Never Stop the Show

[Intro] All my life's been a technicolor feature That I've had to watch in tears from the 13th row [Hook] From the... BLOCK! To the city, to the streets BLOCK! And all those out of reach From the... BLOCK! From the bottom to the top We built it block by BLOCK! We built it block by BLOCK! [Verse 1: Classified] Yeah, they say by 25 the best in life has come and gone I think I'm livin' proof they couldn't be more fuckin' wrong I've seen it vividly, turn misery to victory My injuries are history, I kept pushin' and truckin' on The game is war and I just bought myself some huntin' gear I'm fully loaded like I'm partyin', shotgunnin' beers I run the streets and I don't mean I run the streets I just mean I started joggin' and the dog is off the leash I've been writin' and re-writin', recordin' and re-recordin' I've been cuttin' and pastin', second guessin' what I've been makin' I've been lost in translation, tryna get back to the basics I never grew up so don't expect me to act what my age is I never changed... my beard game is lame Went from peachfuzz to grey hair in the same day Keep your chin up, and keep the marijuana grade A Livin' on the same BLOCK! Still runnin' the same race And the show goes on [Pre-Hook] And they never changed the story And they never changed the story And they never changed the story And they never stopped us here [Hook] From the... BLOCK! To the city, to the streets BLOCK! And all those out of reach From the... BLOCK! From the bottom to the top We built it block by BLOCK! We built it block by BLOCK! [Verse 2: Snack the Ripper] Yeah, it all happens for a reason, random or not Constantly remind myself not to abandon my thought Nah I just keep on movin' like the hand on the clock They wanna see me quit now, but I ain't plannin' to stop Don't know exactly what I'm doin', but this shit feels right It's like the world don't exist when I sit here and write Bein' broke is a distraction, I'm just blockin' it out If ain't about profit, what the fuck we talkin' about? Don't get me wrong, ain't in it for the vanity Tryna put some money in the hands of my family Every mistake, every lesson life's handin' me Made me who I am, this shit didn't happen randomly So I'ma keep on goin' and there ain't nobody stoppin' this Communication's critical, no matter what the topic is It's obvious.. blunt smokin' and I'm burnin' 'em slow My goal: keep murderin' shows 'til the curtains are closed, the goals [Pre-Hook] And they never changed the story And they never changed the story And they never changed the story And they never stopped us, yeah Never changed the story And they never changed the story And they never changed the story And they never stopped us, yeah [Hook] From the... BLOCK! To the city, to the streets BLOCK! And all those out of reach From the... BLOCK! From the bottom to the top We built it block by BLOCK! We built it block by BLOCK! [Verse 3: Slug from Atmosphere] I promise to God that I've been tryna finish all my thoughts But it's a big dog eat smaller dog And if the confidence drops when the compliments stop Then we prolly ought to look for alternate jobs Now, lick a shot for those watchin' the clock Or pick a lock if that's the popular stock This the opposite of Photoshop I was taught, before I step in your house, take my moccassins off Now, no option but to go solid This sheriff brought with him a posse of cops And they got some shotguns, solvin' problems Bottle poppin', molotov The world keep spinnin' until everybody fallin' off When it finally stops, I'll be down in Mardi Gras And talkin' 'bout it all right now has got me so damn shot I need to take another walk around my BLOCK! [Pre-Hook] And they never changed the story And they never changed the story And they never changed the story And they never stopped us, yeah Never changed the story And they never changed the story And they never changed the story And they never stopped us, yeah
