HOOK
THERE AIN'T NOTHING THAT DON'T GO ON
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN IN MY TOWN
ON A DAILY LIFE CAN GET SO CRAZY
THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS IN MY TOWN
IN MY TOWN YOUR TOWN
THERES SO MANY TYPES OF PEOPLE ALL AROUND
NOW DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES
YOU NEED TO SEE WE'RE ALL THE SAME INSIDE
_____________________________________________________________________
IN MY TOWN THE SUN DON'T ALWAYS SHINE RAIN FALLS
ANOTHA DEATH IN THE STREETS IS WHAT THEM SIRENS CALL
CHALK IT UP TO THE GAME INSANE I CAN'T CONTAIN THE PAIN
EMOTIONS SO STRONG I PRAY JUST SO I CAN MAINTAIN
ANSWERS THEY SEEM SO FAR FINDING IT HARD TO HOPE
MONEY FOR WAR THERE IS WHILE HERE I AM GOING BROKE
I KNOW THE DAY WILL COME WHEN PEACE WILL RULE ON EARTH
UNTIL THEN I FIGHT THE URGE TO ONLY PUT MYSELF FIRST
I'VE BEEN STUPID SHOOTING OFF MY MOUTH ACTING CRAZY
NOT GIVING A DAMN CUZ TO ME THIS WORLD'S BEEN SHADY
DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THE PERSON THAT I'VE BEEN
WISH I COULD TURN BACK TIME DO LIFE OVER AGAIN
HOOK
IN MY TOWN SEEMS THERES ALWAYS DRAMA TAKING PLACE
IF IT AIN'T ONE THING IT'S ANOTHER ALL UP IN YOUR SPACE
I'VE SEEN RETALIATION HOOD TO HOOD WATCH YOUR BACK
NEVER KNOW IF THIS DAY WILL TURN OUT TO BE YOUR LAST
AND IT'S HARD SOMETIMES FOR ME TO STAY TOLERANT
I DON'T AGREE WITH CERTAIN THINGS BUT I CAN'T BE IGNORANT
CUZ IT'S OUR DIFFERENCES THAT MAKE ONE AND ALL UNIQUE
SEE ITS HATING ON EACH OTHER THAT MAKES THIS WORLD WEAK
I'VE LEARNED THAT ITS TRUE THERE'S ALWAYS A PRICE TO PAY
FOR ALL THE THINGS WE DO AND EVERYTHING THAT WE SAY
ITS CHANGE THAT WE NEED TO STOP TURNING ON EACH OTHER
START TO LOOK AT EVERYONE LIKE A SISTER OR A BROTHER
NO MATTER WHAT WE THINK NO ONE IS BETTER THAN THE REST
AND WE'RE ALL ALIVE IN THESES TIMES OF GREAT DISTRESS
YES THIS WORLD IS HOME TO ALL FOLKS NO MATTER WHO OR WHERE
DON'T GIVE UP ON FINDING PEACE ONE DAY WE'LL ALL BE THERE
HOOK
IN MY TOWN THERE'S WAY TOO MUCH PAIN ON THE STREETS
MANY VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE WILL THE KILLING EVER CEASE
WILL ANYONE STAND UP SPEAK OUT MAKE A CHANGE
OR WILL WE WATCH OUR FUTURE DESTROYED BY EVIL THINGS
YA I KNOW WE'LL SEE A BRIGHTER DAY BUT STOP WAIT
IS IT TRUE THAT ITS HARDER TO LOVE THAN TO HATE
I'VE HAD HOMIEZ GET SHOT SOME LIVED SOME DIED
I'VE HAD HOMIEZ GET MARRIED AND OTHER HOMIEZ DO TIME
SOME FRIENDS HAVING BABIES A LITTLE TOO QUICK
WHATS DONE IS DONE AND THEY LEARN TO MAKE THE BEST OF IT
STILL OTHERS I KNOW CONTINUE ON THE SAME OLD GRIND
ON A DAILY A REASON TO SMILE CAN BE HARD TO FIND
AND WE ALL NEED UNITY IN THESE DAYS TO BE CARING
LOVED NOT FORGOTTEN ARE THE VICTIMS OF SEPTEMBER ELEVEN
WE CAN'T FORGET THOSE WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE
CUZ TODAY MIGHT BE THE DAY THE REAPER KNOCKS AT YOUR DOOR
