My Block (nitty Remix) Lyrics - 2pac

Damn, take a ride to my block 

My block, that's right heh 

on my motherfuckin' block 

They got a nigga sheddin' tears, reminiscin' on my past fears 

'Cause shit was hectic for me last year 

It appears that I've been marked for death, my heartless breath 

The underlyin' 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 

Shit is scary, how 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 bastards

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Watch Will Smith perform to iconic song 'Prince Ali' from Aladdin 

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 niggaz on welfare 

And who cares if we survive 

The only time they notice a nigga is when he's clutchin' on a four five 

My neighborhood ain't the same 

'Cause all these 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, niggaz give me props 

Forever hope 'cause it don't stop on my block 

Livin' life is but a dream 

Hard times is all we see 

On my block 

Every block is kinda mean 

But on our block we still play 

But on our block we still play 

Photos 

Now shits constantly hot, on my block, it never fails to be gunshots 

Can't explain a mother's pain, when her son drops 

Black male slippin' in hail, when will we prevail? 

Fearin' jail but crack sales got me livin' well 

And the system's suicidal with this thug's life 

Stayin' strapped forever strapped in this drug life 

God help me, 'cause I'm starvin' can't get a job 

So I resort to violent robberies 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 

Mislead 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 bullshit 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 

Livin' life is but a dream 

Hard times is all we see 

On my block 

Every block is kinda mean 

But on our block we still play 

But on our block we still play 

And I can't help but wonder why, so many young kids had to die 

Caught strays from A.K's in the 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 

Shits real, I know you feel, my tragedy 

A single mother with a problem child, daddy free 

Hangin' out pickin' up game, sippin' cheap liquor 

Gamin' the hooches, hopin' I can get to sleep with her 

It's a man's world, stayin' strapped 

Fantasies of a nigga livin' phat, but held back 

Pipe dreams can make the night seem hopeless 

Wide eyed and losin' focus on my block 

Livin' life is but a dream 

Hard times is all we see 

On my block 

Every block is kinda mean 

But on our block we still play 

But on our block we still play 

And block parties in tha projects lastin' way past daylight 

A young nigga learned to break night 

Used to play fight with my homies but they stuck in the pen 

I send 'em ends, but it's tough on a friend 

In my mind I see the same motherfuckers ballin' 

Alcohol will make a lazy nigga slip and fall, miss his call 

I know the young niggaz understand this 

Growin' up in this world where everythin' 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 everybody knows my name 

Swear they all know me 

And lots of cash make a nigga change 

I hit the green just to maintain, feelin' pain 

For all the niggaz that I lost to the game from my block 

Thats right 

Livin' life is but a dream 

Hard times is all we see 

Rest in peace to all the muh'fuckers who passed away 

Every block is kinda mean 

From all the blocks that I'm from 

But on our block we still play 

One twelve street, Seventh Avenue, New York, Uptown 

Know what I'm sayin? 

But on our block we still play 

183rd and Walt, my block, that's right 

But on our block we still play 

122nd and Morningside, my block, that's right 

But on our block we still play 

Decatur Avenue, Baltimore, my block, that's right 

But on our block we still play 

In the jungle of Atlantic city, that's my block, that's right 

But on our block we still play 

Los Angeles, aha, that's my block too 

But on our block we still play 

Oakland, can't forget Oaktown, that's my block for sure 

But on our block we still play 

And all the other blocks around this motherfucker 

Houston, Florida, St. Louis, Tennessee, Miami, Chicago 

All y'all niggaz stay kickin' up dust 

Representin' motherfuckin' block
