What can we do when we're arrested, but open Life in the pen for me, 'cause I'd rather die But cry through your despair I wonder if the Lord cares, for us niggaz on welfare And who if we survive The only time they notice a nigga is he's clutchin' on a four five My neighborhood ain't the all these little babies goin' crazy And they sufferin' in the game and I swear it's like a But I ain't given up on the hood, all good when I go back showin me love, niggaz give me props Forever 'cause it don't stop on my block
