Off the Block

It's hard times

Struggling

Trynna get by, trynna get by, trynna get by...

It don't stop

Always runnin' from the cops

Pray at night, in the day they sell rocks

Gotta make it out, before we get popped

It's ugly trynna make it off the block

[E-40:]

Crystal my religion, I'm tryn not to go to prison

Watch out [?] it's murky, shoot with precision

My vision never missing, Winchester rifle ammunition

These double deuce thirds will go through your ligaments

We created a sequel despite our skin and our pigment

One day I hope to become legitimate

That's the thought process of a young hustler about his money

Far from a dumby smart enough to run with big company

If I was put in position the end results would be lucrative

No more life on the rough, livin life as a fugitive

Unregistered gun and marijuana smoke in my lungs

To decrease the stress

Got a vest and some olive oil that the pastor blessed

Then I take out the bottle, put it on my head and chest, to protect me from death

It's gruesome out here in this spooky ugly and murky

They dirty out here, they dusty scummy and certainly thirsty

It don't stop

Always runnin' from the cops

Pray at night, in the day they sell rocks

Gotta make it out, before we get popped

It's ugly trynna make it off the block

[E-40:]

Second verse

You ain't no better than me

My sins ain't no worse than yours, only father thy God can judge me

I heard somebody say I'm sick of they urban gear

The dreads and the saggy pants, I had it up to here

You said "why ya'll show your drawers and wear em down to here"?

I said " why ya'll show your balls and wear em way up there"?

Contradictions and criticisms we trapped in the system

There's not a lot of schools but there's a lot of prisons

My big homie going through it man just like me and you

Hopin' and wishin' for a financial breakthrough

Comin' from where I'm comin' from you gotta be street smart and not dumb

Put your hands up... don't run

Cops will shoot you with they gun

Consequences, everyone makes mistakes

The difference btween today and tomorrow, is your faith

It's gruesome out here in this spooky ugly and murky

They dirty out here, they dusty scummy and certainly thirsty

It don't stop

Always runnin' from the cops

Pray at night, in the day they sell rocks

Gotta make it out, before we get popped

It's ugly trynna make it off the block

[E-40:]

Third one

Tryna make it off the block, triangular markers and yellow tape

Bodies outlined in chalk

We be funkin' non stop

Warrin and beefin, tryna take off a top

We stressin depressin, nobody to answer our questions

The government treat us like peasants

Can't get a job nor reference

He really good people back in the day easy, had some scrill

Now he go to jail on purpose just to get a decent meal

Stop chasin his first high, he can get some get back

But he strung out, got that monkey on his back UGHHHHHHHHH

I see it all the time, What you see?

The people that help you the most be the ones you give the hardest time

Ain't that some backwards ass shit? Yeah it is

Act like you owe him somethin

And you don't owe him shit

It's gruesome out here in this spooky ugly and murky

They dirty out here, they dusty scummy and certainly thirsty

It don't stop

Always runnin from the cops

Pray at night, in the day they sell rocks

Gotta make it out, before we get popped

It's ugly tryna make it off the block
