Phora - Kid on the Block Lyrics
Ayo, I used to wanna be the toughest kid on the blockTill I found out the toughest kid always gets shotI used to wanna make a mill pushin that rockTill I found out the big timers always got caughtI used to wanna be the OG tellin a taleTil I found out they only up dead or in jailI was Lost and confused searchin for somebody to beTill I realized that person I was searchin for was meLook, as of right now I'm writing rhymes in this notebookScheming on making ways to make a mil, without giving my soul up& Split it with the cats that had nothing but love to show usIn hopes that I never have to watch my nigga bag that coke upJust to make a buck to put some food in his bellyI ain't worried about the rumors or the bullshit they tell meCause me & my niggas, yeah we tryna eatWe tryna get that, never sleep & never sit backTalk is cheap so quit the chit chatIf you ain't got the flow you gotta goIf you & I suppose, you're gonna need a thousand up front for me to rock a show niggaTellin' you I'm bout my busyI'm learnin' to forgive all the dirt that everyones did meSimply cause I'm just tryna learn to love before they kill meI don't do this for myself, this for everyone that's with meI just wanna be remembered when my time is upNot as a G, not as a thug, cause homie I ain't toughJust remember me for everything I tried to tell youCause when I'm gone It'll make sense but I don't wanna fail youSo I try my best to try & stay aliveBut it's hard when the cats that wanna take your life know where your family residesMama tells me stay inside, but I fear no man but godSo I'm out every day & nightI show up in my enemy's city, tasting my faithHoping I don't lose my life so I bow my head & I prayCause if my time comes then it was meant to comeBut when everything said & doneAll I ask of you is dont forget the loveI used to wanna be the toughest kid on the blockTill I found out the toughest kid always gets shotI used to wanna make a mill pushin that rockTill I found out the big timers always got caughtI used to wanna be the OG tellin a taleTil I found out they only up dead or in jailI was Lost and confused searchin for somebody to beTill I realized that person I was searchin for was me
