Never Stop The Show

(앨범: Greatful - 2016)

All my life's been a technicolor feature
That I've had to watch in tears from the 13th row

[Chorus:]
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!

Yeah, they say by 25 the best in life has come and gone
I think I'm living proof they couldn't be more fucking wrong
I've seen it vividly, turn misery to victory
My injuries are history, I kept pushing and trucking on
The game is war and I just bought myself some hunting gear
I'm fully loaded like I'm partying, shotgunning beers
I run the streets and I don't mean I run the streets
I just mean I started jogging and the dog is off the leash
I've been writing and re-writing, recording and re-recording
I've been cutting and pasting, second guessing what I've been making
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
Living on the same block! Still running the same race
And the show goes on

And they never changed the story
And they never changed the story
And they never changed the story
And they never stopped us here

[Chorus:]
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!

Yeah, it all happens for a reason, random or not
Constantly remind myself not to abandon my thought
Nah I just keep on moving like the hand on the clock
They wanna see me quit now, but I ain't planning to stop
Don't know exactly what I'm doing, but this shit feels right
It's like the world don't exist when I sit here and write
Being broke is a distraction, I'm just blocking it out
If ain't about profit, what the fuck we talking 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 handing me
Made me who I am, this shit didn't happen randomly
So I'ma keep on going and there ain't nobody stopping this
Communication's critical, no matter what the topic is
It's obvious.. blunt smoking and I'm burning 'em slow
My goal: keep murdering shows 'til the curtains are closed, the goals

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

[Chorus:]
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!

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 watching 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, solving problems
Bottle popping, molotov
The world keep spinning until everybody falling off
When it finally stops, I'll be down in Mardi Gras
And talking 'bout it all right now has got me so damn shot
I need to take another walk around my block!

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
