On My Block

I been slippin for a minute
Had to step back catch my baring get back up girl why u trippin
U so ghetto you so hood you just trifling ain't no good
And she just stay right up the block on 22nd In the hood
I remember hearing gunshots on my block (on my block)
Plenty hustlers posted up on every block (Every Block)
Gotta fight to stay alive, praying I survive
In them trenches that we call our hood it's a genocide

I been lost and I been blind
I still can't believe my eyes
Tell me that the streets don't lie
Why are all those babies dyin
They don't get a chance a life
These hittas ain't thinking twice
Shot before they blink an eye
Never ask the questions why

This for the ages
Ain't no debatin my people the greatest
God got the power, I got that faith and that glow
And I'm blessed by the best You can say it
Satan he come to destroy
That hand u was dealt u must learn how to play it
I done Been thru it all
If they wanna send shots at me tell em bring it
Lil kids in the hood feeling like they won't make it
Lil bit of guidance u'll put em in their places
Gotta stay strong gotta have patience
Cuz things don't happen over night where I'm from
Gotta keep fighting gotta keep racing
Never give up, find motivation
I could lose my house and my car
But As long as I got God with me that's something they ain't taking
I am the one I am that woman
That came from nothing Straight outta poverty
I got a voice And I speak for the people Yeah
I am a leader Yeah I am the prodigy
I am a Queen salute all my Queens and all my Kings
That's what it gotta be
Imma go hard
Long as it's breath in my body cuz that's what's inside of me

God is my witness I handle my business I'm all about business
I'm active You not you just all in my business
I really done did it I really done lived it
Stop killing our youth Stop raping our women
My homie just called me my phone out of minutes
Everyday struggles but still ain't no quitting
Without the vision you can't see the mission
Life all about making decisions
Tomorrow ain't promised get up and start living
I got the ball im trying to score on them all
I just can't pick up pivot
I paint the picture come pay me a visit
I show off my art my entire exhibit
You know my people they wit it
Listen we all trynna get it
We will not stop to we winning
I will not fold not at all I'm committed
I done been up
I done been down without nothing
Down to my last couple bucks
But I didn't give up
You can't complain
Don't never give up no don't never give up
Let's come together let's get it back up
I'm kinda like Giannis I keep it a buck
