blok

[Intro Adlibs]
Yeah, we on the block, we on the block
It's grimey outside, but you could find me outside
Yeah...!

[Verse]
This for my soldiers on the block with the blockers out
My ancestors in the cotton fields, cotton-mouthed
My people caged in the prisons where they lock us down
The school system that didn't teach what could have got us out
All them hustlers that showed us other options how
To cop a pound, chop it down, spread the whole profit 'round
My street childrens with no mama or no pop around
Youngins used to hooping getting shot, they shottas now
Cops come around, stop us 'fore they knock us down
Looking for a set-out, door or not, they just knock it down
Pop - pow - pow – all around town
Got us sprawled out on the ground
Where we oughta stand proud
Still we living, we living everyday, everyday
Just tryna keep our fists raised and our pockets full of pay
But they dock us, make us pay, everyday, everyday
So more than this loose change, I'm truly tryna make a change
When I say...

[Hook]
The block don't love you back
You can hug the block but it won't love you back
Run into the cops, they'll just shove you back
Now tell me there ain't something wrong with that

The block don't love you back
We fighting over blocks we don't run, in fact
So you can hug the block but it won't love you back, no, no
Tell me there ain't something wrong with that

When the block don't love you back
You can hug the block but it won't love you back
Run into the cops, they'll just shove you back, yeah, yeah
Now tell me there ain't something wrong with that

Tell me there ain't something wrong with that

Tell me there ain't something wrong with that

The block don't love you back
You can hug the block but it won't love you back, no, no
Yeah, yeah...
Tell me there ain't something wrong with that

Tell me there ain't something wrong with that

You can hug the block but it won't love you back
