I Made A Mistake

It's hard to breath and hard to run,
When your lungs blackened
Coughing up blood under the sun,
Asking what the fuck happened
Chewin' crushed Marlboro and C,
With hip-hop playin' like a real G
Now I can blame the product in the movies,
From commericals to Scarface in a jacuzzi
But now I'm living it,
Damn how I wish I never took that first cigarette

I made a mistake

I knew she was a virgin when I first met her,
She wore stockings and a Catholic School sweater
Her mum told her she could do better than a criminal,
A seventeen year-old psychotic trying to be lyrical
I never meant to break her heart or fuck up her life,
But I was careless, instead of treating her right
I saw her in the club again, stripping and I wondered,
If I could have made her life different

I made a mistake

When I was young I got signed to a record label,
The deal looked so fucking good on the table
It paid for the cable, cribs, cars and jewelry,
There was nothing that they wouldn't do for me
Except they screwed up my publishing and royalties,
How could they do that, I thought there was loyalty

I made a mistake

I joined the army for money to go to college,
They didn't pay me a quarter of what they promised
Extended my tour by four months like a sucker,
That's the reason we go AWOL motherfucker
Don't give me speeches about how you love me,
When you send me to Iraq in a shitty armored Humvee

I made a mistake

WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES, LEARN FROM THEM
