They got a nigga sheddin' tears, on my past fears 'Cause shit was hectic for me last It appears I've been marked for death, my heartless breath The underlyin' cause of my arrest, my life is And no rest forever weary, my stay teary For all the brothers are buried in the cemetery Shit is scary, how black on crime legendary But at times unnecessary, I'm worried Teardrops and caskets, the three strikes law is drastic And certain death for us, ghetto
What can we do when we're arrested, but fire? in the pen ain't for me, 'cause I'd rather die But don't cry through despair I wonder if the Lord still cares, for us on welfare And who cares if we The time they notice a nigga is when he's clutchin' on a four five My neighborhood ain't the 'Cause all these babies goin' crazy And they sufferin' in the game and I swear like a trap But I given up on the hood, it's all good when I go back Hoes show me love, niggaz me props Forever hope 'cause it don't stop on my
