[Intro]
We are the kids from the neighborhood
Yeah, turn the sample up
We are the kids and we're knocking on your door
Atlanta knockin', nigga, and we knockin' niggas
We gon' stalk these niggas
We gon' shock these niggas
Come back and block these niggas
We are the kids from the neighborhood
Yeah
We are the kids and we're knocking on your door
Atlanta knockin', nigga, and we knockin' niggas
We gon' stalk these niggas
We gon' shock these niggas
(Yeah, come back and block these niggas) Y'all know what this is
[Verse 1]
From the corners of the bluff, remember times was rough
We ain't have a ball to throw, shit, we was slangin' dust
We ain't count it when we stacked it, hundreds tangled up
Go in Magic, throw about a quarter, hoes was aimed at us
12'll hit a niggas spot, the neighbors blamin' us
We were beatin' down the block, didn't have a amp to bust
We defeated all our cops, they tried to chain us up
White kado stuck all in my sock, I'm havin' flamers tucked
I'm goin' twice with luck, again so I can show them
Niggas movin' to this city, in the chronic, we don't know them
I lil' bro every Joe them, I'm big bro, they lil' bro them
Niggas runnin' with the sauce and all the spill, I overflow them
[Chorus]
We are the kids from the neighborhood
We are the kids and we're knocking on your door
Atlanta knockin', nigga, and we knockin' niggas
We gon' stalk these niggas
We gon' shock these niggas
Come back and block these niggas
[Verse 2]
Live from the booth, Westside too, I did what I could do
Higher than the roof, fly with your boo, she'll get it crackin' too
Get a nigga vanished, poof, you're better off actin' cute
Uncle them were smackers too, daddy them'll act a fool
Had to learn to keep my cool, show the ends what I could do
Late as hell, paddin' in class, I was rappin' while in school
Went from slangin' in them hallways, I know this shit is hard to take
Look, rappin' in the neighborhood, connected more than cable could
I was gettin' paper for it, even took a payment towards
I was tryna break the board, I would never shave a pawn
Tesla truck wide as hell, still out here makin' noise
I don't think my soul'll sell, I'm still out here payin' for it
[Chorus]
We are the kids from the neighborhood
We are the kids and we're knocking on your door
Atlanta knockin', nigga, and we knockin' niggas
And we knockin', nigga
We gon' stalk these niggas
Come back and block these niggas
[Verse 3]
Cleveland A-V-E, Zone 3, yeah, that where it be
Steppin' in the street, shoe street, rock your ass to sleep
Pull up fifty deep, I repeat, man, we fifty deep
Sucker play with me, cookin' beef, bitch, that's all I eat
Uh, all up in Magic with it
Uh, I'm with the baddest bitches
Throwin' the cash, you dig it?
There go your master with it
Run up through Georgios
Right before the store close
Buyin' expensive clothes
Movin' with Georgia hoes
What's up in Sprinter? Yeah
That nigga been there
Southside to the Eastside
No kin there, I'm up in there
Finesse game on swoop-swoop
I'm a big dog, you a pootroo
It's upper term, time to recoup
Like mama D in that black coupe
[Chorus]
We are the kids from the neighborhood
We are the kids and we're knocking on your door
Atlanta knockin', nigga, and we knockin' niggas
And we knockin', nigga
We gon' stalk these niggas
Come back and block these niggas
