One minute It was just another night Daylight, wake up Go through the next day Will you survive? You don't know so really you've got to pray Down in the hoods The rules of the streets The dark times are hard you don't know where to start First be real to our women Treat her like a lady Cause there is so much you'd better know before you'll leave it Crack baby Wait to hell or paradise now who decides You lived your life in the past and now you'll pay the price Chorus In the night In the dark There are shadows in my heart Feel this pain which is driving me (incredibly insane) In the mirror of the street There's so much for you to see Just one minute to think about your lie Now you're sitting (lay back) Straight jackets and handcuffs all around Waiting for a second chance just to get back (to down town) The ghetto didn't seem so tough I'll tell u that that it is (out laws) Living your life with drug addicted kids Worldwide Cash rules the things around me There's someone else who still loves you It's your own family You're just a victim of the street slipped down like (a hurricane) I told ya take a minute to erase the pain Chorus In the night In the dark There are shadows in my heart Feel this pain which is driving me (incredibly insane) In the mirror of the street There's so much for you to see Just one minute to think about your lie Bridge If you can feel the last of your tears Take a minute cause the end is so near Things will never gonna change Thinking about this wicked game A faded memory Deep in your mind is the place to be Chorus In the night In the dark There are shadows in my heart Feel this pain which is driving me (incredibly insane) In the mirror of the street There's so much for you to see Just one minute to think about your lie (repeat to fade)
