My Block
They got a nigga shedding tears
- They got a nigga shedding tears
- Reminiscin 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'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 nigga 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 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 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 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
- 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
- Shit'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 nigga 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 nigga 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 nigga 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 nigga 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
- One-twelve street 7th Avenue
- New York Uptown knahmsayin
- 183rd and Walt my block that's right
- 122nd and Morningside
- My block that's right
- Decatur Avenue Baltimore
- My block that's right
- And the Jungle Marin City
- That's my block that's right
