Block Got Bars (версия 2)

Verse

Block was quiet till the iron started ringing

Every second on a clock is money spinning

I used to pray for something more than this

Now I'm knocking doors with my own wrist

Chain ain't flashy but it's real and it's mine

Landlord called three times, said pay or decline

Paid in sweat before sunrise broke through

Every block got its own rhythm, this one moves like we do

Pre-Chorus

We ain't starting from no trust fund seed

This is the grind they don't put on your Instagram feed

Every window I pass got a story untold

I'm the first one to tell it, this block's getting old

Chorus

Block got bars now, ain't just concrete and steel

We building something out of every deal

Hands up high when the day turns to gold

Block got bars, and we not letting go

Verse

Streetlight flicker but I see the whole plan

Every handshake's a contract in my hand

Corner store owner, he was first to believe

Said you built it right before you leave

I moved the boxes like they owed me rent

Paid the water bill so kids could invent

Neighbor's kid was struggling with his math

Saw him crying outside the liquor shop and that's that

Grabbed my wallet, didn't ask for proof

Told him learning's free when a brother do

Now he's carrying crates like it's nobody's job

I'm the reason why this whole street don't stop

Pre-Chorus

We ain't starting from no trust fund seed

This is the grind they don't put on your Instagram feed

Every window I pass got a story untold

I'm the first one to tell it, this block's getting old

Chorus

Block got bars now, ain't just concrete and steel

We building something out of every deal

Hands up high when the day turns to gold

Block got bars, and we not letting go

Bridge

Every no turned into a door I kicked open

Every doubter's echo in this block is gotten rid of

I don't need a trophy or a plaque outside

Just know my name when the summer dies

Chorus

Block got bars now, ain't just concrete and steel

We building something out of every deal

Hands up high when the day turns to gold

Block got bars, and we not letting go
