August Alsina - On the Block lyrics

[Hook: August Alsina] First thing when I wake up, tryna get this cake up Thinking 'bout my next move, until I get my weight up Started in the gutter, tryna get to something So don't wonder what I got cause I ain't never had a lot So that's why I be on the block, you know that I be tryna be Cause I be on the block, tryna get this work in, I'm grinding Cause I be on the block, drilling at rush hour, grind time And I be on the block, you know I be on the block [Verse 1: Dirty Smurf] I'm stacking up these bands but these b**hes keep hating Know we had to cut some homies loose cause I found out they was faking on me They was talking to the police, now they got investigations on me Tried take all that I own, they really tryna break the homie Said they don't understand my pain, my struggle, what I been through So I work the block and I hustle hard every night just to get looped They can't comprehend my paper chase, I'm trying get my paper straight They pray to God that I catch a case, but I'mma keep on grinding to test your fate Been through a lot of drama, my daddy just died, gotta take care of mama Bank roll full of commas, pressure on my shoulders got me feeling like Obama Number crack in the hood with a pack with a good real trap, better get that understood And try to rob me, I wish you would, that 22 try try like wood [Hook: August Alsina] First thing when I wake up, tryna get this cake up Thinking 'bout my next move, until I get my weight up Started in the gutter, tryna get to something So don't wonder what I got cause I ain't never had a lot So that's why I be on the block, you know that I be tryna be Cause I be on the block, tryna get this work in, I'm grinding Cause I be on the block, drilling at rush hour, grind time And I be on the block, you know I be on the block [Verse 2: Dirty Smurf] That money be on my mind, first thing when I wake up I'm taking chances in these streets, tryna get this cake up And I'mma keep on grinding hard, until I get my weight up Can't even focus on the haters, I'm too busy getting paper What you know about struggling, broke as hell and your bills due? Think about robbing the plug but if they find out, they k** you Ay, these n***as don't know, hustling hard, got to get to the dough Yeah I'm moving that sh**, x'ing these hoes like tic-tac-toe I'm in these streets and I'm grinding hard, yeah I'm on the block every single day I'm the kitchen whipping crack cause in my hood that's the only way Huh, to make it out, mentally in prison, I'm breaking out Round here I got crazy thoughts, so I can understand what they hating 'bout [Hook: August Alsina] First thing when I wake up, tryna get this cake up Thinking 'bout my next move, until I get my weight up Started in the gutter, tryna get to something So don't wonder what I got cause I ain't never had a lot So that's why I be on the block, you know that I be tryna be Cause I be on the block, tryna get this work in, I'm grinding Cause I be on the block, drilling at rush hour, grind time And I be on the block, you know I be on the block
