One minute

It was just another night
Daylight, wake up
Go through the next day
Will you survive?
You don't know so really you've got to pray
Down in the hoods
The rules of the streets
The dark times are hard you don't know where to start
First be real to our women
Treat her like a lady
Cause there is so much you'd better know before you'll leave it
Crack baby
Wait to hell or paradise now who decides
You lived your life in the past and now you'll pay the price

Chorus

In the night
In the dark
There are shadows in my heart
Feel this pain which is driving me (incredibly insane)
In the mirror of the street
There's so much for you to see
Just one minute to think about your lie

Now you're sitting (lay back)
Straight jackets and handcuffs all around
Waiting for a second chance just to get back (to down town)
The ghetto didn't seem so tough I'll tell u that that it is (outlaws)
Living your life with drug addicted kids
Worldwide
Cash rules the things around me
There's someone else who still loves you
It's your own family
You're just a victim of the street slipped down like (ahurricane)
I told ya take a minute to erase the pain

Chorus

In the night
In the dark
There are shadows in my heart
Feel this pain which is driving me (incredibly insane)
In the mirror of the street
There's so much for you to see
Just one minute to think about your lie

Bridge

If you can feel the last of your tears
Take a minute cause the end is so near
Things will never gonna
Thinking about this wicked game
A faded memory
Deep in your mind is the place to be

Chorus

In the night
In the dark
There are shadows in my heart
Feel this pain which is driving me (incredibly insane)
In the mirror of the street
There's so much for you to see
Just one minute to think about your lie

(repeat to fade)
