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
