Damn, take a to my block My block, right heh [Incomprehensible] on my block
They got a nigga sheddin' tears, on my past fears 'Cause shit was for me last year It appears that I've been marked for death, my breath The underlyin' cause of my arrest, my is stressed And no rest forever weary, my eyes teary For all the brothers that are in the cemetery Shit is scary, how black on black legendary But at times unnecessary, I'm worried Teardrops and closed caskets, the strikes law is drastic And certain death for us, ghetto
What can we do when we're arrested, but open Life in the pen ain't for me, I'd rather die But don't cry your despair I wonder if the Lord cares, for us niggaz on welfare And who if we survive The only time they notice a nigga is when he's clutchin' on a five My neighborhood the same 'Cause all these little goin' crazy And they sufferin' in the game and I it's like a trap But I ain't given up on the hood, all good when I go back Hoes show me love, niggaz me props Forever hope 'cause it don't on my block
Livin' life is but a times is all we see On my Every block is kinda But on our we still play But on our block we still
Now shits hot, on my block, it never fails to be gunshots Can't explain a mother's pain, when her son Black slippin' in hail, when will we prevail? Fearin' jail but crack sales got me well And the system's suicidal this thug's life Stayin' strapped forever strapped in drug life God help me, I'm starvin' can't get a job So I resort to robberies my life is hard Can't sleep 'cause all the make my heart hurt
Put in work and shed tears for my peers from childhood where I went astray Till day I still pray for a better way help but feel hopeless and heartbroke From the start I felt the racism I'm dark Couldn't quit the make me represent Hit the bar and played the star I went In my heart, I felt alone out on my own I my eyes and picture home on my block
