StefanV - The block don't lie

Voice: AI Generated Lyrics: StefanV Instrumental: StefanV/AI [Verse 1] Mama used to tell me, “Watch the ones around you” Same ones that crown you be the same ones that drown you I was young on the stairs with my name in the wind Old heads playing cards, young boys chasing sin Everybody had a dream, everybody had a hustle Everybody had a mouth, not everybody had muscle Some talked loud when the sun was out But disappeared fast when the rain came down I learned quick, love comes with a price Free advice ain’t free when it cost your life One friend had books, one friend had schemes One wanted peace, one sold bad dreams And me? I was stuck in the middle of it Half good heart, half love for the trouble of it Trying to find my way while the years went by But one thing’s for sure, man, the block don’t lie [Chorus] The block don’t lie, the block gon’ know Who stood ten toes, who switched for the dough Faces change, days change, time still flies But when life gets real, the block don’t lie The block don’t lie, the block gon’ know Who stood ten toes, who switched for the dough Faces change, days change, time still flies But when life gets real, the block don’t lie [Verse 2] You run with fools, you gon’ move like fools Skip school, break rules, think pain look cool Run with snakes, you gon’ learn that hiss Run with rats, you might fold when the pressure hits That’s how it goes when the crew too tight Wrong crowd teach wrong, then you call it life First it’s one little lie, then a bigger one next Then your name in the street got dirt on the rep If they moving bad, you adjust to the pace Start wearing their habits like it’s part of your face Laugh at dumb things, then you do dumb things Till the same dumb things make the phone not ring And everybody loyal when the bottle get passed Everybody brothers when the money come fast But let the pockets go light, let the pressure get high You gon’ see real clear why the block don’t lie [Chorus] The block don’t lie, the block gon’ know Who stood ten toes, who switched for the dough Faces change, days change, time still flies But when life gets real, the block don’t lie The block don’t lie, the block gon’ know Who stood ten toes, who switched for the dough Faces change, days change, time still flies But when life gets real, the block don’t lie [Bridge / Breakdown] Who raised you? Who made you? Who stayed down? Who played you? Who warned you? Who changed too? Who had your back? Who blamed you? Same block, same nights Same corners, same fights Same story, same sky But the block don’t lie [Verse 3] Now I move different, keep my people selected Love from a distance if the vibe feel infected I seen good kids turn cold from the crowd Quiet ones turn wild just to make folks proud Seen a real one lose heart for a fake little name Seen a fake one sell friends for a small little gain Seen money make brothers start looking like strangers Seen silence tell truth when the talking got dangerous So I keep mine close if I know they solid No new love if the roots look rotten I don’t need ten, I need two that ride Two that won’t switch when the road get live For all my day ones still walking with pride For the ones we lost, I still say your name high Time move on, but the streets keep files And the truth comes back with a cold little smile [Final Chorus] The block don’t lie, the block gon’ know Who stood ten toes, who switched for the dough Faces change, days change, time still flies But when life gets real, the block don’t lie The block don’t lie, the block gon’ know Who stood ten toes, who switched for the dough Faces change, days change, time still flies But when life gets real, the block don’t lie Playlists: Slowburn Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAcAwyHi7-c&list=PLYX-PfrkNFB72EIGXHATQuPUghC5ATVqD Rap Songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLf3QYkcDE4&list=PLYX-PfrkNFB5Inb364DjZ8NWkWQlSv9ya
