Various Artists - Southtown lyrics

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 it drive me to hate Could I 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 You're in the southtown, you know that kid don't play Put it down on 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 You're in the southtown, you know that kid don't play Put it down on 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, cause these times are getting tough Tomorrow's gone and its 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 You're in the southtown, you know that kid don't play Put it down on 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 You're in the southtown, you know that kid don't play Put it down on 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 Make us pay, make us pay Make us pay, make us pay Welcome to southtown, you know that kid don't play Put it down on 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 You're in the southtown, you know that kid don't play Put it down on 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 You're in the southtown
