sheddin' tears, reminiscin' on my past fears\n'Cause shit was hectic for me last year\nIt appears that I've been marked for death, my heartless breath\nThe underlyin' cause of my arrest, my life is stressed\nAnd no rest forever weary, my eyes stay teary\nFor all the brothers that are buried in the cemetery\nShit is scary, how black on black crime legendary\nBut at times unnecessary, I'm gettin' worried\nTeardrops and closed caskets, the three strikes law is drastic\nAnd certain death for us, ghetto bastards\n\nWhat can we do when we're arrested, but open fire?\nLife in the pen ain't for me, 'cause I'd rather die\nBut don't cry through your despair\nI wonder if the Lord still cares, for us niggaz on welfare\nAnd who cares if we survive\nThe only time they notice a nigga is when he's clutchin' on a four five\nMy neighborhood ain't the same\n'Cause all these little babies goin' crazy\nAnd they sufferin' in the game and I swear it's like a trap\nBut I ain't given up on the hood, it's all good when I go back\nHoes show me love, niggaz give me props\nForever hope 'cause it don't stop on my block\n\nLivin' life is but a dream\nHard times is all we see\nOn my block\nEvery block is kinda mean\nBut on our block we still play\nBut on our block we still play\n\nNow shits constantly hot, on my block, it never fails to be gunshots\nCan't explain a mother's pain, when her son drops\nBlack male slippin' in hail, when will we prevail?\nFearin' jail but crack sales got me livin' well\nAnd the system's suicidal with this thug's life\nStayin' strapped forever strapped in this drug life\nGod help me, 'cause I'm starvin' can't get a job\nSo I resort to violent robberies my life is hard\nCan't sleep 'cause all the dirt make my heart hurt\n\nPut in work and shed tears for my dead peers\nMislead from childhood where I went astray\nTill this day I still pray for a better way\nCan't help but feel hopeless and heartbroke\nFrom the start I felt the racism 'cause I'm dark\nCouldn't quit the bullshit make me represent\nHit the bar and played the star everywhere I went\nIn my heart, I felt alone out here on my own\nI close my eyes and picture home on my block\n\nLivin' life is but a dream\nHard times is all we see\nOn my block\nEvery block is kinda mean\nBut on our block we still play\nBut on our block we still play\n\nAnd I can't help but wonder why, so many young kids had to die\nCaught strays from A.K's in the drive by\nSwollen pride and homicide don't coincide\nBrothers cry for broken lives, mama come inside\n'Cause our block is filled with danger\nUsed to be a close knit community but now we're all cold strangers\nTime changes us to stone them crack pipes\nAll up and down the block exterminatin' black life\nBut I can't blame the dealers\n\nMy mama's welfare check has brought the next man chrome wheels\nShits real, I know you feel, my tragedy\nA single mother with a problem child, daddy free\nHangin' out pickin' up game, sippin' cheap liquor\nGamin' the hooches, hopin' I can get to sleep with her\nIt's a man's world, stayin' strapped\nFantasies of a nigga livin' phat, but held back\nPipe dreams can make the night seem hopeless\nWide eyed and losin' focus on my block\n\nLivin' life is but a dream\nHard times is all we see\nOn my block\nEvery block is kinda mean\nBut on our block we still play\nBut on our block we still play\n\nAnd block parties in tha projects lastin' way past daylight\nA young nigga learned to break night\nUsed to play fight with my homies but they stuck in the pen\nI send 'em ends, but it's tough on a friend\nIn my mind I see the same motherfuckers ballin'\nAlcohol will make a lazy nigga slip and fall, miss his call\nI know the young niggaz understand this\nGrowin' up in this world