Check, check, checkBeware of what's around you
The elements of life will sometimes take you in
Bad things always surround you
It's your choice now, it's time to thinkCrime is easy to come by
And temptation is bound to bring you down
Corruption distorts your judgment
And it seems you can't trust no one nowThinkin' to myself
There's a price to pay
Is it worth the pain
The pain of someone taking your life away?Saying to myself
There is a better way
It's not worth the pain
The pain of someone takin' it all awayMemories are here to remind you
Learn from your brothers, don't make their mistakes
Trouble will somehow find you
It's your choice, choice to contemplateCrime don't pay in the long run
Money ain't worth the risk of death or jail
I'm not judging no one
I'm just thinkin', talkin' to myselfThinkin' to myself
There's a price to pay
Is it worth the pain
The pain of someone taking your life away?Saying to myself
There is a better way
It's not worth the pain
The pain of someone takin' it all away
