[00:00.00]My Block (Explicit Nitty Remix) - 2Pac
[00:12.33]Damn take a ride to my block
[00:16.18]My block that's right heh
[00:19.23]On my motherf**kin' block
[00:20.97]They got a ni**a sheddin' tears reminiscin' on my past fears
[00:24.49]'Cause sh*t was hectic for me last year
[00:26.53]It appears that I've been marked for death my heartless breath
[00:29.60]The underlyin' cause of my arrest my life is stressed
[00:32.51]And no rest forever weary my eyes stay teary
[00:35.50]For all the brothers that are buried in the cemetery
[00:37.76]Sh*t is scary how black on black crime legendary
[00:40.35]But at times unnecessary I'm gettin' worried
[00:43.20]Teardrops and closed caskets the three strikes law is drastic
[00:46.50]And certain death for us ghetto bastards
[00:48.55]What can we do when we're arrested but open fire
[00:51.15]Life in the pen ain't for me 'cause I'd rather die
[00:53.84]But don't cry through your despair
[00:55.45]I wonder if the lord still cares for us niggaz on welfare
[00:59.16]And who cares if we survive
[01:00.82]The only time they notice a ni**a is when he's clutchin' on a four five
[01:04.55]My neighborhood ain't the same
[01:06.15]'Cause all these little babies goin' crazy
[01:08.05]And they sufferin' in the game and I swear it's like a trap
[01:11.45]But I ain't given up on the hood it's all good when I go back
[01:15.09]Hoes showin me love niggaz give me props
[01:17.92]Forever hope 'cause it don't stop on my block
[01:21.29]Livin' life is but a dream
[01:23.53]Hard times is all we see
[01:25.45]On my block
[01:26.23]Every block is kinda mean
[01:29.26]But on our block we still play
[01:34.77]But on our block we still play
[01:36.45]Now ****s constantly hot on my block it never fails to be gunshots
[01:39.21]Can't explain a mother's pain when her son drops
[01:41.89]Black male slippin' in hail when will we prevail
[01:44.57]Fearin' jail but crack sales got me livin' well
[01:47.22]And the system's suicidal with this thug's life
[01:49.91]Stayin' strapped forever strapped in this drug life
[01:52.55]God help me 'cause I'm starvin' can't get a job
[01:55.26]So I resort to violent robberies my life is hard
[01:57.97]Can't sleep 'cause all the dirt make my heart hurt
[02:00.58]Put in work and shed tears for my dead peers
[02:03.25]Mislead from childhood where I went astray
[02:05.97]Till this day I still pray for a better way
[02:08.63]Can't help but feel hopeless and heartbroke
[02:11.28]From the start I felt the racism 'cause I'm dark
[02:13.92]Couldn't quit the b******t make me represent
[02:16.59]Hit the bar and played the star everywhere I went
[02:19.33]In my heart I felt alone out here on my own
[02:21.95]I close my eyes and picture home on my block
[02:25.20]Livin' life is but a dream
[02:27.58]Hard times is all we see
[02:29.41]On my block
[02:30.14]Every block is kinda mean
[02:32.88]But on our block we still play
[02:38.82]But on our block we still play
[02:40.40]And I can't help but wonder why so many young kids had to die
[02:43.30]Caught strays from ak's in the drive by
[02:45.94]Swollen pride and homicide don't coincide
[02:48.63]Brothers cry for broken lives mama come inside
[02:51.36]'Cause our block is filled with danger
[02:53.25]Used to be a close knit community but now we're all cold strangers
[02:56.68]Time changes us to stone them crack pipes
[02:59.41]All up and down the block exterminatin' black life
[03:02.05]But I can't blame the dealers
[03:03.80]My mama's welfare check has brought the next man chrome wheels
[03:07.33]****s real I know you feel my tragedy
[03:09.81]A single mother with a problem child daddy free
[03:12.66]Hangin' out pickin' up game sippin' cheap liquor
[03:15.38]Gamin' the hooches hopin' I can get to sleep with her
[03:18.23]It's a man's world stayin' strapped
[03:20.52]Fantasies of a ni**a livin' phat but held back
[03:23.39]Pipe dreams can make the night seem hopeless
[03:26.05]Wide eyed and losin' focus on my block
[03:29.28]Livin' life is but a dream
[03:31.74]Hard times is all we see
[03:33.73]On my block
[03:34.40]Every block is kinda mean
[03:37.16]But on our block we still play
[03:42.80]But on our block we still play
[03:43.98]And block parties in tha projects lastin' way past daylight
[03:47.32]A young ni**a learned to break night
[03:49.33]Used to play fight with my homies but they stuck in the pen
[03:52.16]I send 'em ends but it's tough on a friend
[03:54.27]In my mind I see the same motherf**kers ballin'
[03:56.87]Alcohol will make a lazy ni**a slip and fall miss his call
[04:00.21]I know the young niggaz understand this
[04:02.15]Growin' up in this world where everythin' is scandalous
[04:05.51]I reminisce on tha fast times past crimes
[04:08.30]Tryin' to cop a slice of pizza with my last dime
[04:10.84]Can't explain just what attracts me to this dirty game
[04:13.51]Gold chains some extra change and the street fame
[04:16.13]And what's strange is everybody knows my name
[04:18.30]Swear they all know me
[04:19.50]And lots of cash make a ni**a change
[04:21.47]I hit the green just to maintain feelin' pain
[04:24.27]For all the niggaz that I lost to the game from my block
[04:27.77]That's right
[04:28.14]Livin' life is but a dream
[04:30.45]Hard times is all we see
[04:33.20]Every block is kinda mean
[04:34.83]From all the blocks that I'm from
