[Verse 1]
I'm talkin bout' my block ya'll
Early in the morning
I wake up at the crack of morning yawning
It's on and popping in the place where I live
The sun is shining like it always is
The ladies is out
They wearing close to nothing
And they make a nigga want to cut something
But I'mma just hop up in my low low, bump some bass
Hit the switch on the corner so the ass can scrape
In Los Angeles there's women all over the place
Plus the neighborhood block party is starting at 8
I got to get to the mall and pick up the new J's
Call up Shamiqa I need some new braids
Friday afternoon I just got paid
And I want to spend the rest of the day...
[Refrain]
On my block
My neighborhood is the spot
On my block
My neighborhood is stayin hot
Talkin' bout the block ya'll
My neighborhood
That's my neighborhood
On my block
We gave you Eazy
Talkin' bout the block ya'll
My neighborhood
Ain't nothing like it
On my block
My neighborhood
That's my neighborhood
We all that we got
Compton, California
The place where niggas with attitudes can come up
A young buck, runnin with the 7th graders
A little badass nigga playing Space Invaders
I had a girlfriend
We played hide and go get it until Mama said to come in
And oh Lord, when I went in
Fried chicken, and collard greens, and cornbread
Say what you say you say
Gimme that old Mary J
So I can serenade the streets of LA
From the West Coast to Chi Town
New York City and back down
The block is where they got my back now
[Refrain]
On my block
My neighborhood is the spot
On my block
My neighborhood is stayin hot
Talkin' bout the block ya'll
My neighborhood
That's my neighborhood
On my block
We gave you Eazy
Talkin' bout the block ya'll
My neighborhood
Ain't nothing like it
On my block
My neighborhood
That's my neighborhood
We all that we got
[Bridge]
Talkin' bout the block ya'll
Talkin' bout the block ya'll
Talkin' bout the block ya'll
Talkin' bout my block ya'll
Talkin' bout the block ya'll
It's the spot ya'll read about
Hollywood where my dawgs let it all hang out
Talkin bout the block ya'll
[Verse 2]
For my niggas on the corner
Out there doin' what they do
All the ladies in my neighborhood
I sing this one for you
It ain't easy but I tell you
We can make it if we try
But until that day comes
You can find me right here on this block
[Refrain]
On my block
My neighborhood is the spot
On my block
My neighborhood is stayin hot
Talkin' bout the block ya'll
My neighborhood
That's my neighborhood
On my block
We gave you Eazy
Talkin' bout the block ya'll
My neighborhood
Ain't nothing like it
On my block
My neighborhood
That's my neighborhood
We all that we got
[Outro]
Talkin' bout the block ya'll
Talkin' bout the block ya'll
Talkin' bout the block ya'll
Talkin' bout my block ya'll
Talkin' bout the block ya'll
My block, my block, my block
Talkin' bout the block ya'll
My block, my block, my block
