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 (out laws)   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 (a hurricane)   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 change   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)
