MY BLOCK (LYRICS)

Chorus

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,

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,

Verse 1

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 (patients),

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 watch me,

Chorus

-

Verse 2

Pacify our women, justify the killings
Still got shackles on me, in your mind they're ribbons,
Making money off it, magnify the figures,
Pray we see the profit, and we find forgiveness,

Healing necessary,
Not hereditary,
Cut the history but can’t divide our spirit,
All my brothers hungry, appetite of winners,

Lost a lot but they can’t have the diamonds in him,
You don’t know what prejudice look like,
all because of what you look like,
Ironic,

I never said we didn’t have good times,
I never said my brudda didn’t push white,
I never said that I was any victim,
Coz of what skin did, still glistening,
Can I get a witness in this,

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,

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

And can I take a moment to say this video is The way that mic flew into his hand at the start?! unreal mate

[xxtrollxx]

The only song I don't skip on fifa

[demetriusdavis]

So this is what 2k20 meant when they said “somebody watch Che”

[mariomarelic]

Man, glad nba 2k21 included your track in their soundtrack album, I've been listening to 80's & 90's hip hop all my life, and I can surely say this is the only modern version of rap that I actually like, with a good beat as well as having meaningful lyrics. Mad props for the song brother <3 one love

[EliazGonza]

Hardest song I’ve heard all 2020. This is your time.

[CleopatraFigure]

'BLACK DON'T MEAN ILLEGAL'!! Yes Che 🔥🔥🔥👏🏿🏆

[cohlchristison]

“You don’t know what prejudice look like, all because of what you look like” profound

[RA-sgno]

Who's here after this was put in 2k21

[adriagonzalez]

NBA2K21 and FIFA 21, well deserved, this song is amazing!

[escobar]

Getting kendrick vibes from the sonics and visuals. This shit bangs mate

[johnnybegood]

I would have never heard of you guys if it wasn't for NBA2K21
I haven't some good rap in a long time! This is BADASS.

[charlotteella]

“Feds literally broke my bredrins neck,
then lied on one of their statements,
Bro how can you call that justice”

Justice for Julian Cole 🙏🏿❤️

[ubaydah_i]

came here from the JJK ost, how sick is it that a black UK rapper is on an anime soundtrack doing vocals, beyond belief, on top of fifa and 2k 21

[XxLeoRiversxX]

Bro how the fuck has this not BLOWN UP YET!?!? This is by FAR one of the top 5 songs to be released within a years time for DAMN sure. Legit I hope if you don’t make it on the radio, that your content makes more than mainstream artists.

[blackparadise]

These UK rappers are scary! Keep promoting them!