where everythin' is scandalous\nI reminisce on tha fast times, past crimes\n\nTryin' to cop a slice of pizza with my last dime\nCan't explain just what attracts me to this dirty game\nGold chains some extra change, and the street fame\nAnd what's strange is everybody knows my name\nSwear they all know me\nAnd lots of cash make a nigga change\nI hit the green just to maintain, feelin' pain\nFor all the niggaz that I lost to the game from my block\nThats right\n\nLivin' life is but a dream\nHard times is all we see\nRest in peace to all the muh'fuckers who passed away\nEvery block is kinda mean\nFrom all the blocks that I'm from\nBut on our block we still play (One twelve street, Seventh Avenue, New York, Uptown)\n\nKnow what I'm sayin?\nBut on our block we still play\n183rd and Walt, my block,

But don't cry through your despair\n  I wonder if the Lord still cares, for us niggaz on welfare\n  And who cares if we survive\n  The only time they notice a nigga is when he's clutchin' on a four

livin' phat, but held back\n  Pipe dreams can make the night seem hopeless\n  Wide eyed and losin' focus on my block\n\n  Livin' life is but a dream\n  Hard times is all we see\n  On my block\n  Every

on our block we still play\nBut on our block we still play\n\nAnd block parties in tha projects lastin' way past daylight\nA young nigga learned to break night\nUsed to play fight with my homies but they stuck in the pen\nI send 'em ends, but it's tough on a friend\nIn my mind I see the same motherfuckers ballin'\nAlcohol will make a lazy nigga slip and fall, miss his call\nI know the young niggaz understand this\nGrowin' up in this world where everythin' is scandalous\nI reminisce on tha fast times, past crimes\n\nTryin' to cop a slice of pizza with my last dime\nCan't explain just what attracts me to this dirty game\nGold chains some extra change, and the street fame\nAnd what's strange is everybody knows my name\nSwear they all know me\nAnd lots of cash make a nigga change\nI hit the green just to maintain, feelin' pain\nFor all the niggaz that I lost to the game from my block\nThats right\n\nLivin' life is but a dream\nHard times is all we see\nRest in peace to all the

\n[00:15.89] My block, that's right heh\n[00:19.12] Real on my motherfuckin' block\n[00:21.16] They got a nigga sheddin' tears, reminiscin' on my past fears\n[00:23.77] 'Cause shit was hectic for me last year\n[00:26.05] It appears that I've been marked for death, my heartless breath\n[00:28.86] The underlyin' cause of my arrest, my life is stressed\n[00:31.90] And no rest forever weary, my eyes stay teary\n[00:34.87] For all the brothers that are buried in the cemetery\n[00:37.13] Shit is scary, how black on black crime legendary\n[00:39.70] But at times unnecessary, I'm gettin' worried\n[00:42.67] Teardrops and closed caskets, the three strikes law is drastic\n[00:45.75] And certain death for us, ghetto bastards\n[00:48.12] What can we do when we're arrested, but open fire?\n[00:50.50] Life in the pen ain't for me, 'cause I'd rather die\n[00:53.35] But don't cry through your despair\n[00:55.01] I wonder if the Lord still cares, for us niggaz on welfare\n[00:58.37] And who cares if we survive\n[01:00.51] The only time they notice a nigga is when he's clutchin' on a four five\n[01:03.16] My neighborhood ain't the same\n[01:06.08] 'Cause all these little babies goin' crazy\n[01:07.90] And they sufferin' in the game and I swear it's like a trap\n[01:10.87] But I ain't given up on the hood, it's all good when I go back\n[01:14.30] Hoes show me love, niggaz give me props\n[01:17.33] Forever hope 'cause it don't stop on my block\n[01:19.61] Livin' life is but a dream\n[01:22.41] Hard times is all we see\n[01:25.58] On my block\n[01:27.50] Every block is kinda mean\n[01:28.95] But on our block we still play\n[01:30.95] But on our block we still play\n[01:33.22] \n[01:36.05] Now shits constantly hot, on my block, it never fails to be gunshots\n[01:38.05] Can't explain a mother's pain, when her son drops\n[01:41.48] Black male slippin' in hail, when will we prevail?