Retired White Louisville Battle Rapp Artist from 1989-1993. Made a small compilation of my favorite songs I've written. No fancy recording, not trying when a Grammy. But if you pay attention to the lyrics their quite deep.

Story behind the song
It's about how drug addiction held me captive for years and as a result of my actions to support that addiction the State Prison system held me captive also.
Lyrics
Held Captive Ten flat is what I’m facing with a PFO Markin’ dayz on my calendar makes my time go slow So I just let the dayz pass not keeping track of my time Cause I’ma be down for a minute as a result of my crimes Recollecting on my thoughts of events that took place Employee’s scared stiff worried looks on their face I was snatchin’ up loot and jettin’ back to the car Caine on my brain made my actions bizarre I’m held captive by this demon that possessed my mind An exorcist was in need to leave this devil behind One night of insanity is all that it took Now my minds on my money but my moneys on my books Things have changed it’s kinda strange I’m use to life on the streets I’m being timed when I eat, never served real meat No releases from my dorm staring at four brick walls My hands have got the shakes I’m going thru withdrawals Not only from the drugs and bottles of alcohol My partna’s and my girly, I miss’em all I keep hearin’em page me but someone’s on the phone My mind must be on low-cell there’s nobody home Them hits of LSD that I did way back when Their makin’ me have flashbacks I’m trippin’ again County orange on my body, ID band on my wrist Court dates in my future with no charges dismissed A court appointed PD, I’m trying to cop a plea Don’t want no twelve member jury drop a bomb on me Liftin’ weights, getting swole, shotin’ ball, playin’ bones Addin’ up good-time till I make parole It sounds so easy but will it happen that way I ask for wisdom from above every night when I pray Flashbacks of my crimes interrupting my sleep So I spend a lot of time writing home to my peeps Put my thoughts down on paper to get’em out of my head But more thoughts collect so that ideas dead I’m held captive by this demon that possessed my mind An exorcist was in need to leave this devil behind One night of insanity is all that it took Now my minds on my money but my moneys on my books I’m next in line for that phone, waitin’ to call home Talkin’ to my brother Larry see what’s going on What’s poppin’ off in the hood, tell me it’s all good Well I’d like to talk longer only if I could So I’m back to my bunk grab a pen and pad I continue writing memories of the things that I had A seven- nine Monte Carlo that sat on the ground Front seat full of switches, back seat full of sound My pager blowin’ up like the World Trade Center Girls stalkin’ me at every club that I entered Pocket full of cash, plenty gold on my chest But those days have passed like the wild wild west Ya see later on in life I met the devil himself At first he did me right but then he took all my wealth I met him in the form of powder and I was sniffing him tough Then he soon turned to crack and messed my whole life up I’m Held Captive Written by: Ben Ambers January 1998
