Streets of Pain

East side St Paul, West side St Paul
North Mini-app, South Mini-app
East side St Paul, West side St Paul
North Mini-app, South Mini-app
East side St Paul, West side St Paul
North Mini-app, South Mini-app
East side St Paul, West side St Paul
North Mini-app, South Mini-app

Over time we've changed
Nothing stays the same
Streets filled wit pain, people fall'n like rain
Stre-stre-streets filled wit pain, people fall'n like rain
Over time we've changed
Nothing stays the same
Streets filled wit pain, people fall'n like rain
Stre-stre-streets filled wit pain, people fall'n like rain

Its LES, I must confess, that place I was raised, and I know the best
I'm a capital city Boy like superman I wear it on my chest
I take a breath, I look around my city, and I see death
What's next, more death, more mothers cry'n over closed caskets
This madness, that east side pride got turned backwards
We keep kill'n each other, what is it we even after
We could go get our masters or become some hood pastors
And raise our kids right, instead of lead'm to they disasters

East side St Paul, West side St Paul
North Mini-app, South Mini-app
East side St Paul, West side St Paul
North Mini-app, South Mini-app
East side St Paul, West side St Paul
North Mini-app, South Mini-app
East side St Paul, West side St Paul
North Mini-app, South Mini-app

Over time we've changed
Nothing stays the same
Streets filled wit pain, people fall'n like rain
Stre-stre-streets filled wit pain, people fall'n like rain
Over time we've changed
Nothing stays the same
Streets filled wit pain, people fall'n like rain
Stre-stre-streets filled wit pain, people fall'n like rain

I remember block parties, and everyone would have a yard sale
Cats cook'n burgers and dogs, I still remember the smell
Trunks open, bass bump'n, slick rick tails
Everyone just haven fun, and be'n themselves
Now all that's lost, cats too clicked up, to be diverse
The fear of get'n merked, keep people from don yard work
From to many fall'n sons and daughter on hood t-shirts
The truth hurts, but somebody gotta bring the hood to church

East side St Paul, West side St Paul
North Mini-app, South Mini-app
East side St Paul, West side St Paul
North Mini-app, South Mini-app
East side St Paul, West side St Paul
North Mini-app, South Mini-app
East side St Paul, West side St Paul
North Mini-app, South Mini-app

Over time we've changed
Nothing stays the same
Streets filled wit pain, people fall'n like rain
Stre-stre-streets filled wit pain, people fall'n like rain
Over time we've changed
Nothing stays the same
Streets filled wit pain, people fall'n like rain
Stre-stre-streets filled wit pain, people fall'n like rain

Now that devil wouldn't be try'n so hard, given us these scares
Try'n to keep us apart, behind bars, send'n us to prison yards
If the Lord, didn't have a plan, for the inner city that was large
And part of His plan, is just to bring peace to His people, that are scared
Choose! to be that change in the city, and just pray
Choose! to get on your knees and say, change my ways
Choose! to get back up, and lead those that are astray
Choose! to live a life, that says Jesus Saves
Jesus Saves
