My Block - 2Pac (图派克) They got a ni**a shedding tears Reminiscin on my past fears Cause sh*t 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
Sh*t's scary How black on black crime legendary
But at times unnessecary
I'm gettin 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 niggas on welfare
And who cares if we survive The only time they notice a ni**a is When he clutchin on a four-five My neighborhood ain't the same Cause all the little babies goin crazy And they sufferin 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 Niggas give me props Forever hop cause It don't stop on my block
Now sh*t'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 living in hell When will we prevail Fearin jail but crack sales got me livin well In a sense I'm suicidal With this Thug's Life Stayin strapped Forever trapped in this drug life God help me Cause I'm starvin Can't get a job So I resort to violent robbings 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 b******t 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
And I can't help but wonder whhhy
So many young kids had to die
Caught strays from AK's in a driveby
Swollen pride and homicide
Don't coincide Brothers cry for broken lives Mama come inside Cause our block is filled with danger Used to be a close knit community But now we're all cold strangers Time changes us to stone Them crack pipes All up and down the block exterminatin black life But I can't blame the dealers My mama's welfare check has brought The next man chrome wheels Sh*t's real I know ya feel My tragedy A single mother with a problem child Daddy free Hangin out pickin up game Sippin cheap liquor Gamin the hoochies hopin I can get to sleep with her It's a man's world stayin strapped Fantasies of a ni**a livin phat But held back Pipe dreams can make the night seem hopeless
Wide eyed and losin focus On my block
On my block
And block parties in tha projects Lastin way past daylight
A young ni**a learned to break nine Used to play fight with my homies But they stuck in the pen I send them ends But it's tough on a friend In my mind I see the same motherf**kers ballin Alcohol will make a lazy ni**a slip and fall Misses call I know the young niggas understand this Growing up in this world Where everything is scandalous
I reminisce on tha fast times Past crimes Tryin to cop a slice of pizza with my last dime Can't explain Just what attracts me to this dirty game Gold chains some extra change And the street fame And what's strange is That everybody knows my name Swear they all know me And lots of cash make a ni**a change I hit the green just to maintain Feelin pain For all the niggas that I lost to the game From my block
Rest in peace to all the muh'f**kers Who passed away
From all the blocks that I'm from
