No Man's Ground
D.K. / S.K. Lyrics

Just got your last letter in the mail all the way from
Blythe, California, cell block 'J-1'
It's my brother's birthday and he's trying not to hate cha
But pops, all he got was some ink and paper
Calling a special number like I'm hanging with ya
Passing the phone from me to my brother and sister
Fuckin' pissed but I try not to diss ya
I don't know if I'd punch ya or say I'd miss ya
If you were out soon, I'd take a while to earn your trust
Probably never forgive you for the shit you done to us Abandoning your girl and kids for a quick pay
Then going to prison, leaving us this way
Our mom's a junkie, we not even with her
Whether she overdosed, we don't even know for sure
Fortunately, we're with family and doing well
But not sure I want you free or rot in Hell.
Now we're long gone and I waited too long
Want to find my way home but I don't belong
Now we're long gone and I waited too long
Want to find my way home but I don't belong
It's month 3 and year 4
After all this time, don't even know me anymore
Can't fuckin' believe those assholes bailed
That was a full proof plan that couldn't fail
They had nothing to lose, I had 3 kids
Could've made ends meet but now I got nothing to give
I'm so sorry, I'm missing your birthdays
First walks, schools and holidays
Just tried to make our lives a bit better
I tried to keep this family closer together
Hope you forgive me if I make it outta dodge
I promise I'm a change my life, I'll find God
Whatever it takes, do it all for you
For your mother, sister and little brother too
I'll make it to you, I swear I will
Just gotta make it out and hope I don't get killed
Now we're long gone and I waited too long
Want to find my way home but I don't belong
Now we're long gone and I waited too long
Want to find my way home but I don't belong
It's been 10 years and now we all grown
Through the bullshit, we now make it on our own
We only ever saw you with shackles in prison
Only in our dreams, where we made a living
Time has passed now, you got grandsons
You should've seen them, they're so sweet and handsome
You were still there for the worse or better
I still got all my old birthday letters
The family is still in good spirits
Somewhere out there, I hope you hear this
I guess in another way you are now free
No need to worry about work, emotion or disease
When you left jail, heard you married again
Heard she was the love of your life, your best friend
You being locked up, we may not have been the same
But you're always apart of me, that's never gonna change
Now we're long gone and I waited too long
Want to find my way home but I don't belong
Now we're long gone and I waited too long
Want to find my way home but I don't belong
