DOWN ON MY KNEES TRYING TO PRAY
AS A TEAR COMES DOWN MY CHEEK
AND ON TO MY LIPS IF FADES
WISHING ALL THESE BAD THINGS WOULD GO AWAY
BEING LONELY IN THIS WORLD
WITH NO ONE TO TRUST
GANGSTA'S DOWN THE BLOCK PREPARING TO BUST
DOING DRIVE-BY'S AND GETTING KILLED
YOUNGSTA'S GETTING TRAINED TO STEAL
BREAKING INTO PEOPLE'S HOUSES AND THIS TRUTH IS REAL
DOWN ON MY KNEES CRYING BEGGING FOR IT TO END
SPEEDING AND ALCOHOL DONT MAKE THE BEST TEAM
CAN'T YOU ALL SEE THAT DRUNK DRIVING IS KILLING YOUNG TEENS
YOUNG GIRLS PROSTITUTING THEMSELVES
TRYING TO MAKE MONEY THE FAST WAY
WITHOUT CARING TO GET AN INFECTION
YEARS LATER LOOKING IN THE MIRROR AT THEIR REFLECTION
THIEFS GETTING CAUGHT AND GOING TO PRISON
WOMEN GETTING RAPED SHOULDN'T BE A DECISION
IT'S NOT WORTH THINKING ABOUT, IT SHOULDN'T BE DONE
TEENS LOOKING FOR JOBS, SOME SELLING DRUGS
COMING HIGH TO SCHOOL, WITH NOTHING TO DO
THINKING ITS THE CORRECT PATH WHEN IT'S THE WRONG ONE
DOWN ON MY KNEES STILL CRYING HOPING IT WILL ALL END SOON
