Beware of what's around you The elements of life will sometimes take you in Bad things always surround you It's your choice now, it's time to think
Crime is easy to come by And temptation is bound to bring you down Corruption distorts your judgment And it seems you can't trust no one now
Thinkin' to myself There's a price to pay Is it worth the pain The pain of someone taking your life away?
Saying to myself There is a better way It's not worth the pain The pain of someone takin' it all away
Memories are here to remind you Learn from your brothers, don't make their mistakes Trouble will somehow find you It's your choice, choice to contemplate
Crime don't pay in the long run Money ain't worth the risk of death or jail I'm not judging no one I'm just thinkin', talkin' to myself
Thinkin' to myself There's a price to pay Is it worth the pain The pain of someone taking your life away?
Saying to myself There is a better way It's not worth the pain The pain of someone takin' it all away
