[Intro]
Now, I got a gut feeling
Maybe it's not just a gut feeling, take a look around
I ain't tryna preach, but we know the facts

[Chorus]
They kick you when you're down and leave you in the dust
It's sad, but they don't give a fuck about us
We're living in a rush, forget about trust
'Cause they don't give a fuck about us
It's all about bread, they wanna see you dead or in debt
And they don't give a fuck about us
Tell the world to calm down, I'm tryna stick around
But they don't give a fuck about us

[Verse 1]
Layin' in a hospital bed, that make you think
This shit could be over 'fore you think, what we eat and we drink
Is killin' more of us than violence in the streets
Free my cousin Mike, shit, I ain't talk to him in weeks
Whеn you sittin' in a cell for twenty-three a day
And you can't get thе hour 'cause the staff underpaid
Burn every single prison down, we're not slaves
It's hard to soak all this in and not rage
Investors tryna bring me down while I'm sick
Tell 'em, "Suck my dick"
I bounced back, yeah, I'm back outside
Let's ride, the bags under my eyes from all their lies
I realized power's really just a devil in disguise
One thing I despise is a two-faced snake full of greed
And they wonder why my lungs full of weed
[Chorus]
They kick you when you're down and leave you in the dust
It's sad, but they don't give a fuck about us
We're living in a rush, forget about trust
'Cause they don't give a fuck about us
It's all about bread, they wanna see you dead or in debt
They don't give a fuck about us
Tell the world to calm down, I'm tryna stick around
But they don't give a fuck about us

[Verse 2]
Called for a temperature check, "How do you feel?"
They don't even fuck about us, I'm just keepin' it real
You just got your shit seized, did it leak through the seal?
Or did your homie snitch on you and agree to the deal?
It get hard just to be on the field, it really do
But the man up top get me here, so I'ma see it through
All the pain and the mind games played been the same
They just pulled a PICC line right outta my vein
Another bridge burned, they want a back door
They wanna smile in your face when you at war
They'll leave you on read when you need help most
Half my friends in jail, but I still sell dope
We ain't got no hope, it's hard to pray
When you're constantly betrayed in a world full of hate
They try and tell me, "Have faith"
Then turn around and act fake
[Chorus]
They kick you when you're down and leave you in the dust
It's sad, but they don't give a fuck about us
We're living in a rush, forget about trust
'Cause they don't give a fuck about us
It's all about bread, they wanna see you dead or in debt
And they don't give a fuck about us
Tell the world to calm down, I'm tryna stick around
But they don't give a fuck about us

[Outro: 2Pac]
They ain't give a fuck about us
They ain'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' 'til 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' 'til the day I die
Nobody gives a fuck about us
