GHETTO COMMISSION - Devil's Playground lyrics

rate me

The Ghetto Commission would like to welcome you to the ghetto

where an idle mind is the devil's workshop

and the motherfucking streets huh

the streets is the fucking devil's playground

[verse 1]

father forgive me for the wrong I've done

but I was high, my brain was numb

I ain't meant for him to die

the bullet traveled when he grabbed the barrel

what made the gun go off [gunshot]

who made this simple robbery and murder charge

I'm still at large but it's like

my soul's on lock down i'm having trouble

sleeping having visions of my victim I can hear him speaking

telling me how many kids he had

reminding me how many kids I left without a dad

it got me feeling bad

fucking with this white girl

cause I'm off into this world

got my nose the color of a pearl

I'm on my knees pleading my case to my only true judge

hoping he doesn't hold a grudge against a thug

so I repent with the intent of saving my soul

trying to dodge the place where sinners go down below

where the demons at, where niggas screaming at

where niggas fiend for ice water like it's crack the devil's habitat

[chorus]

why............are we trapped in the devil's playground

why............are we trapped in the devil's playground

why............are we trapped in the devil's playground

why............are we trapped in the devil's playground

[verse 2]

6 in the morning, nigga yawning

I grab my keys to get some joes

I started driving, but surprising hell this corner store was closed

my pockets low and my tank on empty

the game of life it's starting to tempt me

I pray to god to be my guide but being a hoodlum niggas in me

I pulled up quickly on the wootay I told him freeze, but it was slowly

a broke ass nigga ain't worth a fuck a little something my poppa told me

as I pushed his hands in the mud

he muttered black man show some love

I popped him one time in the shoulder [gunshot]

I told your bitch ass not to budge

boy don't make he have to split ya for your issue son I'll kill ya

I saw 2 white boys on the corner screaming

"look he shot that nigga" breaker breaker

I'm hearing sirens with this nigga bleeding badly on the pavement

laws approaching shouting freeze so I broke off in the breeze

I saw a japanese american with his kid I'm bout that nonsense

I stash his g's and took him hostage

as he screamed you got no conscience

I'm surrounded by blue cowards

and I'm off dark blue in powders

I should have stayed my ass in bed

I might have lived to see tomorrow

[gunshot]

[chorus]

[verse 3]

father can you help me

I got demons inside of me

I ain't living wealthy

so I'm scheming a robbery

black thick and suited up

black chucks booted up

if you see me creeping, don't test my rounds just give it up

if you snooze, then you lose the ghetto blues made me choose to act a fool

out my two to take it all from your shoes to your cools

there ain't no rules, so I suggest you cooperate

if you don't participate in my come-up then call the surgeon to operate

I'm ducked off in the shadows with double barrel in hand

I see my victim approaching he don't know he's my man

you blink your eye and you die he made a move with for his waist

no time to waste you sealed your fate I let one fly to his face [gunshot]

checkin his pocket for profit and on his waist was a pager

if I knew you wasn't strapped wootay, I wouldn't sprayed ya

now my souls on the banners, I think I just tipped the scale

I stole an innocent life walking the stairway to hell

[chorus]

dog I'm telling you we already trapped in the devil's playground

half of us in jail

the other half that's not in jail

they on they way to hell

so who's to say who's right and who's wrong

even the preacher singing the devil's song

TSO, NO LIMIT major players
