P.O.D. - Southtown

Welcome to hard times, back again like it’s never been For the first time it seem to mess with my head When I realize what it takes, can I relate With whatever, but never will it 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 her is real life, circumstances make you think Should I be counting my blessings, the next second my eyes blink [Chorus:] Here in the Southtown you know that kid don't play Put it down in the streets, will I see another day? If I make it back this time, got’s to hold what is mine And thank God that I made it alive 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 tongue get loose And when push comes to shove, I'm not used to walking away I keep on looking up, because these times are getting tough Tomorrow's gone and it's the same o' song Father fill my cup, give me strength to power up, A life to shine, You're the diamond in this rough [Chorus:] It ain't got to be like this Don't wanna throw up my fist, don’t wanna be like this Don't wanna throw up my fist, I must resist
