A problem is what I called it
On the streets is where it started
I never planned for it to go this far
I thought one hit would get me as a high as a star
But it left me wanting more
My lungs and chest were what became sore
I began to need it every day
I was so scared I began to pray
Every day I asked for God's Forgiveness
I knew he was the only one to pull me away from this mess
I got so paranoid I thought he was putting me through a test
I was failing, I can't let the weed leaving my spirit resting
This can't be something I can't get over
It's time for me to remove the bird off my shoulder
I told myself it was time to stop
Ever since then I've climbed my way to the top
Now I'm everything I knew I could be
I'm more than just me...I'm FREE!!
I Asked For God's Forgiveness
A Problem
