as I walk the streets of this golden place
the people look at my horrible face

I dont belong in this city of greatness
cause my life was filled with hateness

It dont matter if I was forgived
I shouldnt of been the way I lived

they should send me straight down to hell
the way my life went I should of fell

Never mind I see them coming
Im so scared my heart is drumming

Please dont bring me to that firey place
I dont want to see the devils face

Please just give me one last chance
or at least give me one last glance

Quite a sad lament, however the fact that this individual recognises the wrong path he/she's taken means that there's hope that he/she can change.
I would change these lines:

"I don't belong in this city of greatness
cause my life was filled with hateness"

Instead of hateness, I try hatefulness, and:

"It don't matter if I was forgived
I shouldnt of been the way I lived"

This doesn't have to rhyme...you could say forgiven instead of forgived.  You could also say I shouldn't have lived the way I did.  

Maybe you are trying to achieve something that I haven't caught on to, but I feel that your poem will read easier if you adjust these things.

Good writing.  I look forward to reading more.
