On the Block Lyrics

[Intro]
I'm a white rapper
There's so many of us now
White people like rap now
Ah, ah, yeah

[Hook]
Everyday, ghetto niggas from my block
He pushing cars that drop
When is it ever gonna stop?
Everyday, ghetto niggas from my block
He pushing cars that drop
When is it ever gonna stop?

[R.A. in the background]
Slick Rick The Ruler, where's the vocals yo? Come in here
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh-uh-uh, check out this bizarre
Ayyo! Yo!

[Verse 1]
Remember Slick Rick The Ruler, remember MC Shan used to wear Puma
Remember Masters of Ceremony, Grand Puba
Remember Daddy Kane Aids rumor
Yo, bring it back, yo
Yo, at the roller rinks, no skates on
Early '80's, girl chase on
Kurtis Blow listed the breaks on
Flavor Flav, Public Enemy clocks, boombox
EPMD made us proud that we was from the Boondocks
Before Boob or Steady B, Heavy D, Mount Vernon
Craig G, Shout rap version, Juice Crew
Rock Box, Run-D.M.C., true hip hop
Before Biggie and 2Pac got shot, there was Scott La Rock
Before we even learned to make beats, we was in the basement
Freestyling, to 45 King breakbeats
But see, rap is corporate now
It's all about endorsements
So now the rich kids love it, so fuck them poor kids now!

[Hook]
Everyday, ghetto niggas from my block
He pushing cars that drop
When is it ever gonna stop?
Everyday, ghetto niggas from my block
He pushing cars that drop
When is it ever gonna stop?

[Verse 2]
I remember when the mainstream hated rap music
When James Brown samples was the new shit
I yelled box like Cool J on some Krush Groove shit
Dapper Dan shit, Ms. Pac-Man shit
That's when Rakim ran shit
Before Sweet T was Suga, before Roddy Piper 'n Jack Supafly Snuka
Back when Biz Markie was busy picking boogers
Super Lover Cee, L-y-t-e, Chill Rob G
Graffiti vandals, Jimmy Bakker sex scandals
Videos, Ralph MacDaniels
Back when we didn't have the pay for samples
Beasties, Chuck D, Busy Bee got ate up, he battled Kool Moe Dee
Chubb Rock hits the Grammys, Hitman Howie Tee, Doug E. Fresh, Chill Will, Barry B
BDP, Eazy-E, PRT, Lakim Shabazz, Jaz, Jay-Z, Tragedy, QB

[Hook]
Everyday, ghetto niggas from my block
He pushing cars that drop
When is it ever gonna stop?
Everyday, ghetto niggas from my block
He pushing cars that drop
When is it ever gonna stop?

[Verse 3]
Markey Fresh, The Mack of Rap, now the Fat Boys are back
XCLAN, ZOOM, pro black, Mr. Bozack
Where the hoes at, I'mma go back
Before we had show DATs, no gats, no plaques
Happy Days, Fonzie and Potsie
Bomb Squad, Hank Shocklee and Keith Shocklee
DITC, Kool Keith, Ced Gee
Bizzie Boys, Will-Ski
Milk D, Positive K, First Priority Posse
8th grade, parents on vacation, house vacant playing
Spin the battle in the basement, fuck grown ups
Misbehaving, shooting pelletguns at Dunkin Donuts
Make the police go nuts
Used their nightsticks to choke us
Old School, do stay true, Rock Steady Crew, Zulu
Cash Money, Marvelous, Funkmaster Flex
Deuces Is Def, Kool G, Shante, Glamorous
Fresh Prince, Jazzy Jeff

[Hook]
Everyday, ghetto niggas from my block
He pushing cars that drop
When is it ever gonna stop?
Everyday, ghetto niggas from my block
He pushing cars that drop
When is it ever gonna stop?

[Verse 4]
Symphony and Symphony II
Main Source Live At The Barbeque
Nas and Akinyele debut
Izzy Ice, Soul Man
Def Squad, Hit Squad
2 Live Crew videos used to keep my dick hard (OINK!)
Salt 'N Pepa Shoopin', Potholes and Plug Tunin'
Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin
Shut' Em Down, Pete Rock producing
Just-Ice, LaToya
We had Marvin Hagler, fuck Oscar De La Hoya
Doing it, doing it too much
6th grade, I ate my first pussy
In the back of the school bus...

[Hook]
Everyday, ghetto niggas from my block
He pushing cars that drop
When is it ever gonna stop?
Everyday, ghetto niggas from my block
He pushing cars that drop
When is it ever gonna stop?
Everyday, ghetto niggas from my block
He pushing cars that drop
When is it ever gonna stop?
