Alpha Diaw - On My Block Lyrics




Yo
Greatness takes time I need to slow down like yo what's the rush
I was fed up of sitting and wishing I put my shoes on like enough is enough
Bro told me keep on pushing I won't be surprised one day if you buss
If you're rockin' with me then I'm rocking with you so when I blow it's not me it's us
Sometimes I sit and think to myself how did my life get so f*cked
One minute I'm on top of the world the next minute it feels like i'm back in the mud
Have you ever tried so hard but still feel like you can't get out of the rut
And just cause I ain't on badness that don't mean we don't go through stuff
See on my block it's legit or the trap
See on my block it's sport or rap
See on my block doing a 9 to 5 and going legit is still not enough
Welcome to London dungeon
Where the hustle and bustle don't stop
Get shot of you don't leave that function
Same way you can land your dream job (imagine)
The best city n town
Where 3 wings and chips is only a pound
The worlds angriest bus drivers
Bop to the shop in my tracky and sliders
Take a L we keep it stepping got no time to dwell on the past
Where parents think they know there children these times they don't even know the half (big facts)
They don't know the full story
Single mums out here like Maury
You need to reconsider your life if you're still trapping and approaching 40 (grow up)
I never kept up with no f*ckrie
All the shooters in my endz still love me
I been strong minded from young no older could ever send man country

You know like it's so mad to get caught up in everything going out here like
You just have to try and stay focused
Can't lie it's hard it's hard for all of us
But you know what i mean we just keep on pushing man

Yo
Done the talking pick yourself up dust yourself off let's get up and go
Don't need a lot of friends roun' me
I'm good on my ones I'm a lonely soul
What happens in the dark shall come to light
You better not be phoney bro
And if it ain't money or something productive
You better not phone me bro
And if you don't know there don't go there
Hollowman already told you so
She said I swear you're from north
I told her look you already know
I'm tryna cut through quick see a man from far I just give him a yo (yo!)
There's too many man over there I stay far away like boy better know
There's gems in the hood see the talent is endless
Where you can lose your life two years later nobody even remembers
I'm tryna have a yard where anyone can cut through something like Brenda's
Express myself till the death no way on earth is my music censored
They used to laugh back then soon gonna have no choice but to take me in
They used to laugh back then you should see the way I cut through now with a smooth grin
And no i don't par with them it's hard to stay focused in this life of sin
They ain't gonna make you happy the powers lies in you
It comes from within
The only approval i need is mine
Soon due to blow it's a matter of time
I can see the path Rome weren't built in a day god's showing me signs
I like to try take risk and prosper
I'm way too sick someone get a doctor
I see them taking shots tryna get a reaction like Ben Foster
But I'm not gonna bite
Real mc the way I hold this mic
Two reactions fight or flight
I dunno bout you but I'm gonna fight
I never overstay my welcome
I don't stay in one place too long
Stay focused that's what I tell them
I do my ting and i'm gone
I said i do my ting and I bounce
They way I'm gliding on these beats got man bopping there head max can vouch
The way I got the neighbours asking questions I'm always in and out of the house
The way I'm whipping it up top bins they got me confused with James Ward-Prouse
Is it me or have we lost our sense of community
It takes a village to raise a child we need more unity
I'm tryna be the best so I don't mind a little bit of scrutiny
Not taking no check don't bring that roun' here i've got immunity
