Life in the pen ain't for me, 'cause I'd die But don't cry 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 clutchin' on a four My neighborhood ain't the 'Cause all these babies goin' crazy And they in the game and I swear it's like a trap But I ain't given up on the hood, it's all good I go back Hoes showin me love, niggaz give me hope 'cause it don't stop on my block
