V.1
They focused on the wrong things –
Man – These Nightmares distort they dreams –
Take it at face value – it is what it seems –
Stripped of all abilities – suffer consequentially –
Strewn on these dirty streets is hypodermic needles –
Liquor bottles broken – surrounded by an evil
That polluted environments – So they resort to crime and then
Get arrested for violence – Twenty Five In the Pen –
Indigent, they broke – So They Forced To Sell Drugs and
Hit Licks with four fifths, anything to eat supper – it’s
The valley of the shadow of death, cocaine and meth
Inhale exhale – the smoke fills they chest –
Bandages the Pain –
Helps em through the flames –
No One Tells em Bout Christ – They feel God’s too far away –
On a one way, highway – leading to Hell’s Gates and
It’s all they know, but you can hear em in the dark praying saying –
HOOK:
If You there Lord hear me – It’s hard out here –
Remove me from these streets, I’m tired of living in fear –
But for now, please forgive me – Need Food On My Plate –
Gotta hit the block again, guess Heaven’s Gon Have To Wait –
Looking at my life now and I see how thing’s have changed –
If I can’t make the world a better place, I live my life in Vain
