It was just another night
Daylight wake up go through the next day
Will you survive you don`t know
So you really gotta pay
Down in the hood
The rules of the streets are dark
Times are hard
You don`t know where you start
First be real to our woman
Treat her like a lady
`Cause there`s so much
You better now know
Before you leave a crack-baby
Way to hell or paradise now
Who decides
You lived you live in a fast lane
Now you pay the prize
Chorus:
In the night... in the dark
There are shadows in my heart
Feel this pain
Which is driving me incredibly insane
In the mirror of the streets
There`s so much for you to see
Just one minute
To think about you life
Now you sittin` layback
Straitjackets handcuffs all around
Waiting for a second chance
Just to get back to downtown
The ghetto didn`t seem so tough
I tell ya that it is outlaws livin` there
Live as drug addicted kids
It`s worldwide cash
Rules the things around me
There`s someone outside who still love ya
It`s our own family
You`re just a victim of the streets
Slipped down like a hurricane
I told you take a minute
To erase the pain
Chorus
If you can feel the last of our tears
Take a minute `cause the end is so near
Things will never gonna change
Thinkin` about this wicked game
Of faded memories
Deep in your mind
Is the place to be
Chorus (2x)
Look into the darkness
The way of loneliness
Look into the darkness
