They Don't Give a F**k About Us Lyrics By 2Pac
Y'all ain't never just tripped and pictured
And just looked at the whole situation
'Cause once you look at it, you know
They don't give a fuck about us
They don't give a fuck about us
They don't give a fuck about us
If I choose to ride
Thugging till the day I die
Nobody gives a fuck about us
When I start to rise
A hero in their children's eyes
Now they give a fuck about us
Some say **** is hard headed 'cause we love to trick
Equipped with game so we bang with this thuggish shit
I see you tryna hide, hoping 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 **** they chasing
Looking for role models, our father figures is bases
Some say expect the Illuminati take my body to sleep
**** with they shorties at the party just as rowdy as me
Before I flip computer chips, I gotta deal with brothers flipping
I don't see no devils bleeding, only black blood dripping
We can change, what your mouth say?
I'm watching **** work their lives out without pay
Whatever it takes to switch places with the busters on top
I'm busting shots, make the world stop
They don't give a fuck about us
And if I choose to ride
Thugging till the day I die
'Cause they don't give a fuck about us
But when I start to rise
A hero in their children's eyes
Now they give a fuck about us
If I choose to ride
Thugging till the day I die
Nobody gives a fuck about us
But when I start to rise
A hero in their 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, dog, 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 loaded up that mac and continued 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's the cause
Expect a blood bath, the aftermath is y'all's
I told you 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
Then they bag when my guns bust
They don't give a fuck about us
And if I choose to ride
Thugging till the day I die
Nobody gives a fuck about us
But when I start to rise
A hero in their children's eyes
Now they give a fuck about us
If I choose to ride
Thugging till the day I die
Nobody gives a fuck about us
But when I start to rise
A hero in their 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 give a fuck all along
And who am I to blame 'em?
Just do and die through the raining
Since they don't give a fuck, I don't
Feel what I'm saying?
Now thug **** 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 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 hurting
Man, I still hustle, so I'm dying certain
So I spent your time poor and working
I see no reason, so I stay balling season to season
Why you stuck thinking that they give a fuck?
You tell me that my world is in peace
But, ****, you're lying
'Cause half of my **** 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 at all, fool
I wake up sweating, dreaming, coughing
Seeing me upside down, backwards, head twisted
While I'm laying in the coffin
The shit shit comes around so often
So tell me something
Before I take it out on the world and get to dumping
****, I been suffering, going through the struggle
And I'm doing the same thing you did at my age
And that's hustling
On the edge of straight busting
Well, since you don't give a fuck, I'll be fronting
I'ma drink my Hennessy like it ain't nothing
And if I choose to ride
Thugging till the day I die
They don't give a fuck about us
While I'm kicking rhymes
Get into 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
If I choose to ride
Thugging till the day I die
They don't give a fuck about us
While I'm kicking rhymes
Get into 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
While I'm getting high
I'm watching as the world goes by
'Cause they don't give a fuck about us
Rise, rise
