One Minute

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
