From the girl in my dreams
And I knew about the hood
Had a little baby.
Life was all good
I got a call
There’s something was wrong
Next thing I know I was back to my old ways
Doin` it till they came and took me away
Now everything I worked for is gone (gone)
Oooh.
Wish I woulda turned away
I will still be free today
it don`t pay to be the hero
Oooh shoulda looked into my baby`s eyes
Before I took another mans life
It don`t pay to be the hero
(Oooh) There`s nothing I can say to bring it back
I lost it just like that
I wish that we could turn around
Ooh. there`s nothing I can say to bring it back
I lost it just like that
I wish that we could turn around
Don`t know why I worked so hard to let that life go
I was mad. wasn`t thinking about my family at home
And how much they depended on me
Now I`m looking at 20 years no parole.
I`m not going to get the chance to see my baby grow
And what`s he going to think about his daddy (daddy. ooh)
CHORUS]
Bridge]
So many nights I don`t sleep (nights I don`t sleep)
Cuz I think about the things that I`ve seen ( things that I`ve seen)
There almost really
Driving me crazy
Instead a piece of glass separates my family from me (Oooh)
Chorus]
Oooh.
Wish I woulda turned away (wish I woulda turned away)
I will still be free today
Sometimes it don`t pay to be the hero (don`t pay. noo)
Oooh shoulda looked into my baby`s eyes (looked into my baby`s eyes)
Before I took another mans life
It don`t pay to be the hero (don`t pay to be the hero)
(Oooh) There`s nothing you can say to bring it back
You lost it just like that
I wish that we could turn around (I wish I coulda turned around. yehh)
Ooh. there`s nothing you can say to bring it back
You lost it just like that
I wish that we could turn around
Ending]
From the girl in my dreams
And I knew about the hood
Had a little baby.
Life was all good
Then I got a call
If something was wrong…
