Generate meaning
1
Damn, take a ride, to my block
2
My block, that's right! Heh
3
F'real on my motherfuckin block
4
[Verse One]
5
They got a nigga
6
Sheddin tears, reminiscin on my past fears
7
Cause shit was hectic for me last year
8
It appears that I've been marked for death, my heartless breath
9
The underlying cause of my arrest, my life is stressed
10
And no rest forever weary, my eyes stay teary
11
For all the brothers that are buried in the cemetery
12
Shit is scary, how black on black crime legendary
13
But at times unnessecary, I'm gettin worried
14
Teardrops and closed caskets, the three strikes law is drastic
15
And certain death for us ghetto bastards
16
What can we do when we're arrested, but open fire
17
Life in the pen ain't for me, cause I'd rather die
18
But don't cry through your despair
19
I wonder if the Lord still cares, for us niggaz on welfare
20
And who cares if we survive
21
The only time they notice a nigga is when he's clutchin on a four - five
22
My neighborhood ain't the same
23
Cause all these little babies goin crazy and they sufferin in the game
24
And I swear it's like a trap
25
But I ain't given up on the hood, it's all good when I go back
26
Hoes show me love, niggaz give me props
27
Forever hop cause it don't stop... on my block
28
[Chorus: a bunch of kids - see the liner notes]
29
Livin life is but a dream
30
Hard times is all we see (on my block)
31
Every block is kinda mean
32
But on our block we still playyyyyy
33
But on our block we still playyyyyy...
34
[Verse Two]
35
Now shit's constantly hot, on my block, it never fails to be gunshots
36
Can't explain a mother's pain, when her son drops
37
Black male slippin in hail when will we prevail
38
Fearin jail but crack sales got me livin well
39
And the system's sucidal with this Thug's Life
40
Stayin strapped forever strapped in this drug life
41
God help me, cause I'm starvin, can't get a job
42
So I resort to violent robberies, my life is hard
43
Can't sleep cause all the dirt make my heart hurt
44
Put in work and shed tears for my dead peers
45
Mislead from childhood where I went astray
46
Till this day I still pray for a better way
47
Can't help but feel hopeless and heartbroke
48
From the start I felt the racism cause I'm dark
49
Couldn't quit the bullshit make me represent
50
Hit the bar and played the star, everywhere I went
51
In my heart, I felt alone out here on my own
52
I close my eyes and picture home... on my block
53
[Chorus w/ minor variations]
54
[Verse Three]
55
And I can't help but wonder why, so many young kids had to die
56
Caught strays from AK's and the driveby
57
Swollen pride and homicide, don't coincide
58
Brothers cry for broken lives, mama come inside
59
Cause our block is filled with danger
60
Used to be a close knit community but now we're all cold strangers
61
Time changes us to stone them crack pipes
62
All up and down the block exterminatin black life
63
But I can't blame the dealers
64
My mama's welfare check has brought the next man chrome wheels
65
Shit's real, I know ya feel, my tragedy
66
A single mother with a problem child, daddy free
67
Hangin out pickin up game, sippin cheap liquor
68
Gamin the hoochies hopin I can get to sleep with her
69
It's a man's world, stayin strapped
70
Fantasies of a nigga livin phat, but held back
71
Pipe dreams can make the night seem hopeless
72
Wide eyed and losin focus... on my block
73
[Chorus w/ minor variations]
74
[Verse Four]
75
And block parties in tha projects lastin way past daylight
76
A young nigga learned to break night
77
Used to play fight with my homies but they stuck in the pen
78
I send them ends, but it's tough on a friend, in my mind
79
I see the same motherfuckers ballin
80
Alcohol will make a lazy nigga slip and fall, miss his call
81
I know the young niggaz understand this
82
Growing up in this world where everything is scandalous
83
I reminisce on tha fast times, past crimes
84
Tryin to cop a slice of pizza with my last dime
85
Can't explain, just what attracts me to this dirty game
86
Gold chains, some extra change, and the street fame
87
And what's strange is everybod knows my name, swear they all know me
88
And lots of cash make a nigga change
89
I hit the green just to maintain, feelin pain
90
For all the niggaz that I lost to the game... from my block
91
[Chorus w/ minor variations; kids repeat last line over and over]
92
[2Pac - speaking over Chorus]
93
Rest in peace to all the muh'fuckers who passed away
94
From all the blocks that I'm from
95
