Juvenile Trap

Started life in Juvenile Correctional
Wasn't a thug nah wasn't criminal
Just hungry so I took what I could
Caught in the trap misunderstood

Lost my teeth first night in the cell
They twisted broke me put me through hell
Felt like a nightmare no way to escape
Lost my best friend to that deadly fate

Juvenile Trap Juvenile Trap
Life caged up no turning back
State-issued clothes hope on hold
Juvenile Trap where stories unfold
Juvenile Trap Juvenile Trap
My life's grid no way to retract
Isolation strong world on mute
Juvenile Trap my dark pursuit

Learned a lot since that first night
You know the kind of teachers in that fight
My first sentence turned me wrong
Off the path made me strong

Learned to smoke learned to drink
Learned to live on the brink
Citizen folks I grew in that trap
My life derailed no way back

Juvenile Trap Juvenile Trap
Life caged up no turning back
State-issued clothes hope on hold
Juvenile Trap where stories unfold
Juvenile Trap Juvenile Trap
My life's grid no way to retract
Isolation strong world on mute
Juvenile Trap my dark pursuit

Dark days rough nights every lesson learned
Hard ways tough fights respect earned
Juvenile life shaped who I became
A soldier in this game can't break the chain

Out in the streets but the system's grip
Every move every turn a sinking ship
Trapped in the cycle can't seem to break
Juvenile life a heavy stake

Juvenile Trap Juvenile Trap
Life caged up no turning back
State-issued clothes hope on hold
Juvenile Trap where stories unfold
Juvenile Trap Juvenile Trap
My life's grid no way to retract
Isolation strong world on mute
Juvenile Trap my dark pursuit
