2pac Resist The Temptation Lyrics

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
