My Block

Rollin' 'round my block, feelin' hot

Streets are cold, see the frost

Things I know, God forbid

Probably woulda made Jesus cross

That's my blood, family tree

No excuse, freedom costs

Took the risk, made mistakes

Pray I never repeat them

Rollin' 'round my block, feelin' hot

Streets are cold, see the frost

Things I know, God forbid

Probably woulda made Jesus cross

That's my blood, family tree

No excuse, freedom costs

Take the risk, made mistakes

Pray I never repeat the loss (Never repeat the loss)

(We pray the cheque on the way)

They gon' judge what we do

Hear no, speak no evil

They don't know me (Na-na, na-na)

(We pray the cheque on the way)

Do this for my people

Black don't mean illegal

They don't know me (Na-na, na-na)

(We pray the cheque on the way)

Mind out how they treat you

Way too gold, too regal

They don't know me (Na-na, na-na)

(We pray the cheque on the way)

Frustrated

Look at how they got us in papers

Black boy, black hood, black trainers

Judging the cover of that book, no pages

Hurt with the hatred, curses, dangers

That poverty curbed his natures

He really coulda sent man doctor

Instead of just working patience

All now mumzy swervin' bailiffs

They ain't even got no evidence

And that bird they're servings plateless

Feds literally broke my bredren's neck

Then lied on one of their statements

Bro, how can you call that justice?

When blue see red, there's greyness

King of this castle, you're looking at greatness, watch me

Rollin' 'round my block, feelin' hot

Streets are cold, see the frost

Things I know, God forbid

Probably woulda made Jesus cross

That's my blood, family tree

No excuse, freedom costs

Took the risk, made mistakes

Pray I never repeat them

Rollin' 'round my block, feelin' hot

Streets are cold, see the frost

Things I know, God forbid

Probably woulda made Jesus cross

That's my blood, family tree

No excuse, freedom costs

Take the risk, made mistakes

Pray I never repeat the loss (Never repeat the loss)

(We pray the cheque on the way)

They gon' judge what we do

Hear no, speak no evil

They don't know me

(We pray the cheque on the way)

Do this for my people

Black don't mean illegal

They don't know me (Na-na, na-na)

(We pray the cheque on the way)

Mind out how they treat you

Way too gold, too regal

They don't know me

(We pray the cheque on the way)

(Gimme that dough, gimme that money right now)

Pacify our women, justify the killings

Still got shackles on me

In your mind, they're ribbons

Making money off it

Magnify the figures

Pray we see the profit

And we find forgiveness

Healing necessary, not hereditary

Cut the history but can't divide our spirit

All my brothers hungry, appetite of winners

Lost a lot but they can't have the diamonds in him

You don't know what prejudice look like!

All because of what you look like

Ironic

I never said we didn't have good times

I never said my brudda didn't push white

I never said that I was any victim

'Cause of what skin did, still glistening

Can I get a witness in this?

Rollin' 'round my block, feelin' hot

Streets are cold, see the frost

Things I know, God forbid

Probably woulda made Jesus cross

That's my blood, family tree

No excuse, freedom costs

Took the risk, made mistakes

Pray I never repeat them

Rollin' 'round my block, feelin' hot

Streets are cold, see the frost

Things I know, God forbid

Probably woulda made Jesus cross

That's my blood, family tree

No excuse, freedom costs

Take the risk, made mistakes
