I remember way back when I was 14

Doing wrong got me into custody

Thought my future was bright but I couldn’t see

Only God truly knew my destiny

Got my court dates and I still wasn’t acting right

Still roaming the streets and still getting into fights

The cops caught me again and caught me slippin

Gave me another chance put me on house detention

I never was alone even though I had to isolate

Had these demons on my shoulder telling me to violate

So I left that night and the dude watching me

Caught up with my homies and did a lick, and a robbery

Went to court the next day knowing something wasn’t right

Still had the positivity I’m going home tonight

Went before my judge he was about to let me go home

Dude busted through the door and said Reynolds something wrong

Dude reaches into his pocket and shows the DA his phone

At that moment I knew I wasn’t going home

I was sent to jury so you know I was locked up

Had me in the cold cells so I was cuffed

But here is the part that’s really messed up

One day my family comes in for a visit

Says this would of never happened if you didn’t violate house detention

Mom I’m sorry I don’t wanna see you cry

My dad say she crying because the word out is people wanna see you die

What you mean I have my family living in fear

Having grown men knock knock on my door asking does Shaun live here

Thanking God I was locked up

But I was wondering what would have happened if I wasn’t locked up

Time went by and 6 months went thru

It was time to go home something new to do

I took my deal so I was on probation and house arrest

Judge told me not to violate but I knew I had to pass the test

Couldn’t go home so I was ducking of my grandma house

I know I was putting her in danger but there were no in and outs

Just had to do my time even though I was scared

For the next 3 months, we was talking how to get me outta here

After 3 months the brace finally came off

Both my parents got their jobs transferred talking to their boss

Outta panic, they was talking about going to Italy or France

My parents suggested Florida that’s how I got my second chance
