Leaves change the rivers freeze and life to a brand new boy.
Freedom comes to mind not a care in the world for nothing but a toy.
Easy times dad is gone but still a peaceful heart.
A little older grow up son and the end is soon to start.

Years pass the tide turns moneys hard be a man.
Mothers crying wont stop I just dont understand.
All these feelings so lost and confused.
All these paths and roads which one do i choose.

Night has set in the time is near a man Im soon to be.
The ground is warm the souls have gathered my heart begins to see.
Stars shoot across the sky so a wish I will take.
All the things I dont understand a life can you make.

People die friends hate the world suffers and lifes not great.
All these years been confused now Im here in a rotten place.
Someone comes knocking at my door.
A man stands in black one I've never seen before.

Voice trembles hands shake how can I help you I said to the man.
Help me you cant but you we'll see tell me son whats your plan.
Lifes been hard a lot of mistakes.
Come with me a new life is here for you to take.

Confused with doubt turned outside in under the sun it all sounds great.
He shows me a world shows me the truth and whats at stake.
Family first be repsectful do some crime make a deal.
We'll have your back until the end with this son your blood will seal.

Pressure pursues doubt thickens what in society do I have to lose.
Freedom is a lie truth is feared only to myself do I owe any dues.
Life is short and the brain is full with a lot of decisions.
In your family I choose to serve Santo i accept the position.

Lifes hard societys backwards patriots to this nation still cowards.
Parents watch there soldiers die there plot begins to sour.
Cops and Criminals are the only ones watching the streets.
Alone they stand while the others live and eat.

Good means bad bad mean good a snitch I am not.
So I made a wish and the truth is what i got.
A star is on my chest a boy is in my past.
Times are better ruthless than ever but im a man at last.

Old gets older young never dies the same decision I would make.
My family I put first even if my life to take.
Never doubted dont regret a single moment in my life.
Thank you Boss for giving me peace every single night.
