I Was Still Young, Ya Know?
I looked outside the cell
Remembering my teenage days
When I had all the freedom and fun
But was treated like an animal astray.
I drank and partied all night long
Had fun with other boys like me
I made so many grave mistakes
But I was still young you see?
Classes were boring, so I skipped
And have so many grades too low
I made so many grave mistakes
But I was still young you know?
I tried to stop when I turned twenty
But the temptation was just too great and strong
So instead of being a role model to younger people
I ended up in the alley, smoking all day long.
No please don’t blame my parents and teachers
They wanted me to change but I just can’t
They did all they could, begged me to be good,
But sorry guys I will do what I want.
Now here I am stuck in a cell
Because I created so many a crime
I hung my head in shame and embarrassment
Why didn’t I change when I had time?
