New Life

I came from a big family, i was always begging for attention

But now all I try to do is to get rid of this glorified tension

 

I was lost in the darkness i couldn't find my way out

I knew i had hit a wall, i never had a damn doubt

 

I was the youngest, always getting my self in trouble

getting in fights before i could even grow a stubble

but the blessing was in the struggle, hope was emerging thru the rubble

 

But i picked up a basketball and began to dream

The hope i found when i played, it was my new theme

The game of basketball, she was my beloved queen

I had found my way back to the light/and i would stay clean

 

This ballgame saved me it was my well needed intervention

it helped alleviate my well documented tension

I began to see the future and i set up a pension

 

I began to see life in a new way, i learned to pray

I new i had to stay on this path i know i couldn't stray

left my issues in the past/ every day is a new day

 

I was blind and lost/ but being blind isn't a condition its just a decision

I decided to make success my mission, regardless of my condition

Now with my basketball in hand i can recognize my amazing vision

And now i begin my journey as i depart on my god given mission
