Run the Block Songtext
von Mesus

My pops died when I was a kid, so it didn′t take long for me to learn that it's a cold world
I remember my uncle tellin′ me, though, "You might not be able to change the world, but you can change your block", bet

I was born and raised, in a cold world
Mama prayin', tryin' to save the whole world
Might not change the world, but I′ll change what I got
Might not run the world, but I′ma run the block (aye!)

Run the block, baby, I'ma run the block (woo!)
Might not run the world, but I′ma run the block (aye!)
Run the block, baby, I'ma run the block (woo!)
Might not run the world, but I′ma run the block (aye!)

Run it back, run it back
Give the boy twenty, bet I bring a hundred back
Oh, we talkin' money? Want a cut of that
I can′t bring my gun, I don't come to that
It's so fuckin′ wack that it′s come to that

But it's a cold world, so when the block′s hot
Man, these snakes want every crumb of that
And when you run the block, they want you under that
I don't mumble rap, I just come with facts, put a beat on it, it′s a fuckin' rap


Yeah, I′m fuckin' back to my old ways, takin' rap back to them old days
Yo′ best flow is my retro, so my price high, like old J′s
My last song was a homicide, got away with murder, like OJ

It's winter time, come dinner time, for the kin that died, we break bread
Livin′ twice as hard, like they life is ours, then prayin' that we ain′t next
Fuck the internet, boy, I been a vet, bitch, go somewhere with yo' little threats
This is South go cold as South Pole, watch ya′ mouth, ho, if you ain't livin' it
Ain′t gangsta, but don′t push me, 'cause please believe that I push back
And when I do, I′m givin' you war, like President Bush, back
Yeah, cold-blooded, I′m built for this, flow one hundred, can't filter this
Really, ain′t nobody fuckin' real as this, until they bodied, buddy, I'ma kill this shit, like

I live my life like every day, the last one that I got
Quit waitin′ ′round, and went and got it, bitch, so what's up, now?
You come and try to take it, you gon′ find out what I'm ′bout
Since 'bout it ′bout it, I been holdin' this shit down, for my hometown, like ooh!

I was born and raised, in a cold world
Mama prayin', tryin′ to save the whole world
Might not change the world, but I′ll change what I got
Might not run the world, but I'ma run the block (aye!)


Run the block, baby, I′ma run the block (woo!)
Might not run the world, but I'ma run the block (aye!)
Run the block, baby, I′ma run the block (woo!)
Might not run the world, but I'ma run the block (aye!)
