[spoken:] "... And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone..." [Intro] Ayy, listen up y'all (yeah) Real talk, finna break it down Different block, same pain Let that sink in, know what I'm sayin'? [Chorus] Different block, same pain (what?) Different talk, same game (yeah) We all tryna make it out (make it) Rain fallin', same drain (facts) Different block, same pain (talk to em) Different talk, same game (uh-huh) When we gonna figure out (when?) We all in the same lane (real talk) [Verse 1] Started out beefin' with them boys cross the way Till I peeped how they struggle every single day Mama workin' two jobs, pops ain't around Same story different street, same up and down Got beef? For what? We both tryna eat Both duckin' ops, both hustlin' these streets Y'all my brothers now, we share the same fight Ain't no difference 'tween wrong and right [Chorus] Different block, same pain (what?) Different talk, same game (yeah) We all tryna make it out (make it) Rain fallin', same drain (facts) Different block, same pain (talk to em) Different talk, same game (uh-huh) When we gonna figure out (when?) We all in the same lane (real talk) [Verse 2] They want us divided, keep us weak (nah) But we stronger together when we speak (facts) Your grandmama cookin' smell just like mine Same prayers at night, same grind Used to throw hands now we throw peace signs Used to draw lines, now we combine Your block, my block, it's all our hood Finally understood what's good [Bridge] Ayy, we been fightin' too long (too long) Time to make right what was wrong (what was wrong) Blood ain't thicker than wisdom (nah) Open eyes give us vision (yeah) Unity the only mission Divide and conquer? Nah we ain't listenin' Together we rise (rise) Together we climb (climb) [Verse 3] Look past the colors and the tags we claim Deep down inside we all feel the same Pain make us harder, love make us heal Bridge them gaps, that's the real deal Your struggle my struggle, your win my win Your loss my loss, let's begin again All this beef just keepin' us down Time to build up, claim this crown [Chorus] Different block, same pain (what?) Different talk, same game (yeah) We all tryna make it out (make it) Rain fallin', same drain (facts) Different block, same pain (talk to em) Different talk, same game (uh-huh) When we gonna figure out (when?) We all in the same lane (real talk) [spoken:] Ayo, f'real though. Meet me in the middle. I'll be there waiting for ya. We can work it out. We gotta', this state of fear, mistrust, & hostility IS NOT the new normal. It's a phase, we'll shake it off.
