This is my livelihood that you fucking withThis is it right here baby
No more hating in the worldYou know, it's gonna be what its gonna beRuff RydasWelcome to D Block, the city of broke down dreams
With things ain't always peachy keen as they seem
City of dope dealers, killers, pimps, pushers,
Pin handlers Hustlers and doped out fiends
The sun don't shine here, in this part of town
But we all got a town that's similar to this too
'Cause every cities got a ghetto and every ghetto got a hood
Take a good look around you 'cause there's a D Block near youPlace where ain't no body that proud, it's a fucking black cloud
That got people under the impression they can act wild
Word get around though, see if you can pull a trigger on the pound yo
Five minutes flat the whole town know
Lot of assuming a niggas salary
More lies than truth definitely more rumors than reality
Only way you beating a body is a technicality
Other than that catch em and Clinton on a gallery
The determination and dedication of discipline
Listening and catching the jewels you was missing
And they still doing coward shit
You know the haters gonna always be heavy but the love overpowers it
Something in the air but the older they get,
They kill you quicker over a girl than over a brick,
We don't play with the lizards, we make phrases up and say 'em exquisite,
Anytime you can pay us a visitWelcome to D Block, the city of broke down dreams
With things ain't always peachy keen as they seem
City of dope dealers, killers, pimps, pushers,
Pin handlers Hustlers and doped out fiends
The sun don't shine here, in this part of town
But we all got a town that's similar to this too
'Cause every cities got a ghetto and every ghetto got a hood
Take a good look around you 'cause there's a D Block near youWelcome to D Block, the might mighty D Block
The place in New York City where Diddy won't even walk
Its D Block, the part of Yonkers where I wouldn't be caught
Without two pistols on me that'll be cocked in each pocket
D Block don't even stop to talk, you just keep walking,
Stick up kids every block who walks with that free op-
Portunity, as soon as you leave out that jewelry shop
And you won't even notice your mind will be so preo-
Occupied on that new watch you just copped
You won't even see that ride pull up along side you
You'll be shot fore you even realize you were spied over three blocks
D Block the place where G's get knocked, locked up
Get out come home for a week and get re-knocked
You don't even see cops, hip hop police don't even stop,
On D Block, where everybody wants to be Pac
And you can get popped over the new G-Unit ReeboksWelcome to D Block, the city of broke down dreams
With things ain't always peachy keen as they seem
City of dope dealers, killers, pimps, pushers,
Pin handlers Hustlers and doped out fiends
The sun don't shine here, in this part of town
But we all got a town that's similar to this too
'Cause every cities got a ghetto and every ghetto got a hood
Take a good look around you 'cause there's a D Block near youIf you bust and your gun got niggas on the run
And you rep where you from nigga you D Block
And you tryna come up and your pockets is light as a cup
They don't give a fuck, you D Block
Hey yo bang bang niggas, let's get it on
always been a monster, but its worst now that my son been born
And every nigga where I be, I put in work for free,
It's D Block motherfucker, here grab this PWelcome to D Block, a place where lil niggas is killers,
And the mother's raisin a son to turn into guerrillas,
And the hallways is pissy as hell, all we do is get bigger
More ignorant, you send us to jail, my niggas shoot anything that'll move
Sell drugs, from the rise to the sun to the fall of the moon,
I'd die where I stand With my man if I can when the shells come,
This is D Block y'all welcomeWelcome to D Block, the city of broke down dreams
With things ain't always peachy keen as they seem
City of dope dealers, killers, pimps, pushers,
Pin handlers Hustlers and doped out fiends
The sun don't shine here, in this part of town
But we all got a town that's similar to this too
'Cause every cities got a ghetto and every ghetto got a hood
Take a good look around you 'cause there's a D Block near youRuff Riders!
