Southtown - The Ghost Inside

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 it drive me to hate

Could I 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 blessings

The next second my eyes blink

You’re in the southtown, you know that kid don’t play

Put it down on 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

You’re in the southtown, you know that kid don’t play

Put it down on 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

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, cause these times are getting tough

Tomorrow’s gone and its the same old song

Father fill my cup, give me strength to power up

A life to shine, you’re the diamond in this rough

You’re in the southtown, you know that kid don’t play

Put it down on 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

You’re in the southtown, you know that kid don’t play

Put it down on 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

Make us pay, make us pay

Make us pay, make us pay

Welcome to southtown, you know that kid don’t play

Put it down on 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

You’re in the southtown, you know that kid don’t play

Put it down on 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

You’re in the southtown
