Cue pop the beat with the heat of the motherland
Back on the block
Back on the block
Ice T, let me kick my credentials
Young players wearing South Central
L.A., home of the body bag
When I died wearing the wrong color red
I used to walk in stores and yell lay down
Good pinch of inch, 8K spray down
But I left because I never fought the hard time
I left with the skill, it wasn't over mine
All my homies died and caught the penzo
Locked the diamonds, I was told to be so good
That life that we thought was it
Fast landing, but the car flipped
I'm not gonna lie to you cause I don't lie
I just kick big games, some people say why
Cause I'm back in the block, I got my life back
So I school the fools, I'm the fast track
I get static from the sound of my second knee
Vanity, the blade way away to speak
But we do know the streets ain't no kiddie game
You don't know the dude, Quincy's first name
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man
You want me ice, keep doing what you're doing, man
Don't get a damn if the square don't understand
You let them tell you what to say and what to write
Your whole career will be over by tomorrow night
Back to your heart, do your hearts with the street
On my record, man, come here, don't send ice to me
Got me back, what can I say?
Make it go with ice to your microjet
Back on the block
Back on the block
Back on the block
Back on the block
I'm back on the block, on the street
I'm on the wax, I'm on the stage, I'm on the scene
I'm on the case just like an attorney
The dude to be on a magic journey
The dance of France, I don't enroll more
The farm man's in Nebraska, the coke of Alaska
The heat of the motherland, the view of my brother man
On top of a snow-capped mountain, a scout
But what another man saw in a race of people
The sea of dinner's life, what the price of people
The highest quiz, the highest prize, the highest prize
The richest kingdom, the song, the song we heard David sing
He showed me me when I was young and hung out
He showed me making love, he showed me strung out
He showed me popping lines, standing on the rock
But tears came to my eyes when he showed me my block
Back on the block
Back on the block
Back on the block
Back on the block
Back on the block
Back on the block
Back on the block
Back on the block
Back on the block
Back up and give the brother room to let poetry bloom to home
It may concern or consume
It's our reminisce before this bliss that exists
But now we brought about the twist
Cause I remember reading of my people bleeding
Put through slavery and killed for bravery
We should have got our freedom much sooner
You never seen a black man on the honeymooners
But now somehow we've learned to earn to show the show
The elevation of our people built this so
Jeffy Jackson is America, a black one
The more liver for justice, more fraction
I was once told by the students that I'm not a black man



Their knowledge is a fool, they're nervous, so took the clue
This woman ain't that dissident, big dad, he's shocked
Look you back on the block, back on the block
Back on the block
Back on the block, back on the block
Back on the block, back on the block
Back, back on the block
An everlasting omnipresence is my presence
State of being seen, the unpleasant
Sight of right soul, live like peasants
The mind stops growth in adolescence
Mind sight enables me to enlighten
The weakest of minds are not put in flight
As I transcend the ace and the decent
Recreate, reincarnate and reset
The powerful spirit of our ancestors
For those that don't know how God blessed us
Because man messed up, the media dressed up
Lies portrayed the truth and it left us confused
But I see it all before
From Babylon to the third world war
I'm a man of truth
I'm more than a man
I'm more like an entity
Back on the block
In the time of my identity
Broke is the story, you know
You come on shows that they care enough
Some say they can't take it no more
But who is that gonna do it for sure?
They say he ain't gonna be real
But do you know I'll never forget
Broke is just talking my ma
And when my word isィt's all I'm gonna say
Awwa Fange of Nani
Wassay sowet own
