2pac - They Don't Give A f** About Us lyrics

(feat. Outlawz) Y'all ain't never just tripped and pictured And just looked at the whole situation Cause once u look at it You know (really do) They don't give a f** about us They don't give a f** about us They don't give a f** about us Thuggin' till the day I die They don't give a f** about us And when I start to rise A hero in their children's eyes Now they give a f** about us [Tupac] Some say n***az is hard headed cause we love to trick Equipped with game so we bang wit this thuggish sh** 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 n***as they chasin' Lookin' for role models Our father figures is bases Some say they expect Illuminati take my body to sleep n***as at the party with they shotties Just as rowdy as me Before I flee computer chips I gotta deal wit brothas flippin I don't see no devils bleedin' Only black blood drippin We can change Whatcha now say? I'm watchin n***az work their lives out without pay (huh) Whatever it takes to switch places wit the bustas on top I'm bustin' shots make the world stop They don't give a f** about us [Chorus] And if I choose to ride Thuggin' till the day I die (Nobody) Cause they don't give a f** about us But when I start to rise A hero in they children's eyes Now they give a f** about us And if I choose to ride Thuggin' till the day I die Nobody gives a f** about us But when I start to rise A hero in they children's eyes Now they give a f** about us [EDI] 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** about you Or them five mouths you forced to feed (uh-huh) No 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** about us [Tupac] I'm seeing it clearer Hating the picture in the mirror They claim we inferior So why the f** 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 Ignore my whole plea, watching us in disgust And then they beg when my guns bust They don't give a f** about us [Chorus x2] And if I choose to ride Thuggin' till the day I die Nobody gives a f** about us But when I start to rise A hero in they children's eyes Now they give a f** about us [Kastro] Now all my homies got love for me Down to catch a slug for me Guaranteed to bleed deeply Now that's love sh** Nobody else could give a f** If I'm tore down, from the floor down Six-feet deep in the cut What the f** done went wrong How long will I be mourned? When I'm gone, same song Ain't gave a f** all along And who am I to blame em? Just do or die through the rainin' Since they don't give a f** I don't Feel what I'm saying? [Kadafi] Now thug n***az 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**? [Napolean] You tell me my world is in peace, but n***a your lying Cause half of my n***as, 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** 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** comes around so often So tell me something Before I take it out on the world, and get to dumpin' n***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** I be frontin And I'ma drink my Hennessey like it ain't nothin [Outro x2] Now if I choose to ride, thuggin' till the day I die They don't give a f** about us While I'm kickin rhymes, getting to their children's minds Now they give a f** about us They wanna see us die, they kick us every time we try They don't give a f** about us So while I'm getting high, I'm watching as the world goes by Cause they don't give a f** about us
