Damn, a ride to my block My block, that's heh on my motherfuckin' block
They got a nigga sheddin' tears, on my past fears shit was hectic for me last year 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 that are in the cemetery Shit is scary, how on black crime legendary But at times unnecessary, I'm gettin' Teardrops and caskets, the three strikes law is drastic And certain death for us, ghetto
What can we do when we're arrested, but fire? Life in the pen for me, 'cause I'd rather die But don't cry through your I wonder if the still cares, for us niggaz on welfare And who if we survive The only time notice a nigga is when he's clutchin' on a four five My neighborhood the same 'Cause all these little babies goin' And they sufferin' in the game and I swear it's a trap But I ain't given up on the hood, it's all when I go back Hoes me love, niggaz give me props Forever 'cause it don't stop on my block
Livin' is but a dream Hard is all we see On my Every block is kinda But on our block we still But on our we still play
Now shits constantly hot, on my block, it never to be gunshots Can't a mother's pain, when her son drops Black male slippin' in hail, when we prevail? Fearin' jail but crack sales got me livin' And the system's suicidal with this life Stayin' strapped forever strapped in this drug God help me, 'cause I'm starvin' get a job So I resort to violent my life is hard Can't sleep 'cause all the dirt my heart hurt
Put in work and shed tears for my dead Mislead from childhood I went astray Till this day I still pray for a way Can't help but feel hopeless and the start I felt the racism '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 alone out on my own I close my eyes and picture on my block
Livin' life is but a Hard is all we see On my Every block is mean But on our block we play But on our we still play
And I can't help but wonder why, so many kids had to die Caught strays from A.K's in the by Swollen pride and homicide don't Brothers cry for broken lives, mama inside 'Cause our is filled with danger Used to be a close knit community but now we're all strangers changes us to stone them crack pipes All up and down the exterminatin' black life But I blame the dealers
My mama's welfare check has the next man chrome wheels Shits real, I you feel, my tragedy A mother with a problem child, daddy free Hangin' out pickin' up game, sippin' liquor Gamin' the hooches, hopin' I can get to with her It's a man's world, strapped of a nigga livin' phat, but held back Pipe dreams can make the seem hopeless Wide eyed and focus on my block
life is but a dream Hard is all we see On my Every block is mean But on our block we still But on our we still play
And block parties in tha projects lastin' way past A young learned to break night 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' will make a lazy nigga slip and fall, miss his call I know the young understand this Growin' up in this world everythin' is scandalous I on tha fast times, past crimes
Tryin' to cop a slice of pizza with my dime Can't explain just what me to this dirty game Gold some extra change, and the street fame And what's is everybody knows my name they all know me And lots of cash make a nigga I hit the just to maintain, feelin' pain For all the niggaz that I to the game from my block Thats
Livin' life is but a times is all we see Rest in peace to all the muh'fuckers who away Every block is mean From all the blocks I'm from But on our we still play
One street, Seventh Avenue, New York, Uptown Know I'm sayin? But on our we still play 183rd and Walt, my block, right But on our we still play and Morningside, my block, that's right But on our block we play
