I had to lose myself to find the truth Rehab nights brought me back to life Every shake, every fight I faced Was a step to a better place Withdrawal after withdrawal, I made a steady pace I promise I’ll find my way. Withdrawal hit like a violent wave Every second I had to stay brave Body shakin’, mind at war But I knew what I was fightin’ for Sleepless nights to the day outs The stressed out moments to stay loud That serenity prayer I swear sings every hour. I got clean for me and my kids, Promised I would change, Steadily I made my way, One hard step at a time I know I’d whine, Every tear, every fall, brought some serious hauls Built the strength to stand up tall My promise for my soul to keep For my kids to see them smile For them to know love in every life That mama is is gonna make it worth while Meth tried to take me out the game Tried to burn me in its flame But I walked out, I broke free Dropped it like it never meant anything I couldn’t handle the pain it given me That ain’t the end of me Cold floors, sleepless nights Facin’ all my inner fights No more runnin’, no escape Facing every single obstacle every day Never crashing never failing Just me and the inner mess I made I chose life when death was near Faced my pain, faced my fear But I built a clearer view Of the person I grew into The strength and the fight Built me into who is bright Clean mind, clear sight I’m finally livin’ right Nothing holding me down Ain’t nothing gonna change me now No more chains holdin’ me I’m exactly who I need to be Never bowing down ever again Setting down the addiction trail Now I walk with purpose now, Walking strong with grace around Every step where I belong I’ll vow to never do wrong I ain’t goin’ back again That’s a war I already win I got clean, I got free Now my kids can look at me Not as broken, not as lost But a parent who paid the cost Vowing to them forever and infinite That I’ll never go back to that place, I set my foot bro freedom soil My love will never be forgotten I shall give it back to them, now I’m here again, I didn’t just get clean… I came back to life Setting down the evil fight It’s not a once a time fling It’s an every day thing, I am BlackBandit
