Damn, take a to my block My block, right heh on my motherfuckin' block
They got a nigga sheddin' tears, reminiscin' on my past 'Cause shit was hectic for me last It appears that been marked for death, my heartless breath The cause of my arrest, my life is stressed And no rest forever weary, my eyes teary For all the brothers are buried in the cemetery Shit is scary, how black on crime legendary But at times unnecessary, I'm gettin' Teardrops and caskets, the three strikes law is drastic And certain for us, ghetto bastards
What can we do when arrested, but open fire? in the pen ain't for me, 'cause I'd rather die But don't cry your despair I wonder if the Lord cares, for us niggaz on welfare And who if we survive The only time they notice a nigga is when he's clutchin' on a four My neighborhood the same 'Cause all these babies goin' crazy And they sufferin' in the game and I swear like a trap But I ain't given up on the hood, it's all when I go back Hoes showin me love, niggaz me props Forever hope 'cause it stop on my block
life is but a dream Hard is all we see On my Every block is kinda But on our we still play But on our block we still
Now shits hot, on my block, it never fails to be gunshots Can't a mother's pain, when her son drops Black slippin' in hail, when will we prevail? jail but crack sales got me livin' well And the system's suicidal with this life Stayin' strapped strapped in this drug life God help me, 'cause I'm starvin' get a job So I resort to violent robberies my life is Can't sleep all the dirt make my heart hurt
Put in work and shed tears for my peers Mislead from where I went astray Till this day I pray for a better way Can't help but feel hopeless and From the start I felt the 'cause I'm dark Couldn't quit the bullshit make me Hit the bar and the star everywhere I went In my heart, I felt out here on my own I close my eyes and picture home on my
Livin' is but a dream times is all we see On my Every is kinda mean But on our block we play But on our block we still
And I can't help but wonder why, so many young had to die Caught strays A.K's in the drive by pride and homicide don't coincide Brothers cry for lives, mama come inside 'Cause our block is with danger Used to be a close community but now we're all cold strangers changes us to stone them crack pipes All up and down the exterminatin' black life But I can't the dealers
My mama's welfare check has brought the man chrome wheels real, I know you feel, my tragedy A single mother with a child, daddy free Hangin' out up game, sippin' cheap liquor Gamin' the hooches, I can get to sleep with her It's a world, stayin' strapped Fantasies of a livin' phat, but held back Pipe dreams can the night seem hopeless Wide eyed and focus on my block
Livin' is but a dream Hard is all we see On my Every block is mean But on our block we still But on our block we play
And block parties in tha lastin' way past daylight A young nigga learned to break Used to fight with my homies but they stuck in the pen I send 'em ends, but tough on a friend In my mind I see the motherfuckers ballin' Alcohol will a lazy nigga slip and fall, miss his call I know the young understand this Growin' up in this world where everythin' is I reminisce on tha fast times, crimes
to cop a slice of pizza with my last dime Can't explain just attracts me to this dirty game Gold chains some extra change, and the fame And what's is everybody knows my name Swear all know me And lots of cash a nigga change I hit the green to maintain, feelin' pain For all the niggaz I lost to the game from my block right
Livin' life is but a Hard is all we see Rest in peace to all the who passed away Every block is kinda From all the that I'm from But on our block we play
