MyBlock

My Block (Explicit Nitty Remix) - 2Pac

Damn take a ride to my block

My block that's right heh

On my motherf**kin' block

They got a ni**a sheddin' 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 underlyin' 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 is scary how black on black crime legendary

But at times unnecessary 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 niggaz on welfare

And who cares if we survive

The only time they notice a ni**a is when he's clutchin' on a four five

My neighborhood ain't the same

'Cause all these 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 showin me love niggaz give me props

Forever hope 'cause it don't stop on my block

Livin' 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

But on our block we still play

Now shits constantly hot on my block it never fails to be gunshots

Can't explain a mother's pain when her son drops

Black male slippin' in hail when will we prevail

Fearin' jail but crack sales got me livin' well

And the system's suicidal with this thug's life

Stayin' strapped forever strapped in this ** life

God help me 'cause I'm starvin' 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 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

Livin' 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

But on our block we still play

And I can't help but wonder why so many young kids had to die

Caught strays from ak's in the drive by

Swollen pride and homicide don't coincide

Brothers cry for broken lives mama come inside
