Next Chance

(First night in Clarksville)

Here I am at a new place in a new time

Keeping a few old habits just to remind

Myself of my past, and where I come from

And the strings of hell from which I would frequently strum

Look at who I was and now who I am

Think of all the pounds of weed me and my boys use to slam

Think about the times you stuck the gun to your head

Think about all the times that you wished you were dead

Now try and believe the amount of dirt that I did

Now try and imagine the same guy growing up and having a kid

And think about all the friends that you know in the pen

And try and believe your whole life has been nothing but sin

Now maybe you know who I am and what I’ve been through

Now try and tell me no one can do what I do

I believe people can change under certain circumstance

You can do it yourself; you just need to change your stance

Some people get blinded by their pride and their back-stabbing peers

Some get blinded by the drugs or those imported beers

Just like I get overcome by anxiety and guilt

By the past that I paved and the future I’m trying to get built
