Damn, take a to my block My block, right heh on my motherfuckin' block
They got a nigga sheddin' tears, reminiscin' on my fears shit was hectic for me last year It appears that I've been marked for death, my heartless The underlyin' cause of my arrest, my life is And no rest weary, my eyes stay teary For all the brothers that are in the cemetery Shit is scary, how black on black crime But at unnecessary, I'm gettin' worried and closed caskets, the three strikes law is drastic And certain death for us, ghetto
What can we do when arrested, but open fire? Life in the pen for me, 'cause I'd rather die But don't cry through despair I wonder if the Lord still cares, for us niggaz on And who if we survive The only time they a nigga is when he's clutchin' on a four five My ain't the same 'Cause all little babies goin' crazy And sufferin' in the game and I swear it's like a trap But I given up on the hood, it's all good when I go back Hoes showin me love, niggaz give me Forever hope 'cause it stop on my block
Livin' is but a dream Hard is all we see On my block is kinda mean But on our we still play But on our we still play
Now shits constantly hot, on my block, it fails to be gunshots Can't a mother's pain, when her son drops Black male in hail, when will we prevail?

Put in and shed tears for my dead peers from childhood where I went astray Till this day I pray for a better way help but feel hopeless and heartbroke From the start I felt the 'cause I'm dark Couldn't quit the make me represent Hit the bar and played the star I went In my heart, I felt out here on my own I close my eyes and picture home on my

My mama's welfare check has brought the next man wheels Shits real, I you feel, my tragedy A single mother a problem child, daddy free Hangin' out pickin' up game, sippin' liquor the hooches, hopin' I can get to sleep with her It's a man's world, stayin' Fantasies of a nigga phat, but held back Pipe dreams can make the night seem Wide eyed and losin' focus on my
