Go back and let it find why I let it crack my mind
See they never got a breath of the sunshine
What you thought would be heaven, turns out to be hell
Now the kids addicted and only hit it one time
Someone's at the top supplying us with much crack
Got you stealing from your family and you don't even know why
The venom is contagious, beware of its spell
It's decided that would live and die for the crack
No one was there when I took the wrong path
Let 'em all get paid, won’t live to see another day
You wonder how low can you go before you reach the lowest level
Wouldn't be the first to leave the ghetto in a hearse and oh, how it hurts
I wish I could turn back the time
A failure as a son, a husband and a father
But is this my destiny?
There's no use looking in you eyes ‘cause there isn't anybody there
You feel cold ‘cause you sold your soul to the dope-man
I guess you think they will understand
Blame it on the rock, but we know that's a bunch of crap
And though it may make you wanna cry
You got no friends ‘cause you cheated them all
And my only explanation, it came to this
Gamble for your soul with the devil
As everybody sits and stares
Never get the chance to grow up with a happy life
The children pay the biggest price
Deep into her soul, slow, now he's in control
One bullet to the brain, forgive my sins and all
Keep them in a daze, don't let them see the other way
You feel lonely, low, defeated and small
Poppas doing worse, a victim of the deadly curse
Don't let it come to this, resist the temptation
I wonder if she knows the devil's taken off her clothes
We are destined to be dead as a nation
I didn't mean to be a bother
Now there's no turning back, in fact
‘Cause I'm ready to end it all
Tell the Lord they got my mind but he can have the rest of me
And nobody cared if I died in a blood bath
