It was just another night
Daylight
wake up go through the next day
Will you survive
you don't know So you really
gotta pay Down in the hood
The rules of the streets are dark Times are hard
You don't know
where you start First
be real to our woman
Treat her like a lady `Cause there's
so much
You better now know Before
you leave a crack-babyWay to hell or paradise
nowWho decides You lived
you live in a fast lane
Now you pay the prize
Chorus:In the night... in the darkThere are shadows in my heart
Feel this painWhich is driving me incredibly
insaneIn the mirror of the streetsThere's so much for you to see
Just one minuteTo think about your life
Now you sittin' laybackStraitjackets
handcuffs all aroundWaiting for a second
chanceJust to get back to downtown
The ghetto didn't seem so toughI
tell ya that it is outlaws livin' there Live as drug addicted kids
It's worldwide cashRules the things around me
There's someone outside who still love yaIt's our own family
You're just a victim of the streetsSlipped down like a hurricane
I told you take a minuteTo erase the pain
ChorusIf you can feel the last of our tearsTake a minute 'cause
the end is so nearThings will never gonna
changeThinkin' about this wicked game
Of faded memoriesDeep in your mindIs
the place to be
Chorus (2x)Look into the darknessThe way of lonelinessLook into the darkness
