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
