Southtown

Welcome to hard times Back again like it's never been, for the first time It seems to mess with my head So, when I realize what it takes, can I relate With whatever? But never will you 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, guess the whole world is mine And thank God that I made it alive 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, guess the whole world 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, 'cause these times are getting tough Tomorrow's gone and it's the same old song Father fill my cup, give me strength to power up A life to shine, you're the diamond in this rough 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, guess the whole world is mine And thank God that I made it alive 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, guess the whole world is mine And thank God that I made it alive Make us pay, make us pay Make us pay, make us pay Life doesn't gots to be like this Life doesn't gots to be like this Life doesn't gots to be like this Life doesn't gots to be like this Like this Welcome to Southbay, 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, guess the whole world is mine And thank God that I made it alive 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, guess the whole world is mine And thank God that I made it alive Here in the Southtown
