Y'all ain't never just tripped and pictured

And just looked at the whole situation

'Cause once u look at it

You know

(You really do) They don't give a f**k about us

They don't give a f**k about us

They don't give a f**k about us

Thuggin' till the day I die

Nobody gives a f**k about us

And when I start to rise

A hero in their children's eyes

Now they give a f**k about us

Some say niggaz is hard headed

'Cause we love to trick

Equipped with game

So we bang with this thuggish sh*t

I see you trying to hide

Hoping that nobody don't notice

You must always remember

You still a member of the hopeless

See ya black like me

So you snap like me

When these devils try to plot

Trap our young black seeds

Look it

Cops are just as crooked

As the niggas they chasin'

Lookin' for role models

Our father figures is bases

Some say they expect illuminati

Take my body to sleep

Niggas at the party with they shortys

Just as rowdy as me

Before I flee computer chips

I gotta deal with brothers flippin'

I don't see no devils bleedin'

Only black blood drippin' We can change

Whatcha now say

I'm watchin' niggaz work their lives out without pay

Whatever it takes to switch places with the bustas on top

I'm bustin' shots make the world stop

They don't give a f**k about us

And if I choose to ride

Thuggin' till the day I die

'Cause they don't give a f**k about us

But when I start to rise

A hero in they children's eyes

Now they give a f**k about us

And if I choose to ride

Thuggin' till the day I die

Nobody gives a f**k about us

But when I start to rise

A hero in they children's eyes

Now they give a f**k about us

It's the morning after and now all the laughter is gone

Time to reflect on what you did

'Cause they saying you wrong

I'm sure you had your reasons dawg

I don't doubt you

See the simple fact of the matter is

They don't give a f**k about you

Or them five mouths you forced to feed

Not including yourself

All you want is what they perceiving as greed

So as you loaded up that

Mack and continue to buck 'em

I was on paper thinking

They don't give a f**k about us

I'm seeing it clearer

Hating the picture in the mirror

They claim we inferior

So why the f**k these devils fear ya

I'm watching my nation die genocide the 'cause

Expect a blood bath

The aftermath is y'alls

I told ya last album we need help 'cause we dying

Give us a chance help us advance 'cause we trying

Ignored my whole plea watching us in disgust

And then they beg when my guns bust

They don't give a f**k about us

And if I choose to ride

Thuggin' till the day I die

Nobody gives a f**k about us

But when I start to rise

A hero in they children's eyes

Now they give a f**k about us

And if I choose to ride

Thuggin' till the day I die

Nobody gives a f**k about us

But when I start to rise

A hero in they children's eyes

Now they give a f**k about us

Now all my homies got love for me

Down to catch a slug for me

Guaranteed to bleed deeply

Now that's love

Sh*t nobody else could give a f**k

If I'm tore down from the floor down

Six-feet deep in the cut

What the f**k done went wrong

How long will I be mourned

When I'm gone same song

Ain't gave a f**k all along

And who am I to blame em

Just do or die through the rainin'

Since they don't give a f**k

I don't feel what I'm saying

Now thug niggaz die but multiply in doubles

Wrapped in plastic

Or closed casket for our troubles

Pressed in times

We busted like bubbles

With the police

This nation's peace sent here to run you

Now look at what this crooked world has come to

I grew up on the other side of perfect a life of hurtin'

Man I still hustle so I'm dyin' certain

So I spent your time in poor and working

I see no reason

So I stay ballin' season to season

Why you stuck thinking that they give a f**k

You tell me my world is in peace but ni**a your lying

'Cause half of my niggas long gone

Buried in the dirt just for trying

Sometimes I think my block is dying

And that it's awful

To wake up to another day

Sh*t ain't change that all fool

I wake up sweatin dreamin coughin

Seein' me upside down backwards head twisted

While I'm layin' in the coffin

The sh*t comes around so often

So tell me something

Before I take it out on the world

And get to dumpin'

Ni**a I been so through pain go through the struggle

Doin' the same thing you did at my age and that's hustlin'

On the edge of straight bustin'

Well since you don't give a f**k

I'll be frontin'

And I'm a drink my Hennessey like it ain't nothin'

Now if I choose to ride thuggin' till the day I die

They don't give a f**k about us

While I'm kickin' rhymes

Getting to their children's minds

Now they give a f**k about us

They wanna see us die

They kick us every time we try

'Cause they don't give a f**k about us

So while I'm getting high

I'm watching as the world goes by

'Cause they don't give a f**k about us

Now if I choose to ride thuggin' till the day I die

They don't give a f**k about us

While I'm kickin' rhymes

Getting to their children's minds

Now they give a f**k about us

They wanna see us die they kick us every time we try

'Cause they don't give a f**k about us

So while I'm getting high

I'm watching as the world goes by

'Cause they don't give a f**k about us
