Broken Dreams

This so sad to see it

You gotta keep your head up man

Keep ya head up

If you don't stay away from all the leaches man

Then all the people that wanna see you

They love to see you bad like that

Keep ya head up man

Yo, yo

A few niggas round my way, wanted to sell some drugs

Now I ain't no thug, or I thought I was

Young niggas in the hood, we throw away

If you make it, you make it

21 niggas be dying too young, all the niggas calling shots

Preying on the weak, seeing those spots

Put in little pressure, intimidate your neighbor

See a murder's going on, that's some outlaw shit

Niggas in the complex is hit man

Selling cocaine out the wheelchair

And I ain't understand fully til I got a little older

Niggas had dashes in the hood

Dirty money, got it all

When you ball, you ball

And when you fall you fall

When you heatin every day, niggas hit them all

Both police watch you like white on rice

Task force, nothing nice

I'd give a lil advice

I walk by death every day,

Lost souls ready to die for anything

My nigga Kurupt got hooked on heroin

Had a overdose, RIP my brother

Apart of life struggles, you know I love ya

We all rootin for ya, I'm not tryina get a lawyer

I'm not tryina be sober

He loved girls way too much, one broke his heart

He cried in the dark, in the light he put his pimp face on

Started beatin on bitches

Man, for all the pain inside

I prayed for him, he started snortin cocaine

Just to deal with it, shit and all that pain

I seen him on the bus, he was shaking

Tryina use a payphone, asking me for a quarter

Times really do change, the hood put on pressure

Being broke is a label, we all struggle together

Appreciate the struggle, don't take it still

My young niggas died for breaking they houses

Went in the wrong and dude gave him a don

His whole chest was bout as big as my head

Another young nigga dead,

Moving way too fast and they in the city, hidin the cash

Stolen rental, thinkin bout robbin banks

If you can't get no cheddar, that's the easy way out

The plus ten - the better

Ten years in the cell, your life change forever

Niggas not loyal, I don't expect it

Niggas be jealous, they don't respect it

Niggas be fake at the end of the day

This their broken dreams

It's Lil B
