For decades he has been in prison in his own mind
His past haunted him, smiles left behind
Emotionally tormented, several months locked away
Negatively affected his career and health, the price he pay

Frequently traveling overseas
Fraudulently using aliases
A gifted artiste that sings
Fled what drug sentence brings

No more evading authorities he outline
Extradition contest he decline
Did the crime, serve the time, gained knowledge
Now he’s busy signaling his crossing of the bridge

Singing Nah go a Jail again
He strongly proclaim
Ready to get his singing career back on track
So relieved that the proverbial monkey is off his back
