They got a sheddin' tears, reminiscin' on my past fears 'Cause shit was for me last year It appears I've been marked for death, my heartless breath The underlyin' cause of my arrest, my life is And no rest forever weary, my eyes stay For all the brothers are buried in the cemetery Shit is scary, how black on crime legendary But at times unnecessary, I'm worried Teardrops and closed caskets, the three strikes law is And certain death for us, ghetto
What can we do when we're arrested, but open Life in the pen for me, 'cause I'd rather die But cry through your despair I wonder if the Lord still cares, for us niggaz on And who cares if we The only time they notice a nigga is when he's on a four five My neighborhood ain't the 'Cause all these little 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 good when I go Hoes showin me love, give me props hope 'cause it don't stop on my block
Livin' is but a dream Hard is all we see On my Every block is mean But on our we still play But on our we still play
