Southtown |
Welcome to hard times, back again like it’s never been |
For the first time it seem to mess with my head |
When I realize what it takes, can I relate |
With whatever, but never will it drive me to hate |
Could be the next guy that you take before I wake |
Now I lay me down to sleep, eyes tight when I pray |
This here is real life, circumstances make you think |
Should I be counting my blessings, the next second my eyes blink |
Here in the Southtown you know that kid don’t play |
Put it down in the streets, will I see another day |
If I make it back this time, gots to hold what is mine |
And thank God that I made it alive |
One love it’s easier said than done |
Can I rise above anything that gets in my way? |
Like words you say, you let your tongue get loose |
And when push comes to shove, I’m not used to walking away |
I keep on looking up, because these times are getting tough |
Tomorrow’s gone and it’s the same o’song |
Father fill my cup, give me strength to power up A life to shine, you’re the diamond in this rough |
It ain’t gots to be like this |
Don’t wanna throw up my fist |
Don’t wanna be like this |
Don’t wanna throw up my fist |
I must resist |
Here in the Southtown you know that kid don’t play |
Put it down in the streets, will I see another day |
If I make it back this time, gots to hold what is mine |
And thank God that I made it alive |
