A life forced onto me, I didn't want.
The drugs, the alcohol, the guns, the gangs.
I was the pick to pay off the debt
Once I was in, there was no way out.
No matter how hard I tried, I always failed
I was in a black hole, my own hell;
Screaming for someone to hear me, to help me.
Scratching the walls until I bled, there was no escape
This is what I got for playing God
Taking the lives of those who never paid.
A bullet through their head, that's what I did.
I shed no mercy and now I suffer my consequence.
Their blood on my hands, I'll always regret.
Everywhere I look, they appear next to me
I'm in a black hole I can never escape.
