Devil's Playground

Mean Green

featuring The Commission




the ghetto commission would like to welcome you to the ghetto



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)



what made this up a robbery and murder charge



I'm still at large but it's like my souls 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
