My Block Chords by 2Pac

[Abm] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Gb] _ [B] _ _
_ [Abm] We have people [Ebm] in the back, we need [E] a class running to the east of the [B] runway, east of the [Gb] runway.
We have four [Abm] people, five people running, [Ebm] east of the runway.
[E] Take a [Abm] ride to my block.
I'll give a skid, clear down.
[Ebm] That's right.
Go!
[E] Heh, bro, my mother [B] fuckin' right.
Hey, got [Abm] a nigga, shit and tears, [Ebm] reminiscing on my [E] past fears,
cause shit was [B] hectic for me last year, [Abm] it appears that I've been [Ebm] marked for death.
My heart left [E] breasts, the underline [B] causing my arrest,
[Gb] my life [Abm] is stressed, and no rest [Ebm] forever weary.
My [E] eyes stay tip for all the [B] brothers that I [Gb] buried in the [Abm] cemetery.
Shit is scary, [Ebm] I'm black on black, crime [E] legendary, but at times [B] unnecessary.
[Gb] I'm getting [Abm] rugged, dead drops [Ebm] and closed caskets,
the police [E] strikes, large [B] drastic, and certain death [Gb] for us ghetto [Abm] bastards.
What can we do [Ebm] when we're arrested?
But I'll [E] revive, life in the [B] pen ain't for me, cause I'd rather [Abm] die,
but don't cry [Ebm] through your despair.
I'll end [B] it if the Lord still cares for us [Gb] niggas,
or [Abm] won't spare, and who cares [Ebm] if we survive?
The [E] only time he notice a nigga [B] is when he's clutching on a [Abm] 4-5,
my neighborhood [Ebm] ain't the same,
cause [E] all the little babies going [B] crazy, or they suffering in [Abm] the game,
and I swear [Ebm] it's like a trap,
but I [E] ain't giving up on the hood, [B] it's all [Gb] good when I [Abm] go back.
Bo's show [Ebm] me love, niggas give [E] me props,
forever [B] hot, cause it don't stop, [Abm] on my block.
[Ebm] Living life is but [E] a dream, [B] hard times is all [Abm] we see,
[Ebm] every block is [E] kinda mean,
[B] but on our block we [Abm] still play.
_ [Ebm] _ [E] _ [B] But on our block we still play.
That shit is constantly hot, on my block, it never fails, took me gunshots,
can't explain the mother's pain when the [Abm] sun drops,
black males [Ebm] living in hell, when will we [E] prevail?
Fear in jail, [B] but crack sales got me [Abm] living well,
in a sense [Ebm] I'm suicidal with this [E] cubs life,
staying strapped [B] forever, trapped in this [Abm] drug life,
God help [Ebm] me cause I'm starving, can't get [E] a job,
so I resent [B] the violent robbers, my [Abm] life is hard,
can't sleep [Ebm] cause all the dirt make my [E] heart hurt,
putting work [B] and shed tears for my [Abm] dead peers,
misled [Ebm] from childhood, but I went [E] straight,
to this day [B] I still pray for a [Abm] better way,
can't help [Ebm] but feel hopeless and [E] heart broke,
from the start [B] I felt the [Gb] racism [Abm] cause I'm dark,
couldn't quit [Ebm] the bullshit, make me [E] represent,
hit the [B] bar, played the [Gb] star, everywhere [Abm] I went,
in my heart [Ebm] I felt alone, out here [B] on my own,
[Gb] I close my eyes and picture [Abm] home, on my block,
[Ebm] living life is [E] but a dream, [B] hard times is all [Abm] you see,
[Ebm] every block is [E] kind of mean,
[B] but on the block we [Abm] still pray,
_ [Ebm] _ [E] _ [B] and I can't [Abm] help but wonder, why [B] so many young kids [E] had to die,
caught [B] strays from AK's in the [Abm] drive by,
swallowing [Ebm] pride and homicide, don't [E] go inside,
brothers cry [B] for broken lives, mama [Abm] come inside,
cause our [Ebm] block is filled with danger,
[E] used to be a close knit [B] community,
but now we're all [Abm] cold strangers,
time [Ebm] changes us to stone and [E] crack pipes,
all up and [B] down the block [Gb] exterminating [Abm] black lives,
but I [Ebm] can't blame the dealers,
my [B] mama's welfare check,
is what the [Gb] next man [Abm] thrown with,
shit's [Ebm] real I know you feel,
my [E] tragedy, a single [B] mother with a problem child,
[Abm] got free, hanging out, [Ebm] picking up games,
sipping [E] cheap liquor,
gaming the [B] hoochies open, I can get to [Abm] sleep with her,
it's a [Ebm] man's world, staying [Em] strapped,
fantasies of a [B] nigga living fat,
but [Abm] hell batten,
pipe [Ebm] dreams can make the night seem [B] hopeless,
wide eyed and losing [Gb] focus,
[Abm] on my block,
[Ebm] living life is [E] but a dream,
[B] what counts is [Abm] only pain,
and my block _ [Ebm] is family,
[E] my [B] block is [Abm] family,
my block [Ebm] is family,
[E] _ [B] my block is family,
my block [Abm] is family,
[B] projects lasting the way past daylight,
a young nigga learned to break,
now I [Abm] used to play right,
with my homies but they [Ebm] stuck in the [E] pen,
I see them ends but it's [B] tough on a friend,
in my [Abm] mind I see the same [Ebm] motherfuckers balling,
[E] alcohol to make the [B] lazy niggas slip and fall,
Mrs.
[Abm] Carl,
I know these young niggas [Ebm] understand this,
growing [E] up in this world where [B] everything is scandalous,
[Abm] I reminisce on the [Eb] past times,
past [E] crimes,
trying to cop a slice of [B] pizza with my [Gb] last dime,
[Abm] can't explain just what [Ebm] attracts me to this dirty game, [E] gold chain,
some extra [B] change and the street fame,
[Abm] and what's strange is [Ebm] everybody know my name,
swear [E] they all know me,
and lots of [B] cash make a [Gb] nigga change,
[Abm] I hit the green just to [Ebm] maintain,
feeling [E] pain for all the niggas that I [B] lost to the gang,
but [Abm] my block,
[Ebm] living life is [E] but a dream,
[B] what counts is [Abm] only pain,
and [Ebm] my block [E] is family,
[B] my block [Abm] is family,
