Problems by Romaine Gordon

-Problems-
One, Two, Three Thousand problems
Your problems is waking up - thinking who gonna walk the dog and cut the yard
My problems is going to rec - thinking one of these cats or dawgs gonna get they face cut in the yard
While you writing checks out to pay the bills
I'm sitting in the law library typing congress to pass this bill
You watching OZ thinking this show is real
I live in OZ thinking only if you knew how phony these actors was for real
You got married and all the guests agree that reception was loving
I seen marriages in here and walked off thinking this shit is disgusting
Your defender is Land Rover
My defender is public - that's a Jeep and I bet it do a better job representing me in a court of justice
To relieve your stress - you come home to a nice queen
To relieve my stress - I go back to the block get a fifi - baby oil and a couple magazines
rushing to work in traffic - you tell your boss - it's a miracle that you made it
While at the same time I'm telling niggaz it's a miracle if I get this funking sentence vacated

Incarcerated for: Cocaine Conspiracy
Release Date: November 2008
Sentenced to: 10 years

From South Jamaica Queens, former product of my environment, this is my first time and (hopefully) last time incarcerated.
I hope maybe I can say some things to inspire the people who don't know what we go through or been through on a day to day basis.
Hopefully, some of the younger ones can take my story and learn from it. I have no kids and I been locked up almost all of my 20's. I would love to be able to come home and make a smooth transition into society. This is no place for anyone and I wouldn't wish this on even the people that gave me the time. One of the worst pain is emotional- so you can just imagine the feeling of not wanting to wake up tomorrow or take you next breath. I thank the Lord for relieving me of thoughts like this and guiding me to the light at the end of the tunnel.
So if I could stop just one more person from making my mistakes I feel I am on the right track but you know one is too little and a thousand is never enough.
Stay Up!!!!
