Back, back on the block
Back, back on the block
Back on the block
Back on the block
song
Ice-T, let me kick my credentials
A young player bred in South Central LA
Home of the body bag
You wanna dive, where are all the color pencil先生
I used to walk in stores and yell lay down
You'd flinch an inch, a.k.a. spray down
But I was lucky cause I never caught the hard time
I was lucky to skill the buzzer, don't rhyme
All my homies died and caught the pencil
Lost to diamonds, cops
Cops told that Benzo was livin' that life that we thought was it
Fast lanin', but the car flipped
I'm not gonna lie to you, cause I don't lie
I just kick thick games, some people say, why?
Cause I'm back on the block, I got my life back
So I school the fools about the fast track
I get stacked on my style, my technique
Profanity, the blake way in which I speak
But the dude knows the streets ain't no kiddie game
You don't know the dude, Quincy's his first name
He told me, Ice, keep doin' what you're doin', man
Don't give a damn if the square don't understand
You let him tell you what to say and what to write
Your whole career will be over by tomorrow night
Back on the block, so we can rock with the soul
Rhythm and blue, we love it here
Back on the block, back on the block
I'm back on the block, on the screen
I'm on the wax, I'm on the stage, I'm on the scene
I'm on the case just like an attorney
The dude took me on a magic journey
To dance in France, I roamed and roamed
On the farmlands of Nebraska, the core of Alaska
The heat of the motherland, to be with my brother
Man, I'm back on the block, I'm on the stage
On top of a snow-capped mountain, I'm scoutin'
What another man saw in the race of people
To see him give his life for the price of people
The highest wisdom, the richest kingdom
The song of songs we heard David say them
Stokey, just stokey, my mom
Stokey, stokey
And one by one, it won't end
He's the man, she's the father
Stokey, just stokey, you know
Stokey, stokey
He's the man, she's the father
He's the man, she's the father
Back up and give the brother from the left forgery
Bloom to home, it may concern or consume
As I reminisce before this, the bliss that exists
But now we brought about a twist
Cause I remember readin' of my people bleedin'
Put through slavery and killed for bravery
We should've got our freedom much sooner
You never seen a black man on the honeymooners
But now somehow we've learned to earn the growth
This show is about to end, it's about to end
This show is about to end, it's about to end
The elevation of our people built this so
Jesse Jackson, Miss America, a black one
No more livin' for just a small fraction
I was once told by the dude that knowledge is a food
To nourish, so took a clue
Just from an Asian at the Senate, Big Daddy is shocked
But can we back on the block, back on the block
So we can rock it with the soul, rhythm and blue
We got it, so we hop back on the block, back on the block
An everlasting omnipresence is my present
State of being, seeing the unpleasant
Sight of being, seeing the unpleasant
Sight of righteous souls live like peasants
The mind stunts growth and adolescence
My insight enables me to enlighten
The weakest of minds and I put them in flight
As I transcend, ace and a decent
Recreate, reincarnate and reset
The powerful spirit of our ancestors
For those that don't know how God blessed us
Because man messed up, media dressed up
Lies perpetrated as truths and it left us
Confused, but I've seen it all before
From Babylon to the third world war
I'm more than a man, I'm more like an entity
Back on the block, back on the block, back on the block
In the time my identity is due
Back, back, back, back, back, back, back on the block
Some say they can't take it no more
Tell me they're coming, it's gonna stop
But who did back on duty for sure?
That's on the block to stay
Oh, they say he ain't gonna be well
Coming back, coming back to the street
But dude, he know you'll never forget
That's on the block to stay
That's on the block to stay
