Verse of the Week: T.I. "You Ain't Missin' Nothing" (dedicated to the Brothers doing prison time)

[Chorus:]
I know the times seem long,
Just try and keep strong
Put on your headphones and rewind this song
Remember you ain't missin' nothin' homes,
I promise you ain't missin' nothin' homes

(verse 1)
My uncle did a decade
Came home, hit the ground runnin' gettin' paid
Like he never did a day
Hit the streets, brothers still in the same place
They was befory you went in the chain gang,
And doin' the same thang
The game go on, you only do two days in thejoint
The day you get locked up, and the day you go home
I know it feels like the world passin' you by,
Like sh_t happenin' every day out there that you don't know 'bout
Everytime you call home your baby momma show out,
And your partners don't even send you flicks from when they go out
But don't worry 'bout it or stress it, cause shawty know what?
The time'll do itself, all you gotta do is show up
Keep layin' down, wakin' up, and thankin' the Lord
And 'fore you know it they gonna open the doors
True story, just prepare yourself for it,
If you ain't got a plan what you need with a secondchance, sh_t, you gonna blow it!
Learn and visualize what you try to do,
And do the time homeboy, don't let the time do you
They say the time just flew on the street,
Hard to believe it from me never
But you'll see soon as youon the streets
