, loyalty and friendship to test,
the only love was my father
who now lays and he rest
I get tired of the mess
of who's race is the best.
I toss and I turn of nightmare that I burn
knowing that my time is at an end, it's my turn
with broken knees and broken legs
in the end, I will stand
to all my brothers and sisters
I'm still the same man.
