Out of Reach
I am an extreme Los Angeles
Money green fiend
I dedicate this scream to my two kids
Aborted when I was eighteen
I didn't mean to be addicted to crack & crystal
But that was then, this is now
So tell me how I can make it better
Today and every day
I pray to the Lord
To please cushion your fall from your mother's womb
Into his tender arms
I apologize son & daughter for any harm
I may have caused you & your mother
Life is an addict
Clucking my dreams to the pipe
As you force me onto frontline street
It shocks me how minutes of pleasure
Can create years of pain
Decision-making is for sane parents
Not for little boys
Money & time were two things I needed then
But are now just excuses
They were out of my reach
I was in my way
So please forgive me
Because I'm destined to be
A responsible parent
Someday
