2pac - Resist The Temptation lyrics

Resist the temptation of the beast You'll slip and lose your grip and forever fall asleep The venom is contagious, beware of its spell What you thought would be heaven, turns out to be hell I wonder if she knows the devil's taken off her clothes Deep into her soul, slow, now he's in control Poppas doing worse, a victim of the deadly curse Wouldn't be the first to leave the ghetto in a hearse and oh, how it hurts The children pay the biggest price Never get the chance to grow up with a happy life Blame it on the rock, but we know that's a bunch of crap Someone's at the top supplying us with much crack Keep them in a daze, don't let them see the other way Let 'em all get paid, won't live to see another day See they never got a breath of the sunshine Now the kids addicted and only hit it one time We are destined to be dead as a nation Don't let it come to this, resist the temptation Gamble for your soul with the devil You wonder how low can you go before you reach the lowest level As everybody sits and stares There's no use looking in you eyes ?cause there isn't anybody there And though it may make you wanna cry Got you stealing from your family and you don't even know why I guess you think they will understand You feel cold ?cause you sold your soul to the dope-man Now there's no turning back, in fact It's decided that would live and die for the crack You got no friends ?cause you cheated them all You feel lonely, low, defeated and small No one was there when I took the wrong path And nobody cared if I died in a blood bath But is this my destiny? Tell the Lord they got my mind but he can have the rest of me 'Cause I'm ready to end it all One bullet to the brain, forgive my sins and all I didn't mean to be a bother A failure as a son, a husband and a father I wish I could turn back the time Go back and let it find why I let it crack my mind And my only explanation, it came to this Resist the temptation
