I never thought
i would raise my kids in an unsafe place
where even my gunsafe, was unsafe
the kids can't even have a fun day
daddy got drunk and there was gun play

daddy put the gun to his head
pulled the trigger, tried to shoot himself dead
I could have bled
to death, in front of my childrens innocent eyes
and no child needs to see thier daddy die
i could have caused them pain and made them cry
how could i
have brought myself to be that kind of guy
when i
am usually the guy
thats shy, and i try
to take it one day at a time
i give thanks for all thats mine
i need to right my wrongs
cause now its time to shine
