2Pac - My Block (OG) - With Lyrics

Artist: 2Pac
Title: My Block
Album: The Show Soundtrack

Lyrics:

They got a nigga 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
Shit is 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 niggaz
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 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 show me love, niggaz 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 slippin in hail when will we prevail
Fearin jail but crack sales got me livin well
And the system's sucidal with this Thug's Life
Stayin strapped forever strapped in this drug
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 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 and the 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
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,
miss his call
I know the young niggaz 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 niggaz that I lost to the game...
from my block
