LYRICS:
Welcome to hard times, back again like it's never been, for the first
time, it seems to mess with my head, So when I realize what it takes
can I relate, with whatever, but never, will ou drive me to hate, Could
be the next 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 lessings the next second my eyes blink
Here in the Southtown, (hey)you know that kids don't play, Put it down
in the streets, Will I see another day, if i make back this time, gots
to hold what is mine, and thank God that I made it alive, Here in the
Southtown, (hey) you know that kids don't 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, here in the
Southtown, ain't gots to be (like this)(4x times),like this ain't gots
to be like this(4x), don't wanna throw up my fist, ain't gots to be like
this, don't wanna throw my fist, i must resist, don't wanna throw up my
fist, ain't gots to be like this, don't wanna throw up my fist, i must
resist, don't wanna throw my fist, ain't gots to be like this, don't
wanna throw up my fist i must resist,ain't gots to be (like this)(4x),
like this ain't gots to be like this (4x), Like this,(here in the
southtown) like this, Here in the Southtown, (hey) you know that kids
don't 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, Here in the Southtown
