(Verse 1) Yeah, I'm from the block, where the struggle never stops Raised in the concrete jungle, where dreams get dropped Grew up surrounded by the hustle and the crime But I stayed focused, had to climb, one step at a time On the corner, where the fiends be chasing their high I witnessed pain and despair, saw tears in their eyes But I never let it break me, I stayed strong and determined Knew I had to make it out, my dreams, I had to earn 'em The block taught me lessons, survival was the key Every day was a battle, just to set my spirit free I seen friends turn foes, loyalty was rare But I kept my circle tight, only real ones in my square (Verse 2) In the heart of the block, where the struggle resides I witnessed sacrifices, mothers working double shifts, no surprise Gang wars and gunshots, sirens filling the night But I refused to become a victim, I chose to ignite A fire within, to rise above the circumstances I knew deep down, I had the power to enhance this From the block to the top, that's my ultimate goal To inspire the ones coming up, to break free from the mold So I grind day and night, chasing my dreams Through the obstacles and setbacks, I'm breaking through the seams I'm the product of the block, where the pain is real But I won't let it define me, watch me seal the deal (Bridge) No matter where I go, I'll always represent my block Carrying the stories and struggles, never letting them rot I'm a product of the streets, molded in the fire But I'm breaking through the chains, reaching higher and higher