\n[01:43.62] Fearin' jail but crack sales got me livin' well\n[01:46.42] And the system's suicidal with this thug's life\n[01:48.93] Stayin' strapped forever strapped in this drug life\n[01:51.98] God help me, 'cause I'm starvin' can't get a job\n[01:54.33] So I resort to violent robberies my life is hard\n[01:56.60] Can't sleep 'cause all the dirt make my heart hurt\n[01:59.92] Put in work and shed tears for my dead peers\n[02:02.23] Mislead from childhood where I went astray\n[02:05.28] Till this day I still pray for a better way\n[02:07.67] Can't help but feel hopeless and heartbroke\n[02:10.25] From the start I felt the racism 'cause I'm dark\n[02:13.49] Couldn't quit the bullshit make me represent\n[02:15.33] Hit the bar and played the star everywhere I went\n[02:18.87] In my heart, I felt alone out here on my own\n[02:21.46] I close my eyes and picture home on my block\n[02:24.85] Livin' life is but a dream\n[02:27.23] Hard times is all we see\n[02:29.75] On my block\n[02:30.94] Every block is kinda mean\n[02:32.30] But on our block we still play\n[02:34.06] But on our block we still play\n[02:36.30] \n[02:41.98] And I can't help but wonder why, so many young kids had to die\n[02:43.11] Caught strays from A.K's in the drive by\n[02:44.58] Swollen pride and homicide don't coincide\n[02:47.85] Brothers cry for broken lives, mama come inside\n[02:50.11] 'Cause our block is filled with danger\n[02:53.03] Used to be a close knit community but now we're all cold strangers\n[02:56.21] Time changes us to stone them crack pipes\n[02:58.57] All up and down the block exterminatin' black life\n[03:00.99] But I can't blame the dealers\n[03:03.79] My mama's welfare check has brought the next man chrome wheels\n[03:06.09] Shits real, I know you feel, my tragedy\n[03:08.82] A single

motherfuckin' block\n[00:21.18] They got a nigga sheddin' tears, reminiscin' on my past fears\n[00:23.77] 'Cause shit was hectic for me last year\n[00:26.05] It appears that I've been marked for death, my heartless breath\n[00:28.80] The underlyin' cause of my arrest, my life is stressed\n[00:31.93] And no rest forever weary, my eyes stay teary\n[00:34.84] For all the brothers that are buried in the cemetery\n[00:37.16] Shit is scary, how black on black crime legendary\n[00:39.79] But at times unnecessary, I'm gettin' worried\n[00:42.68] Teardrops and closed caskets, the three strikes law is drastic\n[00:45.70] And certain death for us, ghetto bastards\n[00:48.19] What can we do when we're arrested, but open fire?\n[00:50.56] Life in the pen ain't for me, 'cause I'd rather die\n[00:53.34] But don't cry through your despair\n[00:55.09] I wonder if the Lord still cares, for us niggaz on welfare\n[00:58.39] And who cares if we survive\n[01:00.53] The only time they notice a nigga is when he's clutchin' on a four five\n[01:03.10] My neighborhood ain't the same\n[01:06.06] 'Cause all these little babies goin' crazy\n[01:07.90] And they sufferin' in the game and I swear it's like a trap\n[01:10.87] But I ain't given up on the hood, it's all good when I go back\n[01:14.39] Hoes show me love, niggaz give me props\n[01:17.34] Forever hope 'cause it don't stop on my block\n[01:19.60] Livin' life is but a dream\n[01:22.41] Hard times is all we see\n[01:25.59] On my block\n[01:27.51] Every block is kinda mean\n[01:28.92] But on our block we still play\n[01:30.90] But on our block we still play\n[01:33.17] \n[01:36.03] Now shits constantly hot, on my block, it never fails to be gunshots\n[01:38.05] Can't explain a mother's pain, when her son drops\n[01:41.40] Black male slippin' in hail, when will we prevail?