The block lyrics

(Drea d’Nur)

Walking the block, yeah

I can see clearly

Oh Lord, oh Lord

Another body dropped

Somebody just got shot

Oh Lord, oh Lord

Tell me, can you hear me? I need to know!

Can you hear me?

Oh Lord, oh Lord

(Akua Naru)

Another block caught

Cool cat cops

Gunshots, another body dropped

Crippled waking at the bus stop

Can't let you hit the mailbox

How should you sweat socks?

He should braid their heads on the porch to get that extra guap

'Cause ?eviction? facing rock bottom

Pray she bounds back on top

American dream, a nightmare, please

Make it stop, neighbors watching, hell

Modern day dress cost slinging rocks

Black royal white ting top baggy jeans

Dreadlocks streaming at that drop top

Non-stop Chinese spot

And let me get the black in my ????

Navigate liquor stores, projects lords and bacon lots

We’d be the have-nots

When we have we become what we’ve got

Another car ride by

Sister, I’m not that new shit pedestrian shop

Hip hop corner stay at track in the flaw

The pain that back in the ????

Single mothers hussel to push the time clock

Trauma, cash crob

Somebody wanted a dime drops

??? masks and kind hard

As time talks

Fathers are holograms

Sons waiting for the day that they snuff Uncle Sam

Wipe not, no sympathy for that man

He get what he deserve, damn

I said he get what he deserve, yo

He get what he deserve, yo

They keep telling me

(Drea d’Nur)

Walking the block, yeah

I can see clearly

Through inside what’s in screams, oh Lord

Can you hear me? Oh

(Akua Naru)

Another woman raped, yo, battered

Body found in the alley

Contents of her purse scattered, left over, re-shattered

Clothes tattered, lipstick smeared, broken glass

No news reports on the matter, oh

Nobody gathered, nothing change, ask around ‘bout her name

Some said to me 'cause some claim Loraine to tag on the foot-said chain

I wonder who she was

Did she give and receive love?

Did she fight back?

Or just gave up?

She laid dead.

Lets cold, he had go

Praying in the child’s poles

Bruised nose

Seemed as stain pandy-hose

Shot day on the radio

Shover singing through the window

I wonder if pain have the tempo

How bad!

It is slow!

Streets survive, never live, then we die

Dreamed of full glass, ceiling high

Poured on the wrong side

Is there a right side classified

Now labour's souls for nickel and dime

And who decides?

Our lives by a son in order to dive the line

They seemed to ????

Pushes us outside the city line

Sirens scream in the evening

Profiled for being not white

And, we’ve been walking the streets

Poor cops, they're thinin', probable reason

No Donuts shops are teasing, roll up!

Worn a couple cast ???? speaking

Mexicans, what they’re screaming?

Puerto Ricans, they thinking they’re all the same.

Fuck’em!

Blow out their brains!

Killing season!

It’s war hour!

Wish they could take us all ??

Let the dogs out

Nigger should be hanging from trees!

Auction off now!

Roll them up!

Bless’em ‘till they’re all down

Fire shot to four-four snap!

They never see the court house, yo

They never see the court house, yo

They never see the court house, oh

They never see the court house, oh oh

They never see it.

(Drea d’Nur)

Walking the block, yeah

I can see clearly

Through inside what’s in screams, oh Lord

Can you hear me? Oh

Can you hear the block, yeah?

I can see clearly

Through inside what’s in screams, oh Lord

Can you, can you, can you really? Tell me!

(Akua Naru)

Another body dropped today on the block.

Somebody just got shot today on the bock.

Look, yo, watched it today on the block.

Today on the block.

Today on the block.

Another body dropped.

Somebody just got shot today on the block.

Look, yo, watched it today on the block.

Today on the block.

Today, oh oh

Another body dropped.

Somebody just got shot.

Look, yo, watched it today.

Another body dropped.

Somebody just got shot.

Look, yo, watched it today on the block.

Today on the block.

Today on the block.
