My Block

Rolling 'round my block, feeling hot Streets are cold, see the frost Things I know, God forbid Probably would've made Jesus cross That's my blood, family tree No excuse, freedom costs Took the risk, made mistakes Pray I never repeat them Rolling 'round my block, feeling hot Streets are cold, see the frost Things I know, God forbid Probably would've made Jesus cross That's my blood, family tree No excuse, freedom costs Took the risk, made mistakes Pray I never repeat the loss (never repeat the loss) We pray the cheque on the way They can't judge what we do Hear no, speak no evil They don't know me We pray the cheque on the way Do this for my people Black don't mean illegal They don't know me We pray the cheque on the way Mind out how they treat you Way too gold, too regal They don't know me We pray the cheque on the way Frustrated Look at how they got us in papers Black boy, black hood, black trainers Judging the cover of that book no pages Hurt with hatred, curses, dangers That probably curbed his natures He really could've sent man doctor Instead of just working patience All now mumzy swerving bailiffs They ain't even got no evidence And that bird they're servings plateless Feds literally broke my bredrins neck Then lied on one of their statements Bro, how can you call that justice? When the blues see red there's greyness King of this castle you're looking at greatness.