\n[01:43.62] Fearin' jail but crack sales got me livin' well\n[01:46.42] And the system's suicidal with this thug's life\n[01:48.95] Stayin' strapped forever strapped in this drug life\n[01:51.92] God help me, 'cause I'm starvin' can't get a job\n[01:54.36] So I resort to violent robberies my life is hard\n[01:56.60] Can't sleep 'cause all the dirt make my heart hurt\n[01:59.99] Put in work and shed tears for my dead peers\n[02:02.25] Mislead from childhood where I went astray\n[02:05.28] Till this day I still pray for a better way\n[02:07.69] Can't help but feel hopeless and heartbroke\n[02:10.25] From the start I felt the racism 'cause I'm dark\n[02:13.44] Couldn't quit the bullshit make me represent\n[02:15.34] Hit the bar and played the star everywhere I went\n[02:18.84] In my heart, I felt alone out here on my own\n[02:21.44] I close my eyes and picture home on my block\n[02:24.88] Livin' life is but a dream\n[02:27.24] Hard times is all we see\n[02:29.71] On my block\n[02:30.97] Every block is kinda mean\n[02:32.32] But on our block we still play\n[02:34.02] But on our block we still play\n[02:36.26] \n[02:41.95] And I can't help but wonder why, so many young kids had to die\n[02:43.16] Caught strays from A.K's in the drive by\n[02:44.57] Swollen pride and homicide don't coincide\n[02:47.89] Brothers cry for broken lives, mama come inside\n[02:50.18] 'Cause our block is filled with danger\n[02:53.02] Used to be a close knit community but now we're all cold strangers\n[02:56.22] Time changes us to stone them crack pipes\n[02:58.58] All up and down the block exterminatin' black life\n[03:00.98] But I can't blame the dealers\n[03:03.70] My mama's welfare check has brought the next man chrome wheels\n[03:06.00] Shits real, I know you feel, my tragedy\n[03:08.86] A single mother with a problem child, daddy free\n[03:11.73] Hangin' out pickin' up game, sippin' cheap liquor\n[03:14.66] Gamin' the hooches, hopin' I can get to sleep with her\n[03:16.92] It's a man's world, stayin' strapped\n[03:19.85] Fantasies of a nigga livin' phat, but held back\n[03:23.05] Pipe dreams can make the night seem hopeless\n[03:26.48] Wide eyed and losin' focus on my block\n[03:27.87] Livin' life is but a dream\n[03:31.56] Hard times is all we see\n[03:34.07] On my block\n[03:35.26] Every block is kinda mean\n[03:36.52] But on our block we still play\n[03:40.11] But on our block we still play\n[03:43.15] And block parties in tha projects lastin' way past daylight\n[03:46.94] A young nigga learned to break night\n[03:48.88] Used to play fight with my homies but they stuck in the pen\n[03:51.05] I send 'em ends, but it's tough on a friend\n[03:53.69] In my mind I see the same motherfuckers ballin'\n[03:56.12] Alcohol will make a lazy nigga slip and fall, miss his call\n[03:59.18] I know the young niggaz understand this\n[04:02.03] Growin' up in this world where everythin' is scandalous\n[04:04.88] I reminisce on tha fast times, past crimes\n[04:06.98] \n[04:09.05] Tryin' to cop a slice of pizza with my last dime\n[04:10.63] Can't explain just what attracts me to this dirty game\n[04:12.47] Gold chains some extra change, and the street fame\n[04:14.87] And what's strange is everybody knows my name\n[04:17.05] Swear they all know me\n[04:19.06] And lots of cash make a nigga change\n[04:21.06] I hit the green just to maintain, feelin' pain\n[04:22.75] For all the niggaz that I lost to the game from my block\n[04:26.07] Thats right\n[04:28.12] Livin' life is but a
