Intro

Main Verse: welcome to hard times, back again like its never been ' for the first time it seem to mess with my head ' when i realize what it takes, can i relate ' whith whatever, but never will it drive me to hare ' could be the 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

Pre Chorus

Chorus: here in the Southtown you know that kid dont 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

Main Verse: 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 tounge get loose ' and when push comes to shove, im not used to walking away ' i keep looking up, because these times are getting tough ' tommorows gone and its the same old song ' father fill my cup, give me strength to power up ' a life to shine, youre on the diamond in this rough

Pre Chorus

Chorus: here in the Southtown you know that kid dont 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

Bridge it aint gost to be like this ' dont wanna throw up my fist ' dont wanna be like this ' dont wanna throw up my fist' i must resist


Bridge Cont.

Chorus: here in the Southtown you know that kid dont 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
