Damn, take a to my block My block, right heh [Incomprehensible] on my block
They got a nigga tears, reminiscin' on my past fears 'Cause shit was for me last year It that I've been marked for death, my heartless breath The underlyin' of my arrest, my life is stressed And no rest weary, my eyes stay teary For all the brothers are buried in the cemetery is scary, how black on black crime legendary But at times unnecessary, I'm gettin' Teardrops and closed caskets, the three strikes law is And certain death for us, bastards
What can we do when arrested, but open fire? Life in the pen ain't for me, 'cause I'd die But don't cry through despair I wonder if the Lord cares, for us niggaz on welfare And who if we survive The only time they a nigga is when he's clutchin' on a four five My neighborhood ain't the 'Cause all these little goin' crazy And they sufferin' in the and I swear it's like a trap But I ain't given up on the hood, it's all when I go back showin me love, niggaz give me props Forever 'cause it don't stop on my block
life is but a dream Hard is all we see On my Every block is mean But on our block we still But on our block we play
Now shits constantly hot, on my block, it never to be gunshots Can't explain a mother's pain, when her son male slippin' in hail, when will we prevail? Fearin' jail but crack sales got me livin' And the system's with this thug's life Stayin' strapped forever strapped in this drug God help me, 'cause I'm starvin' get a job So I resort to violent robberies my is hard sleep 'cause all the dirt make my heart hurt
Put in and shed tears for my dead peers Mislead from childhood where I went Till this day I still for a better way Can't help but feel hopeless and From the start I felt the racism I'm dark quit the bullshit 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
Livin' is but a dream times is all we see On my Every block is mean But on our block we play But on our block we still
And I help but wonder why, so many young kids had to die strays from A.K's in the drive by Swollen pride and don't coincide Brothers cry for broken lives, mama come 'Cause our block is filled danger Used to be a close knit community but now all cold strangers Time changes us to stone them crack All up and down the block exterminatin' life But I blame the dealers
My mama's welfare check has brought the next man wheels real, I know you feel, my tragedy A single mother with a problem child, daddy Hangin' out pickin' up game, sippin' liquor the hooches, hopin' I can get to sleep with her It's a world, stayin' strapped of a nigga livin' phat, but held back Pipe dreams can make the night hopeless Wide eyed and focus on my block
life is but a dream Hard is all we see On my Every block is mean But on our block we still But on our block we still
And block parties in tha projects lastin' way daylight A young learned to break night Used to play with my homies but they stuck in the pen I send 'em ends, but it's tough on a In my mind I see the same motherfuckers Alcohol will make a lazy nigga and fall, miss his call I know the young niggaz this Growin' up in this where everythin' is scandalous I reminisce on tha times, past crimes
Tryin' to cop a of pizza with my last dime Can't explain just what attracts me to this game Gold some extra change, and the street fame And what's strange is everybody my name Swear all know me And of cash make a nigga change I hit the green to maintain, feelin' 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 who passed away Every block is mean From all the blocks I'm from But on our block we still
One twelve street, Seventh Avenue, New York, what I'm sayin? But on our we still play 183rd and Walt, my block, that's But on our we still play 122nd and Morningside, my block, right But on our block we play
Decatur Avenue, Baltimore, my block, that's But on our we still play In the jungle of Atlantic city, that's my block, right But on our we still play
