    But if you lookin' for me I'll be on the block
    With my thang cocked possibly sittin' on a drop now
    Because I'm a rider (ayy, yeah)
    Oh, yes, a soul survivor (yeah)
    'Cause everybody know the game don't stop
    Tryna make it to the top 'fore your ass get popped now
    If you a rider (yeah)
    Oh, yes, a soul survivor (yeah, let's get it)

    Tonight I can't sleep, we livin' in Hell (yeah)

    Same block, same nigga, same part, same green (yeah, yeah, yeah)
    I guess we got the same dreams (ayy)
    Or is it the same nightmares (nightmares)
    We let the doves do it for us, we don't cry tears (that's right)
    Real niggas don't budge
    When mail man got his time he shot birds at the judge (yeah)
    I'm knee deep in the game
    So when it's time to read up, I'm knee deep in the 'caine (damn)
    Real talk, look, I'm tellin' you, man (tellin' you, man)
    If you get jammed up don't mention my name (nah)
    Forgive me Lord, I know I ain't livin' right
    Gotta feed the block, niggas starvin', they got appetites (ayy)
    And this is everyday, it never gets old (old)
    Thought I was a juvenile stuck to the G-Code (yeah)
    This ain't a rap song, nigga this is my life (this is my life)
    And if the hood was a battlefield then I earn stripes (yeah)

    Gotta watch your every move 'cause them eyes be on you (eyes be on you)
    Gotta drive real cool when them pies be on you (pies be on you)
    Just 'cause we stack paper and we ball outrageous (ball outrageous)
    Them alphabet boys gotta us under surveillance (ayy)
    Like animals, they lock us in cages
    The same nigga that's a star when you put 'em on stages
    I ain't cheat, played the hand I was dealt
    Tried to tax the grand pearl when I got it myself (let's get it)
    No nuts, no glory (no glory)
    My biography, you damn right, the true story (yeah)
    Set the city on fire, and I didn't even try (try)
    Run these streets all day, I can sleep when I die (ayy)

    'Cause if you lookin' for me you you can find me
    On the block disobeyin' the law
    A real G, thoroughbred from the streets
    Pants saggin' with my gun in my drawers
    Just keep on movin' now
    Just keep on movin' now
    Just keep on movin' now
    Just keep on movin' now, ayy

    But if you lookin' for me I'll be on the block
