They Don't Give A F**** About Us - 2Pac, The Outlawz

Y’all ain’t never just tripped and pictured

And just looked at the whole situation

Cause once u look at it

You know

(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

They don’t give 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 wit 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 shotties

Just as rowdy as me

Before I flee computer chips

I gotta deal wit brothas 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 (huh)

Whatever it takes to switch places wit 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

(Nobody)

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 (uh-huh)

No 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

Ignore 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

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 hurti
