2Pac - Resist The Temptation (Original Version) lyrics

Resist the temptation of the beast
You slip and loose your grip
And forever fall asleep
The venom is contagious
Be wary of it's spell
What you thought would be heaven
Turns out to be hell i wonder if she knows
The devil's taking off her clothes
Deep into her soul, slow, now he's in control
Poppa's doing worse
A victim of his deadly curse
Wouldn't be the first
To leave the ghetto in a hearse
Oh and how it hurts
The children pay the biggest price
Never get the chance to grow
Up with a happy life blame it on the rock
But we know that's a bunch of crap
Someone from the top
Supplying us with plenty crack
Keep 'em in a daze
Don't let them see the other way
Let 'em all get paid
Won't live to see another day
See, they never got a breath of the sunshine
Now the kid's addicted and only
Hit it one time
We're destined to be dead as a nation
Don't let it come to this
Resist the temptation

Gamble for your soul with the devil
You wonder how low, can you go
Before you finally reach the lowest level
As everybody sit and stares
There's no use looking in your eyes
Cause there isn't anybody there
And though it may make you wanna cry
Got you stealing from your family and
You don't even know why
I guess you think they'll understand
You feel cold
Cause you sold your soul to the dopeman
Oh now there's no turning back, in fact
It's decided
That would live and die for the crack
You got no friends cause you cheated 'em all
Feel lonely, low, defeated and small
No one was there when I took the wrong path
And nobody'd care if I died in a blood bath
But is this my destiny?
Tell the lord they got my mind
But he can have the rest of me
Cause I'm ready to end it all
One bullet to the brain
Forgive my sins and all
I didn't mean to be a bother
A failure as a son, a husband and a father
I wish I could turn back the time
Go back and find, why I let it crack my mind
And my only explanation, it came to this
Resist the temptation
