Southtown Lyrics by The Ghost Inside

Punk Goes 90's, Vol. 2

2014

[Verse 1]
Welcome to hard times
Back again like it's never been, for the first time
It seems to mess with my head
So when I realize what it takes, can I relate?
With whatever, but never will you drive me to hate
Could be the next guy
That you take before I wake?
Now I lay me down to sleep, eyes tight when I pray
This here is real life
Circumstances make you think
Should I be counting my blessings
The next second my eyes blink

[Chorus]
Here in the southtown, you know that kid don't play
Put it down on the streets, will I see another day?
If I make it back this time, got to hold what is mine
And thank god that I made it alive
Here in the southtown, you know that kid don't play
Put it down on the streets, will I see another day?
If I make it back this time, got to hold what is mine
And thank god that I made it alive

[Verse 2]
One love it's easier said than done
Can I rise above everything that's in my way?
Like words you say, you let your tongue get loose
And when push comes to shove, I'm not used to walking away
I keep on looking up, because these times are getting tough
Tomorrow's gone and its the same old song
Father fill my cup, give me strength to power up
A life to shine, you're the diamond in this rough

[Chorus]
Here in the southtown, you know that kid don't play
Put it down on the streets, will I see another day?
If I make it back this time, got to hold what is mine
And thank god that I made it alive
Here in the southtown, you know that kid don't play
Put it down on the streets, will I see another day?
If I make it back this time, got to hold what is mine
And thank god that I made it alive

[Bridge 1]
Don't wanna throw up my fist
It ain't got to be like this
Don't wanna throw up my fist
I must resist
Don't wanna throw up my fist
It ain't got to be like this
Don't wanna throw up my fist
I must resist
Don't wanna throw up my fist
It ain't got to be like this
Don't wanna throw up my fist
I must resist
Don't wanna throw up my fist
It ain't got to be like this
Don't wanna throw up my fist
I must resist

[Bridge 2]
It ain't got to be (like this)
It ain't got to be (like this)
It ain't got to be (like this)
It ain't got to be (like this)
Life doesn't got to be like this (like this)
Life doesn't got to be like this (like this)
Life doesn't got to be like this (like this)
Life doesn't got to be like this
Like this

[Chorus]
Welcome to Southbay, you know that kid don't play
Put it down on the streets, will I see another day?
If I make it back this time, got to hold what is mine
And thank god that I made it alive
Here in the southtown, you know that kid don't play
Put it down on the streets, will I see another day?
If I make it back this time, got to hold what is mine
And thank god that I made it alive

[Outro]
Here in the southtown
