lirik lagu 2pac - my block
[verse 1]
they got a n-gga 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, our 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 b-st-rds
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 n-ggas on welfare
and who cares if we survive
the only time they notice a n-gga 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, n-ggas give me props
forever hop cause it don’t stop… on my block
[richie rich & 2-pac mini skit]
[verse 2]
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 h-ll 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
misled 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 bullsh-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
[richie rich & 2-pac mini skit once again]
[verse 3]
and i can’t help but wonder why
so many young kids had to die
caught strays from ak’s in a drive-by
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 n-gga livin phat, but held back
pipe dreams can make the night seem hopeless
wide eyed and losin focus… on my block
[richie rich & 2-pac skit once again]
[verse 4]
and block parties in the projects lastin way past daylight
a young n-gga learned to break night
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-ckers ballin
alcohol will make a lazy n-gga slip and fall, misses call
i know the young n-ggas 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 n-gga change
i hit the green just to maintain, feelin pain
for all the n-ggas that i lost to the game… from my block
[outro with richie rich vocals]
rest in peace to all the motherf-ckers who p-ssed 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
in the jungle of marin city, that’s my block, that’s right
los angeles, haha, that’s my block too
oakland, can’t forget oaktown, that’s my block for sure
and all the other blocks around this motherf-cker
houston, florida, st. louis, tennessee, miami, chicago
all y’all n-ggas stay kicking up dust
