The Blocks Lyrics

Yeah, nigga

The voice of the voiceless, yeah

LPR, let's get it

After the rain and fame, what a shame

He's hurting, never saw his killer's aim

Emotional support, I can guide ya

No need to steal, I can provide ya (Yeah)

Let me tell ya what I'm all about

Not just chains, not just a shout

Growing up in the heart of the city

Where the streets ain't pretty, they gritty

Mama worked two jobs just to get by

Daddy locked up, didn't see him fly

But I stayed focused, kept my dreams alive

In the midst of chaos, I had to thrive

No fancy cars, no designer clothes

Just me and my rhymes, that's how it goes

Let's get it, nigga

In the midst of gangsta chains

Battle raps, and street lanes

You gotta stay beside

Never picking a side

When the heat comes, don't hide

Just a boy trying to ride

You're not a monster, just a child

In these streets so wild

Nigga

Runnin' through the blocks, feeling the heat

But you're just a kid, not packing heat

They tryna make you do it, but you ain't a shooter

Betting on your life, you're not a looter

Cops on the way, like a trailer

But you're just tryna avoid failure

Temptation on every corner, every turn

But deep down, you know you gotta learn

Life ain't a game, it's a test

Gotta stay strong, be your best

Friends turn foes, enemies close

But you keep your circle tight, that's how it goes

In the midst of the chaos and the drama

You stay true to yourself, no fake persona

Nigga, let's get it

Walking through these streets, feeling the pressure

Every step I take, feels like a treasure

But the weight on my shoulders, it ain't light

Every day's a struggle, every night a fight (Yeah)

But I kept pushing, gotta make it out

No time for doubt, gotta scream and shout

They say the streets don't love nobody

But I refuse to be another body

So I grind harder, chase my dreams

In this concrete jungle, nothing's as it seems (Yeah)

In this concrete jungle, nothing's as it seems

Raised by the block, taught by the street

Every lesson learned, every defeat

But I ain't giving up, nah, not today

Got my eyes on the prize, gotta find a way

They say success is the best revenge

So I'm stacking my chips, building my hedge

No more being a pawn in their game

I'm the king now, and I'm taking aim

With every verse, every rhyme I spit

I'm leaving my mark, ain't that some shit?

Nigga

In the midst of gangsta chains

Battle raps, and street lanes

You gotta stay beside

Never picking a side

When the heat comes, don't hide

Just a boy trying to ride

You're not a monster, just a child

In these streets so wild

Nigga
