where an idle mind is the devil's workshop
 and the motherfucking streets huh
 the streets is the fucking 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)
 who made this simple robbery and murder charge
 I'm still at large but it's like
 my soul's 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
 fucking 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 niggas screaming at
 where niggas 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, nigga 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 niggas in me
 I pulled up quickly on the wootay I told him freeze, but it was slowly
 a broke ass nigga ain't worth a fuck 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 bitch ass not to budge
 boy don't make he have to split ya for your issue son I'll kill ya
 I saw 2 white boys on the corner screaming
 "look he shot that nigga" breaker breaker
 I'm hearing sirens with this nigga 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 ass 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)
 checkin his pocket for profit and on his waist was a pager
 if I knew you wasn't strapped wootay, 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
