[Verse 1] Early where I’m from Mama prayin’ I don’t run Catch a stare the wrong way That could be the last day Corner store, packed lot Blue rag, red spot Heard they slid on my cousin Now his name on a button Everybody got a story Not everybody see forty We was kids with a ball Now it’s sticks by the wall [Chorus] Block ties, can’t cut these block ties Grow up in the crossfire, all we know is “survive” You either ride or you ride, there ain’t much to decide (Just tryna stay alive, stay alive) Block ties, too many block ties Every face that I lost still look me in my eyes I’m tryna rise, but the hood keep pullin’ my life (Yeah the hood keep pullin’ my life, my life) [Verse 2] OG say “spin back” But my heart screamin’ “sit back” If I go, I’ma get back Then they come for the get-back Kid on the porch hear shots Hit the floor, glass drop Didn’t even see the opps Whole world in a small block Tatted tears on his skin He don’t know where to begin Trauma tucked in his grin Still he clutchin’ that sin [Chorus] Block ties, can’t cut these block ties Grow up in the crossfire, all we know is “survive” You either ride or you ride, there ain’t much to decide (Just tryna stay alive, stay alive) Block ties, too many block ties Every face that I lost still look me in my eyes I’m tryna rise, but the hood keep pullin’ my life (Yeah the hood keep pullin’ my life, my life) [Bridge] What if we walked away Lived to see older days Would they still call it brave If we chose not to go grave Little homie, think twice You ain’t just rollin’ dice Every shot got a price Sometimes peace more than pride [Chorus] Block ties, can’t cut these block ties Grow up in the crossfire, all we know is “survive” You either ride or you ride, there ain’t much to decide (Just tryna stay alive, stay alive) Block ties, too many block ties Every face that I lost still look me in my eyes I’m tryna rise, but the hood keep pullin’ my life (Yeah the hood keep pullin’ my life, my life),
