Southtown Lyrics

Southtown lyrics

Welcome to hard times, back again like it's never been for the first time

it seems to mess with my head

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



CHORUS

Here in the southtown, you know that kid don't play

Put
it down in 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 everything
that's 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 it's
the same ol' song

Father fill my cup, give me strength to power up

a
life to shine, you're the diamond in this rough



[CHORUS]



Don't wanna throw up my fist

Dont wanna be like this

Don't wanna
throw up  my fist

I must resist



it ain't gots to be

it
ain't gots to be

it ain't gots to be

it ain't gots to be (like
this)

like this it gots to be like this (like this)

like this it
gots to be like this (like this)

like this it gots to be like this (like
this)

like this it gots to be 

like this 



[CHORUS]
