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 fuck about us   They don't give a fuck about us   They don't give a fuck about us      Thuggin' till the day I die   Nobody gives a fuck about us   And when I start to rise   A hero in their children's eyes   Now they give a fuck about us      Some say niggaz is hard headed   'Cause we love to trick   Equipped with game   So we bang with this thuggish shit   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 fuck about us      And if I choose to ride   Thuggin' till the day I die   'Cause they don't give a fuck about us   But when I start to rise   A hero in they children's eyes   Now they give a fuck about us      And if I choose to ride   Thuggin' till the day I die   Nobody gives a fuck about us   But when I start to rise   A hero in they children's eyes   Now they give a fuck 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 fuck 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 fuck about us      I'm seeing it clearer   Hating the picture in the mirror   They claim we inferior   So why the fuck 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 fuck about us      And if I choose to ride   Thuggin' till the day I die   Nobody gives a fuck about us   But when I start to rise   A hero in they children's eyes   Now they give a fuck about us      And if I choose to ride   Thuggin' till the day I die   Nobody gives a fuck about us   But when I start to rise   A hero in they children's eyes   Now they give a fuck 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   Shit,nobody else could give a fuck   If I'm tore down, from the floor down   Six-feet deep in the cut      What the fuck done went wrong   How long will I be mourned?   When I'm gone, same song   Ain't gave a fuck all along   And who am I to blame em?   Just do or die through the rainin'   Since they don't give a fuck   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 fuck      You tell me my world is in peace, but nigga 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, shit 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 shit comes around so often   So tell me something   Before I take it out on the world, and get to dumpin'      Nigga 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 fuck   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 fuck about us   While I'm kickin' rhymes, getting to their children's minds   Now they give a fuck about us      They wanna see us die, they kick us every time we try   'Cause they don't give a fuck about us   So while I'm getting high, I'm watching as the world goes by   'Cause they don't give a fuck about us      Now if I choose to ride, thuggin' till the day I die   They don't give a fuck about us   While I'm kickin' rhymes, getting to their children's minds   Now they give a fuck about us      They wanna see us die, they kick us every time we try   'Cause they don't give a fuck about us   So while I'm getting high, I'm watching as the world goes by   'Cause they don't give a fuck about us
