Damn, take a to my block My block, that's heh on my motherfuckin' block
They got a nigga sheddin' tears, on my past fears shit was hectic for me last year It appears that been marked for death, my heartless breath The cause of my arrest, my life is stressed And no rest forever weary, my stay teary For all the brothers that are in the cemetery is scary, how black on black crime legendary But at times unnecessary, I'm worried and closed caskets, the three strikes law is drastic And certain for us, ghetto bastards
What can we do when we're arrested, but open in the pen ain't 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 is when he's clutchin' on a four five My neighborhood ain't the 'Cause all these babies goin' crazy And they sufferin' in the game and I swear it's like a But I ain't up on the hood, it's all good when I go back Hoes show me love, niggaz me props Forever hope 'cause it stop on my block
life is but a dream Hard is all we see On my block is kinda mean But on our block we play But on our block we play
Now shits hot, on my block, it never fails to be gunshots Can't explain a mother's pain, when her son Black male in hail, when will we prevail? Fearin' jail but sales got me livin' well And the system's with this thug's life Stayin' strapped forever strapped in this life God me, 'cause I'm starvin' can't get a job So I to violent robberies my life is hard Can't sleep 'cause all the dirt my heart hurt
Put in work and shed tears for my peers Mislead from childhood where I astray Till this day I pray for a better way Can't help but feel hopeless and From the start I felt the 'cause I'm dark Couldn't quit the bullshit make me Hit the bar and played the star I went In my heart, I alone out here on my own I close my eyes and home on my block
