[00:11.930] Damn, take a ride, to my block
[00:15.800] My block, that's right! Heh
[00:19.020] F'real on my mother******g block
[00:20.450]
[00:20.970] They got a *************
[00:22.090] Shedding tears, reminiscing on my past fears
[00:24.090] Cause *************t was hectic for me last year
[00:26.210] It appears that I've been marked for death, my heartless breath
[00:29.010] The underlying cause of my arrest, my life is stressed
[00:32.150] And no rest forever weary, my eyes stay teary
[00:34.680] for all the brothers that are buried in the cemetery
[00:37.680] *************t is scary, how black on black crime legendary
[00:40.100] But at times unnecessary, I'm getting worried
[00:42.820] Teardrops and closed caskets, the three strikes law is drastic
[00:46.150] And certain death for us ghetto bastards
[00:48.270] What can we do when we're arrested, but open fire
[00:50.730] Life in the pen ain't for me, cause I'd rather die
[00:53.470] But don't cry through your despair
[00:55.760] I wonder if the Lord still cares, for us *************s on welfare
[00:58.770] And who cares if we survive
[01:01.100] The only time they notice a ************* is when he's clutching on a four-five
[01:04.130] My neighborhood ain't the same
[01:05.940] Cause all these little babies going crazy and they suffering in the game
[01:09.300] And I swear it's like a trap
[01:11.320] But I ain't given up on the hood, it's all good when I go back
[01:14.290]
[01:14.900] Hoes show me love, *************s give me props
[01:17.520] Forever hop cause it don't stop... on my block
[01:19.480]
[01:20.950] Living life is but a dream
[01:23.040] Hard times is all we see (on my block)
[01:25.630] Every block is kinda mean
[01:28.710] But on our block we still prayyyyyy
[01:33.850] But on our block we still prayyyyyy...
[01:35.080]
[01:35.670] Now *************t's constantly hot, on my block, it never fails to be gunshots
[01:39.200] Can't explain a mother's pain, when her son drops
[01:41.460] Black male slipping in hail when will we prevail
[01:44.080] Fearing jail but crack sales got me living well
[01:46.620] And the system's suicidal with this Thug's Life
[01:49.420] Staying strapped forever trapped in this drug life
[01:52.110] God help me, cause I'm starving, can't get a job
[01:54.770] So I resort to violent robberies, my life is hard
[01:57.480] Can't sleep cause all the dirt make my heart hurt
[01:59.980] Put in work and shed tears for my dead peers
[02:02.810] Mislead from childhood where I went astray
[02:05.370] Till this day I still pray for a better way
[02:08.140] Can't help but feel hopeless and heartbroke
[02:10.740] From the start I felt the racism cause I'm dark
[02:13.330] Couldn't quit the bull*************t make me represent
[02:16.090] Hit the bar and played the star, everywhere I went
[02:18.190]
[02:18.750] In my heart, I felt alone out here on my own
[02:21.430] I close my eyes and picture home... on my block
[02:23.700]
[02:24.950] Living life is but a dream
[02:27.280] Hard times is all we see (on my block)
[02:29.880] Every block is kinda mean
[02:32.950] But on our block we still prayyyyyy
[02:36.360] But on our block we still prayyyyyy...
[02:37.910]
[02:39.000] And I can't help but wonder why, so many young kids had to die
[02:42.710] Caught strays from AK's and the drive by AK
[02:45.400] Swollen pride and homicide, don't coincide
[02:48.090] Brothers cry for broken lives, mama come inside
[02:50.710] Cause our block is filled with danger
[02:52.880] Used to be a close knit community but now we're all cold strangers
[02:55.800] Time changes us to stone them crack pipes
[02:58.610] All up and down the block exterminating black life
[03:01.530] But I can't blame the dealers
[03:03.320] My mama's welfare check has brought the next man chrome wheels
[03:06.850] *************t's real, I know ya feel, my tragedy
[03:09.420] A single mother with a problem child, daddy free
[03:12.020] Hanging out picking up game, sipping cheap liquor
[03:15.000] Gamin the hoochies hoping I can get to sleep with her
[03:17.490] It's a man's world, staying strapped
[03:19.670] Fantasies of a ************* living phat, but held back
[03:21.820]
[03:22.960] Pipe dreams can make the night seem hopeless
[03:25.440] Wide eyed and losing focus... on my block
[03:28.410]
[03:28.880] Living life is but a dream
[03:31.310] Hard times is all we see
[03:33.700] Every block is kinda mean
[03:36.750] But on our block we still prayyyyyy
[03:39.750] But on our block we still prayyyyyy...
[03:42.100]
[03:43.620] And block parties in the projects lasting way past daylight
[03:46.770] A young ************* learned to break night
[03:49.210] Used to play fight with my homies but they stuck in the pen
[03:51.780] I send them ends, but it's tough on a friend, in my mind
[03:54.770] I see the same mother******s balling
[03:56.460] Alcohol will make a lazy ************* slip and fall, miss his call
[03:59.530] I know the young *************s understand this
[04:01.670] Growing up in this world where everything is scandalous
[04:04.680] I reminisce on the fast times, past crimes
[04:07.280] Trying to cop a slice of pizza with my last dime
[04:10.130] Can't explain, just what attracts me to this dirty game
[04:12.810] Gold chains, some extra change, and the street fame
[04:15.580] And what's strange is everybody knows my name, swear they all know me
[04:18.800] And lots of cash make a ************* change
[04:19.960]
[04:21.100] I hit the green just to maintain, feeling pain
[04:23.400] For all the *************s that I lost to the game... from my block
[04:25.330]
[04:27.140]
[04:29.260]
[04:30.690] 2Pac - speaking over Chorus
[04:32.460] Rest in peace to all the mother******s who passed away
[04:34.260] From all the blocks that I'm from
[04:36.080] One-twelve street, 7th Avenue, New York, Uptown, knahmsayin?
[04:41.740] 183rd and Walt, my block, that's right
[04:46.490] 122nd and Morningside, my block, that's right
[04:50.610] Decatur Avenue, Baltimore, my block, that's right
[04:55.650] In the jungle of Marin City, that's my block, that's right
[05:00.250] Los Angeles, haha, that's my block too
[05:06.620] Oakland, can't forget Oaktown, that's my block for sure
[05:11.330] And all the other blocks around this mother******
[05:14.550] Houston, Florida, St. Louis, Tennessee, Miami, Chicago
[05:18.550] All y'all *************s stay kicking up dust
[05:20.900] Represent the mother******g block
