Trembling on a city sidewalk
The air so cold I can barely breathe
Stuck in the freezer with the cocaine freaks
And the track mark junkies
You've gotta give up your safety
Before you can surrender your freedom
There's a demon inside your head
And he's challenging you to feed him
Riding riding riding through the night
From the north end to the west side
Cross the river for the front street buy
Lockdown in the county jail
I see you trembling in your cell
While these four walls have helped you realize
A hole consuming you inside
And you'll sit tremble and shake
As you serve out your 90 days
But when the bars swing open there's no freedom inside
You'll hop on the first needle and ride
Riding riding riding through the night
From the north end to the west side
Cross the river for the front street buy
You're a river city rat, a heroine junkie
All the results of a high school flunky
And if I fuck up, it's me not you
Just like Snoop said nigga "sad but true"
Riding riding riding through the night
From the north end to the west side
Cross the river for the front street buy
