Brothers Hang On Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Yeah, yeah, yeah
I gotta send this one out to a people
who are in the midst of genocide
We need to be strong
600 ,000 brothers in jail
Brothers we got to hang on
My mind is poisoned from
the pictures that I see on
TV
The hookers are the killers always
seem to look like me, black
A silly plan or a super stupid plot
It's always me that the
Rock has seen to got hooked.
You let them tell it and I'm already through.
I just can't take it,
what am I supposed to do?
And all of my heroes are
rarely ever seen.
You killed off one just for
having a dream.
Every time we get it together,
Uncle
Tom's break us on up.
We're just like crabs in a basket,
but nobody let nobody out.
Why do we put each other down?
can't find a job
With decent pay
I hate the neighborhood where I stay
I'd call on
God
But I don't pray
I don't think I'll make it
Don't look any way
My mind is gone
I'm not your man, brothers hang on
You've got to hang on, yeah
Hang on, brothers hang on
Don't let go, slowly go
I see my homies just livin' so large
They rollin', they pass me by
With no [C]regards
[Am]Rollin' hard, the benefits of the game
Yeah, thankful, super thankful
Plus they got that
Motown fame
I tried to fight it, but I gotta survive
You can't tell me nothin'
when I'm barely alive
I lost my woman and my
self -respect
[Am]I think it's time that
I go and rap again
And walk the streets and sling me some dope
I got no money, plus I lost all hope
I'm gone
Hey, my brothers and my
You've got to hang on, yeah
Hey, my brothers and my
Don't let go, don't let go
And now I'm sweating cause
my mind is so confused
And I don't know which way
that I should choose
Mama would cry if she only knew
Well I think that I'm about to do it
My gun is loaded, and
Joe is waiting
And in this game, I could die for just a fake
So here I go, gotta take my chance
Drop this off, and I'll make a quick grand I'm scared as hell,
I really don't want this
life
But I gotta do something, if it's wrong or
It's not my fault,
that's what I keep saying
And inside my mind, help me
Lord, yo now I'm
praying, I'm gone
You've got to hang on, yeah, yeah
Don't let go, don't let go
Things have changed,
and I'm in deep, real deep
Two knives in my hand even
when I'm asleep
And if I sleep, I don't sleep long
Ten blocks of mine, yeah, it's going on
A lot of fly girls, stay on my job
You get it like that when
your name is just so hot
On top of the streets, and my bank is big
And now I'm glad that I did what I did
Fly suits, big cars, and plenty of gold
Jacuzzi bathtubs, and fly suit rooms
Enemies, I got them, but I don't care
It's better over here than it
was over there, I think
I'm all over the world
hang on
You've got to see
Oh, yeah
I'm all over the
Brothers hang on
Hang on, hang on
Someone is knocking
Who could that be?
A bass hit at my door
But I got no sympathy
You smoked a pipe last dildo
That's your thing
You try to jerk me,
all you get is a badge
Someone is knockin',
who could that be?
Shots ring out, yo they shootin' at me
I wear my
Uzi,
Uzi, but it's too late
I'm not
Tony the
Tiger, so I don't feel so great
My blood is runnin',
I can feel it on my face
And I wish somehow I could be
back at my old place
I'm dying fast, and I feel cold
Losing my life at 20 years old
Don't wanna die as the tears
form from my eyes
It's getting dark,
and I'm scared as I cry
Gonna miss my mama and my family too
I should've hung on, now my life is free
I pray to
God that you hear my song
Forget about the [Am]game, brothers,
my brothers, hang on
Yeah, yeah, brothers hang on
You've got to hang on, yeah
Yeah, yeah, my brothers hang on
You've got to hang on
Yeah, yeah, my brothers hang on
That's all you gotta do,
that's all you gotta do
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey.
Brother
Tango.
You got to try.
It's the only way to survive.
Brother
Tango.
Don't give up.
Keep it up.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, he -e -hey
Come on, come on
We all gotta keep it tough
We all gotta hang
[Am]The hammer's gotta hang
Busters gotta hang
I've [Am]been...
