As I Look Into My Life

(As I look into my life) (Searching for that paradise) Oh Lord, will you help me find me Take this crazy, crazy past of mine And put it all behind me Look down on the ghetto man And change his mission And put it in the hearts of many To stop confusion (As I look into my life) (Searching for that paradise) We need to moan for love My sisters, brothers Let's put these hands together (As I look into my life) We need to stop chokin' on the truth (Searching for that paradise) And start smokin' on a plan Man love and respect that woman And bring her happiness (As I look into my life) I'm talkin' to the ghetto (Searching for that paradise) For each other we should help While our babies are dying in the street We've got to be saying to ourselves (As I look into my life) (Searching for that paradise)
