risky business

See I've always been down to ride
If I had a good chick ill keep her by my side
Ill keep her on my sight im jealous yes sometimes,
But I thought it'll be alright
I know that im not perfect, but the love and care sure is worth it
They say nothing is for certain except the pain when you are hurting.
I moved to new york from DR when I was 19 years old,
This was the land of opportunity as I have been told,
Not too long after I met the mother of my kids,
She had one from the get go,
I raised him yes I did
I provided for my fam because I was the man
Spent most of my life down south in the sun
Falling deeper in love with my son then after came my daughter and again another son.
It felt good to provide for my wife and be a father
And though the career path I chose was highly illegal
You know I didnt bother
Damn I should've just listened to my mother.
I devoted my life to the streets since the day I arrived at the scene
Had that white for sale
And smoked up on that green
Big money and happiness csme between,  but what i didn't know was this..
That in our crew it would be our own boy to be a bitch and snitch
Got locked away and after a few years my wife just walked away,
No she didnt stay..
I had my kids but far away,
They had to deport me back because I committed a felony,
I couldnt believe it when they were telling me
Had my complete focus like judges at a spelling bee,
So much guilt and sorrow had to dwell on me.
And if I do the crime I gotta do the time,
With so much on my mind peace was hard to find.
many years have passed,
im engaged now,
yes I have a past but the past is who made me.
life is just crazy.
im going to get remarried and possibly have a baby,
This time around ill be around and be in my childs life til im at least 80..
We all learn from our mistakes thats a given, but the choices we makes will shape the life we'll be living.
