Born On The Block Big K.R.I.T. (Ft. Big Sid & Killer Mike)

[Hook:] x2
See, I was born on the block
And I was raised on the block
And they wonder why I talk this way
They wonder why I talk this way

[Verse 1: Big Sid]
I was born on the block, raised on the block
Never slang (?) but I knew some things on the block
My people under streetlights trying to provide
For they fam, so they scram from the laws to survive
Up and on it all night, same story different day
Kids need food and clothes so we going all the way
Momma got cancer and they only giving her till May
Collections team callin', cause the hospital pay is late
Baby momma trippin', she tired of the strugglin'
He feel the same way, cause he tired of the hustlin'
World is too cold, so we screamin' fuck the government!
President and all, Democrats and Republicans
Sick of the smugglin', takin' daily chances
Prayin' with his fam to turn this section to a mansion
Playin' with the flames, don't get burned, so he dances
Hopin' to make it out, takin' penitentiary chances
