Damn, a ride to my block My block, that's heh on my motherfuckin' block
They got a nigga sheddin' tears, reminiscin' on my fears 'Cause was hectic for me last year It appears that I've been for death, my heartless breath The underlyin' cause of my arrest, my is stressed And no forever weary, my eyes stay teary For all the brothers that are in the cemetery Shit is scary, how black on crime legendary But at unnecessary, I'm gettin' worried and closed caskets, the three strikes law is drastic And certain death for us, bastards
What can we do when we're arrested, but fire? in the pen ain't for me, 'cause I'd rather die But don't cry through despair I if the Lord still cares, for us niggaz on welfare And who if we survive The only they notice a nigga is when he's clutchin' on a four five My neighborhood ain't the 'Cause all these little babies goin' And they sufferin' in the game and I swear like a trap But I given up on the hood, it's all good when I go back 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
Now shits hot, on my block, it never fails to be gunshots explain a mother's pain, when her son drops Black male slippin' in hail, when will we jail but crack sales got me livin' well And the system's suicidal with this thug's strapped forever strapped in this drug life God help me, 'cause I'm can't get a job So I resort to robberies my life is hard sleep 'cause all the dirt make my heart hurt
Put in work and tears for my dead peers Mislead childhood where I went astray this day I still pray for a better way Can't help but hopeless and heartbroke From the start I felt the 'cause I'm dark Couldn't quit the bullshit me represent Hit the bar and the star everywhere I went In my heart, I felt alone out on my own I my eyes and picture home on my block
