We was born in a grave, raised by slaves Taught me misbehave to prove that we are brave Livin in a prison where you can't see the cage And you can't see the walls but you movin' through a maze Goin' round in a circle, dizzy in a daze Eyes fuzzy from the gunsmoke, mirrors and the haze So you take another blunt toke, set your mind ablaze Tryna burn away the pain but the hurt still stays And it's never gonna fade, it's far from a phase We're victims of the ways of the times and the age How we gonna turn fate? We not on the same page We ain't got enough faith in ourselves to make a chance We be waitin' on celebrities with fortune and fame To do somethin' for the hood and that ain't even they aim It's a real damn shame, we caught up in the game But I'm tired of playin, I'm gonna agitate the frame When I look in the sky, it don't be lookin' clear for us And it ain't never seem like anybody care for us And in the end, we the only ones there for us Who gonna listen if somebody say a prayer for us? Pac made it plain, and I want for you to know Just cuz you in the ghetto doesn't mean you can't grow Just cuz you in the ghetto doesn't mean you can't grow Just cuz you in the ghetto doesn't mean you can't grow We was birthed in the dirt, 5 centuries of work Still livin' at the bottom not seeing our true worth As the cream of the crop and the salt of the earth Meanwhile, children of the slave traders' seein' perks And we keep'em all paid, we get played like jerks Who you think made the cotton material in ya shirt? How you think they got rich? Where they get the cotton first? I'm feelin' like buyin stock in it before I feel worse Thoughts rushin' through my mind, my head about to burst Gotta fight off the idea that people were born cursed There's devils all around, I can feel'em in the church So I turn to myself to quench my soul's thirst Holy water of my tears wash where my fears lurk Replacin the sad times of the years with a smirk Take the lessons that I learnt like a lotus through the murk Like a phoenix through the flames, I'ma rise through the hurt When I look in the sky, it don't be lookin' clear for us And it ain't never seem like anybody care for us And in the end, we the only ones there for us Who gonna listen if somebody say a prayer for us? Pac made it plain, and I want for you to know Just cuz you in the ghetto doesn't mean you can't grow Just cuz you in the ghetto doesn't mean you can't grow Just cuz you in the ghetto doesn't mean you can't grow I had dreams of Gil Scott still runnin' from the vulture But we the only ones still fighting for the culture, true But our face ain't on top of the poster It's too much food for thought, and they was givin ulcers I'm in a drought, cloud blocked by the boulders I'm doin' a raindance for concrete roses Rise allow bloom in your petals to reach I'm Godlike, and God never settles for least I'm on top even if the ground is weak I won't sink even if there's water beneath I take sail, some of my thoughts was like jail But I gained knowledge of self and post bail I won't fail, I build heaven inside of my hell I'll always prevail through the maze I'm too on key to be caged They all hate but have no choice but be amazed When I look in the sky, it don't be lookin' clear for us And it ain't never seem like anybody care for us And in the end, we the only ones there for us Who gonna listen if somebody say a prayer for us? Pac made it plain, and I want for you to know Just cuz you in the ghetto doesn't mean you can't grow Just cuz you in the ghetto doesn't mean you can't grow Just cuz you in the ghetto doesn't mean you can't grow
