On the block never stoppin' we rockin' it On the block always poppin' we lockin' it On the block streets be watchin' we clockin' it On the block never floppin' we top of it Cityscape skyscrapers lookin' jagged Corner store homie baggin' up the magic Graffiti murals tellin' legends vivid graphic Ghosts of past but the future got us active On the block never stoppin' we rockin' it On the block always poppin' we lockin' it On the block streets be watchin' we clockin' it On the block never floppin' we top of it Chain links swingin' heavy round the throat Gutter dreams floatin' heavy like a boat Grit and grind every line we wrote Scripts of life punctuated by the tote On the block never stoppin' we rockin' it On the block always poppin' we lockin' it On the block streets be watchin' we clockin' it On the block never floppin' we top of it Tenements echo stories like a novel Cash rules gotta hustle for survival Street lights flicker hope and some revival Concrete jungle caught in street tribal On the block never stoppin' we rockin' it On the block always poppin' we lockin' it On the block streets be watchin' we clockin' it On the block never floppin' we top of it
