Y'all ain't never just tripped and pictured
And just looked at the whole situation
'Cause once you look at it
You know (Really do)

They don't give a f*ck about us
They don't give a f*ck about us
They don't give a f*ck about us
If I choose to ride, thuggin' 'til the day I die
Nobody gives a f*ck about us
And when I start to rise
A hero in their children's eyes
Now they give a f*ck about us

Some say niggas is hard headed ‘cause we love to trick
Equipped with game so we bang with this thuggish shit
I see you tryin' to hide, hopin' that nobody don't notice
You must always remember
You're 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, cops are just as crooked as the niggas they chasin'
Lookin' for role models, our father figures is basers
Some say they expect Illuminati take my body to sleep
Niggas at the party with they shotties just as rowdy as me
Before I fear computer chips, I gotta deal with brothers flippin'
I don't see no devils bleedin', only black blood drippin'
We can change, what your mouth say?
I'm watchin' niggas work their lives out without pay
Whatever it takes to switch places with the busters on top
I'm bustin' shots, make the world stop
They don't give a f*ck about us

Now if I choose to ride, thuggin' 'til the day I die
Nobody gives a f*ck about us
But when I start to rise
A hero in their children's eyes
Now they give a f*ck about us
If I choose to ride, thuggin' 'til the day I die
Nobody gives a f*ck about us
But when I start to rise
A hero in their children's eyes
Now they give a f*ck 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*ck about you
Or them five mouths you forced to feed (Uh-huh)
Not including yourself, all you want is wealth, they perceive it as greed
So as you loaded up that MAC and continue to bust
I was on paper, thinkin' they don't give a f*ck about us

I'm seein' it clearer, hatin' the picture in the mirror
They claim we inferior, so why the f*ck these devils fear ya?
I'm watchin' my nation die, genocide the cause
Expect a blood bath, the aftermath is y'alls
I told you, last album, we need help 'cause we dyin'
Give us a chance, help us advance, ‘cause we tryin'
Ignore my whole plea, watchin' us in disgust
And then they beg when my guns bust
They don't give a f*ck about us

Now if I choose to ride, thuggin' 'til the day I die
Nobody gives a f*ck about us
But when I start to rise
A hero in their children's eyes
Now they give a f*ck about us
If I choose to ride, thuggin' 'til the day I die
Nobody gives a f*ck about us
But when I start to rise
A hero in their children's eyes
Now they give a f*ck 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 f*ck
If I'm tore down, from the floor down, six-feet deep in the cut
What the f*ck done went wrong?
How long will I be mourned?
When I'm gone, same song, ain't gave a f*ck all along
And who am I to blame 'em?
Just do or die through the rainin'
Since they don't give a f*ck, I don't, feel what I'm sayin'?

Now, thug niggas 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'
Master a hustle, soon dyin' certain
So I spent your time in poor and workin', I see no reason
So I stay ballin' season to season
Why you stuck thinkin' that they give a f*ck?

You tell me my world is in peace, but nigga, you're lyin'
‘Cause half of my niggas long gone
Buried in the dirt just for tryin'
Sometimes I think my block is dyin' and that is awful
To wake up to another day, shit ain't changed that's 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 somethin'
Before I take it out on the world, and get to dumpin'
Nigga, I be so in vain, go through the struggle
And I'm 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*ck, I be frontin'
I'mma drink my Hennessy like it ain't nothin'

Now if I choose to ride, thuggin' 'til the day I die
They don't gives a f*ck about us
But while I'm kickin' rhymes
Kick it to their children's minds
Now they give a f*ck about us
They wanna see us die
They kick us every time we try
‘Cause they don't give a f*ck about us
So while I'm gettin' high
I'm watchin' as the world goes by
‘Cause they don't give a f*ck about us
If I choose to ride, thuggin' 'til the day I die
They don't gives a f*ck about us
But while I'm kickin' rhymes
Kick it to their children's minds
Now they give a f*ck about us
They wanna see us die
They kick us every time we try
‘Cause they don't give a f*ck about us
So while I'm gettin' high
I'm watchin' as the world goes by
‘Cause they don't give a f*ck about us
Rise, rise
