From jail to mentor Video (MV)

Cold steel bars, concrete walls closing in
Mistakes piled high, where do I begin?
Young and lost, caught up in the game
Now doing time, no one else to blame
Days blend together, nights feel long
Reflection time, realizing what went wrong
Education calling, a second chance
Time to rewrite my life's advance
From the cell to the classroom
Breaking cycles, dispelling gloom
Knowledge is power, books my new tools
Turning pain into wisdom, no more fools
From jail cell to role model
Transforming life, full throttle
Mistakes don't define, they refine
Now I'm here to help others shine
Release day came, world seemed new
Determined to prove, my change was true
Job applications, doors slamming shut
But persistence paid off, no ifs or buts
Found my calling in youth outreach
Sharing my story, lessons to teach
Gained trust slowly, proved my worth
From seedling of change to new rebirth
From jail cell to role model
Transforming life, full throttle
Mistakes don't define, they refine
Now I'm here to help others shine
Streets still call, temptation's always there
But purpose guides me, showing that I care
For kids walking paths I once knew
Offering hope and a different view
In community centers, schools I speak
Inspiring the lost, empowering the weak
My past, a powerful teaching tool
Showing real consequences, keeping it cool
From orange jumpsuit to mentor's role
Guiding young minds, that's my goal
Each life touched, a victory won
The work's not easy, but it must be done
From jail cell to role model
Transforming life, full throttle
Mistakes don't define, they refine
Now I'm here to help others shine
So listen up, if you're feeling trapped
Your story ain't over, it's just a chapter wrapped
From bars to breaking barriers, change is real
Your past shapes you, but doesn't seal
Your future's open, redemption's possible
From jail to mentor, anything's probable
Rise above, reach back, lift as you climb
Your journey can inspire for a lifetime
So listen up, if you're feeling trapped
