Block Yo

Welcome to my block yo where niggas ain't telling
Get respected as a felon, I was told at eleven
If they run upon your brethren, then you be his protection
'Cause if not, when you come home you won't be respected
Welcome to my block yo
Welcome to my block

Welcome to my block yo up early in the morning
'Cause he heard a raid is coming packed his bags at 4 something
Mom is sitting in the kitchen, turned the lights out where you're going
Looked at her, and said I gotta go quickly , or else those pigs gonna get me
Welcome to my block

Welcome to my block where these single mothers crying
'Cause their babies out here dying in the system claim they tryin
But the truth is that they're lying this is all their vision
Give us guns, give us crack so we can populate their prisons
Damn welcome to my block yo
Welcome to my block

Welcome to my block cops put us in the cuffs
Just a citizen in a courtroom ,white man judging us
From where you ain't go to school, if you miss the morning bus
'Cause is just an education, so who really gives a fuck
Damn welcome to my block yo
Welcome to my block

Welcome to my block I'm in no rush to go home
Punch a kid up in the face ,teachers call my mothers phone
He's suspended from tomorrow, those the athletes don't condone
Like a cellphone in the middle, when you hear that I'm a roamer
Around this block that built my soul became our accordation
Was a slave to the culture, my bitter plantation
Fist fights, gun shots, homicide's are waiting
So the white man will come put us all in cages
Walk by saw a porsche lady giving a rear
Telling the sky my generation ain't standing a chance
They look clear at my direction pointed ahead
13 baging heroine, as fast as I can
To a nearway alley, what I saw there sally
Stayed in my mind forever, shit eternity happy
Homeless man I consider a fiend, crack piping
He ain't placed a bump in his steam, he started to scream
While his eyes rolled back like a zombie, feet were froze
Goosebumps started feeling my body, knees buckled
Hit the ground, the devil was calling, open his hands
Call me over in shock I responded,
Into the shadow of a life but no soul
Ambiance cold, I stood inches away and got low
Open his lips slow and paused
He said
Welcome to my block yo
