Damn, a ride to my block My block, right heh [Incomprehensible] on my block
They got a nigga sheddin' tears, reminiscin' on my past shit was hectic for me last year It appears that I've been marked for death, my breath The underlyin' of my arrest, my life is stressed And no rest forever weary, my stay teary For all the brothers that are buried in the is scary, how black on black crime legendary But at times unnecessary, I'm gettin' Teardrops and closed caskets, the three law is drastic And certain for us, ghetto bastards
can we do when we're arrested, but open fire? Life in the pen for me, 'cause I'd rather die But don't cry your despair I wonder if the Lord still cares, for us on welfare And who if we survive The only time they notice a nigga is when he's on a four five My ain't the same 'Cause all these little babies 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 I go back Hoes show me love, give me props hope 'cause it don't stop on my block
Livin' is but a dream times is all we see On my Every is kinda mean But on our block we play But on our block we still
Now constantly hot, on my block, it never fails to be gunshots Can't explain a mother's pain, her son drops Black male slippin' in hail, will we prevail? jail but crack sales got me livin' well And the suicidal with this thug's life strapped forever strapped in this drug life God help me, 'cause I'm can't get a job So I resort to violent my life is hard Can't sleep 'cause all the dirt my heart hurt
Put in and shed tears for my dead peers Mislead from childhood where I astray this day I still pray for a better way Can't but feel hopeless and heartbroke From the start I felt the racism I'm dark Couldn't the bullshit 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 on my block
Livin' is but a dream Hard is all we see On my Every is kinda mean But on our block we still But on our block we still
And I can't help but wonder why, so many young had to die Caught strays A.K's in the drive by Swollen pride and homicide coincide Brothers cry for broken lives, mama come our block is filled with danger Used to be a close community but now we're all cold strangers Time changes us to stone them crack All up and down the block exterminatin' black But I blame the dealers
My mama's welfare check has brought the next man chrome Shits real, I know you feel, my A mother with a problem child, daddy free Hangin' out pickin' up game, cheap liquor Gamin' the hooches, I can get to sleep with her It's a man's world, strapped Fantasies of a nigga phat, but held back dreams can make the night seem hopeless Wide eyed and losin' on my block
Livin' is but a dream times is all we see On my block is kinda mean But on our block we play But on our block we still
And block parties in tha projects way past daylight A young learned to break night Used to play fight with my homies but they in the pen I send 'em ends, but tough on a friend In my mind I see the same motherfuckers Alcohol will make a lazy slip and fall, miss his call I know the young niggaz this Growin' up in this world everythin' is scandalous I reminisce on tha fast times, crimes
Tryin' to cop a slice of pizza my last dime Can't explain what attracts me to this dirty game Gold chains some change, and the street fame And what's is everybody knows my name they all know me And of cash make a nigga change I hit the green just to maintain, pain For all the niggaz that I lost to the game from my right
Livin' is but a dream times is all we see Rest in peace to all the muh'fuckers who passed Every is kinda mean From all the that I'm from But on our block we play
One twelve street, Avenue, New York, Uptown Know what I'm But on our we still play 183rd and Walt, my block, that's But on our block we play 122nd and Morningside, my block, that's But on our block we still
Avenue, Baltimore, my block, that's right But on our block we still In the jungle of Atlantic city, that's my block, that's But on our we still play
