Every time I open my eyes I see a dangerous world outside, I'm seeing babies cry Because their moms and dads They just fight all the time And then the baby grows up And then he gets into crime
Because roll models are his friends, They're stealing cars just to get their kicks And forced to sell drugs to make ends meet But now he's in debt, gonna meet his end, Gotta get that cash to live a week again
He's turned his back on realways of thinking He's sacrificed what he wanted the most, So the debit from lies deceit and deception Will always just get to him
He's fallen to his knees, he needs you You're just broken Just take away his pain, forgive him You can't do this anymore
Soon a gun in his hand Too scared to go out Paranoia sets in cocked and ready to bout Just waiting for a knock on the door Or a tap on the shoulder One pull of the trigger, now he's over
Now he's 6 feet under, Over him stands his brother, Just a kid of 14, already a part of the team Ready to live life to the rules of the street, In a couple of years, he'll be up on his feet
Nearly living the dream, Never accepting defeat, Always pushing himself To make his money quick, Now a baby on the way And he's only 17 Goodbye to mom and dads home, His new place is pristine Now the times are great And the baby's just born They've already settled 7 months in the home Made the promise for life to stay together And grow old and give the best to his kid So she's made and not sold
But that ain't the way It'll all work out because Your dad gets shot and dies When you're only 5 You'll never know the man That looked at you with such pride You're mother is depressed And she's fucked up on drugs She's gonna slit her wrists Over the man, she loved And leave you all on your own And you'll go to a foster home, Living life always anting to know If you're gonna follow suit and let yourself go
He's fallen to his knees, he needs you You're just broken Just take away his pain, forgive him You can't do this anymore (2x)
