[Ebm] [Bbm] [B]
[Gb] Resist the [Abm] temptation
This
[Ebm] [Bbm] [B] song will go out to the underground railroad [Ebm] Digital underground
[Abm]
[Ebm] Resist the temptation of the beat
You slip [B] and lose your grip and forever fall asleep
The venom [Ebm] is [Gb] contagious, be wary of its spell
What you [Abm] thought would be heaven turns out to be hell
I [Ebm] wonder if she knows the devil's taking off her clothes
Deep [B] into her soul, soul now he's in control
[Ebm] Pop's doing works, a victim of a deadly curse
[Eb] Wouldn't be the first to leave the ghetto in a hurse
Oh [Ebm] and how it [Bbm] hurts, the children pay the biggest price
Never [B] gets the chance to grow up with a happy life
[Ebm] Blame it on the rock, but we know that's a bunch of crap
Someone [Abm] from the top, supplying us with plenty crap
[Ebm] Keep them in a [Bbm] daze, don't let them see the other way
Let [B] them all get caged, we'll live to see another day
[Ebm] See they [Gb] never got a breath but a sunshine
[B] Now the kids addicted and only hit it one time
[Ebm] We're destined to be dead as a nation
Don't let [Abm] it come to this, resist the temptation
[Ebm] From the pyramid [Bbm] rock to [B] the bottom of the waterfall
Clifton, Lockton, Clifton, [Ebm] Afro
We [Ab] definitely [Gb] need to give up this [Abm] goal
Don't be far and you [Ebm] won't be slow
Running on [Bbm] empty, you ain't gonna [B] go
Running on empty, leave you to [Ebm] go away
We will find nobody, can't ask no
Resist the temptation
Camel for your [Bbm] soul with the devil
You [B] wonder how low can you go
Before you finally reach the [Ebm] lowest level
As everybody sitting stares
[Abm] There's no use looking in your eyes
Cause there isn't [Ebm] anybody there
And though it may make you wanna cry
[B] Got you stealing from your family
And you don't even know [Ebm] why
[Gb] I guess you think they'll understand
[Ab] You feel cold, cause you're so used to the [Ebm] dope man
Now there's no turning back
In fact, [B] it's decided that you would live and die for the [Ebm] crack
You got no friends cause you cheated them all
[Abm] Feel lonely, low, defeated and [Ebm] small
No one was there when I took the long [B] path
And nobody cared if I died in a [Ebm] bloodbath
But is this my destiny
[Ab] Tell the lord they got my [Eb] mind
But he cannot [Ebm] arrest me
Cause I'm ready to end it all
[B] One bullet to the brain
Forgive my sins and all
[Gb] I didn't mean to be a bother
[Abm] A failure as a son
A husband and a [Ebm] father
[Bbm] I wish I could turn [Ebm] back the time
[B] Go back and find why I let it crack my mind
[Ebm] And my only explanation
It [Abm] came to this, resist the temptation
[Gb] Call the pyramid up, goodbye my folks
[B] Call the twist and lock, flip and add [Ebm] roll
[Gb] You've sunk too deep to give up this [Abm] gold
Don't give up and you won't please [Ebm] go
Running on empty, you ain't gonna [B] grow
Running on empty, you ain't gonna [Ebm] grow
We can't let nobody get in that
So resist the temptation
Your death left family behind
Your [B] wife and your son find a gun
And pieces of daddy's mind
[Gb] On the door and on the floor
[Abm] Now her husband is dead
What else is she [Ebm] living for
So now she [Bbm] picks up the gun
[B] Now son is the only one
[Gb] Grows up in adoption [Abm] homes
Gets older, bolder and cold
Cause he's [Ebm] left alone
To him nothing is funny
[B] Mindset on one thing
Making his [Ebm] run
Since I was left with no hope
[Abm] I want money and gold ropes
And so I [Ebm] slang dope
Now I'm the neighborhood dope man
[B] And it's long cause they smoking
I'll never be broke man
[Gb] I live the life of the tribal
[Ab] Following a [Eb] cycle
So I'm just a [Ebm] psycho
But if I [Bbm] had a better life
[B] I would've lived a good life
And did more things right
[Gb] Also resist temptation
[Abm] With all the aggravation
And the [Ebm] frustration
Of living in the ghetto
[B] Your mind gets twisted
Just like a [Ebm] pretzel
So it's time that I check out
[Abm] But one nosy cop
Just won't let me [Ebm] get out
They got me [Bbm] trapped once [Ebm] again
[B] With a choice shoot the cop
Or live life in [Ebm] the pen
I can't stand the frustration
[Ab] Resist the [Ebm] temptation
Fear me pop you
Fire my [B] bullets on you
Whip and lock you
Whip and I [Ebm] throw
We suck you dick you give up this [Abm] gold
Don't keep up and you won't please [Ebm] gold
Run it on empty
You ain't gonna [B] go
Run it on empty
Lead you to [Ebm] nowhere
Because man nobody can last
So be this By temptation
