Artist: 2Pac f/ Outlawz Album: Better Dayz (Disc Two) Song: They Don't Give a Fuck About Us Typed by: r0llinlacs@yahoo.com [Intro] Y'all ain't never just tripped and pictured Just looked at the whole situation Cause once you 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse One, 2Pac] Some say niggaz is hardheaded cause we love to trick Equipped with game so we bang with this thuggish shit I see ya try to hide hoping that nobody don't notice You must always remember your still a member of the hopeless See you're black like me So you snap like me When these devils try to plot Trap our young black seeds, look it Coppers as crooked as the niggaz they chasing Looking for role models Our father figures is basin' Some say expect illuminati Take my body to sleep Niggaz at the party with they shotties just as rowdy as me Before I flee computer chips, I gotta deal with brothers flipping I don't see no devils bleeding only black blood dripping We can change, watch ya mouths 'ey I'm watching niggaz work they lives out, without pay Whatever it takes to switch places with the bustas on top I'm busting shots make the world stop They don't give a fuck about us [Chorus] Now 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 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 [Verse Two] 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, dog I don't doubt you See the simple fact of the matters they don't give a fuck about you Or them five mouths you forced to feed Not including yourself All you want is wealth, they perceive it as greed So as you loaded up that mac you continue to bust The mob was on paper thinking they don't give a fuck about us [2Pac] I'm seeing it clearer Hatin' 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 bloodbath The aftermath is y'alls I told you 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 Then they dead when my guns bust They don't give a fuck about us [Chorus] Now 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 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 [Verse Three] Now all the homies got love for me Down to catch a slug for me Guarantee to bleed deeply Now that's love Shit, nobody else would give a fuck if I'm tow down From the floor down 6 feet deep bended cut What the fuck done went wrong How long will I be mourned When I'm gone same song And give a fuck all along And who am I to blame ?em Just doing die through the rain 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 Present times we busted like bubbles With the police this nation's beasts 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 hurting messed a hustle whistle die uncertain So I stay up until I'm working I see no reason so I sleep All these seeds in the season Why you stuck thinking that they give a fuck You tell me that my world is in peace Well nigga you're lying Cause half of my niggaz 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 aint changed that's awful I wake up sweating, dreaming, coughing Seeing me upside down back was head Twisted while I'm laying in the coffin The shit comes around so often So tell me something Before I take it out on the world And get the dumping Nigga I'll be so for bang go through the struggle I'm doing the same thing you did at my age in as hustling On the edge of straight busting What's this you don't give a fuck and you fronting? I'm a drink my Hennessey Like it aint nothing [Chorus/outro, 2Pac] Now if I choose to ride Thuggin til the day I die They don't give a fuck about us But while we kickin rhymes Gettin into they childrens 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 gettin high I'm watchin as the world goes by Cause they don't give a fuck about us Now if I choose to ride Thuggin til' the day I die They don't give a fuck about us But while we kickin rhymes Gettin into they childrens 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 But while we gettin high Watchin as the world goes by Cause they don't give a fuck about us Rise (Rise my nation) Riiiise (Riiiise) They don't give a fuck about us Riiise! (Get y'all asses on the right path, nigga) Rise! Cause they don't give a fuck about us Get'cha money, nigga get'cha MONEY!! (Who the fuck you think "us" is?)
