The Commission - Devil's Playground lyrics
The ghetto commission would like to welcome you to the ghetto Where an idle mind is the devil's workshop And the motherf**ing streets huh The streets is the f**ing 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) What made this up a robbery and murder charge I'm still at large but it's like my souls 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 f**ing 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 n***as screaming at Where n***as 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, n***a 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 n***as in me I pulled up quickly on the wootie I told him freeze, but it was slowly A broke a** n***a ain't worth a f** 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 b**h a** not to budge Boy don't make he have to split ya for your issue Son I'll k** ya I saw 2 white boys on the corner screaming look he shot that n***a Breaker breaker I'm hearing sirens with this n***a 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 a** 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) Bucking his pocket for profit and on his waist was a pager If I knew you wasn't strapped wootie, 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
