Damn take a ride to my block My block that's right Heh F'real on my motherfucking block They got a nigga Shedding tears reminiscing on my past fears Cause shit was hectic for me last year It appears that I've been marked for death my heartless breath The underlying cause of my arrest my life is stressed And no rest forever weary my eyes stay teary for all the brothers that are buried in the cemetery Shit is scary how black on black crime legendary But at times unnessecary I'm getting worried Teardrops and closed caskets the three strikes law is drastic And certain death for us ghetto bastards What can we do when we're arrested but open fire Life in the pen ain't for me cause I'd rather die But don't cry through your despair I wonder if the Lord still cares for us niggaz on welfare And who cares if we survive The only time they notice a nigga is when he's clutching on a four-five My neighborhood ain't the same Cause all these little babies going crazy and they suffering in the game And I swear it's like a trap But I ain't given up on the hood it's all good when I go back Hoes show me love niggaz give me props Forever hop cause it don't stop on my block Living life is but a dream Hard times is all we see on my block Every block is kinda mean But on our block we still play on my block But on our block we still play Now shit's constantly hot on my block it never fails to be gunshots Can't explain a mother's pain when her son drops Black male slipping in hail when will we prevail Fearing jail but crack sales got me living well In a sense I'm sucidal with this Thug's Life Staying strapped forever trapped in this drug life God help me cause I'm starving can't get a job So I resort to violent robberies my life is hard Can't sleep cause all the dirt make my heart hurt Put in work and shed tears for my dead peers Mislead from childhood where I went astray Till this day I still pray for a better way Can't help but feel hopeless and heartbroke From the start I felt the racism cause I'm dark Couldn't quit the bullshit make me represent Hit the bar and played the star everywhere I went In my heart I felt alone out here on my own I close my eyes and picture home on my block Living life is but a dream Hard times is all we see on my block Every block is kinda mean But on our block we still play
