[00:46.87]Welcome to hard times, back again like its never been
[00:50.00]For the first time it seem to mess with my head
[00:52.76]When i realize what it takes, can i relate
[00:55.78]With whatever, but never will it drive me to hate
[00:58.84]Could be the next guy that you take before i wake
[01:01.99]Now i lay me down to sleep, eyes tight when i pray
[01:04.94]This her is real life, circumstances make you think
[01:08.06]Should i be counting my blessings, the next second my eyes blink
[01:11.86]
[01:16.98]Here in the southtown you know that kid don't play
[01:19.96]Put it down it the streets, will i see another day
[01:23.41]If i make it back this time, gots to hold what is mine
[01:26.74]And thank god that i made it alive
[01:28.89]Here in the southtown you know that kid don't play
[01:31.98]Put it down it the streets, will i see another day

[01:38.65]And thank god that i made it alive
[01:40.98]
[01:41.40]One love it's easier said than done
[01:44.19]Can i rise above anything that gets in my way?
[01:47.21]Like words you say, you let your tongue get loose
[01:50.42]And when push comes to shove, i'm not used to walking away
[01:53.02]I keep on looking up, because these times are getting tough
[01:56.22]Tomorrow's gone and it's the same o' song
[01:58.95]Father fill my cup, give me strength to power up
[02:02.28]A life to shine, you're the diamond in this rough
[02:05.84]
[02:11.03]Here in the southtown you know that kid don't play
[02:14.07]Put it down it the streets, will i see another day

[02:20.80]And thank god that i made it alive
[02:23.30]Here in the southtown you know that kid don't play
[02:26.09]Put it down it the streets, will i see another day
