Back Back on the block Back Back on the blockBack, on the block, so we can rock With the soul, rhythm, blues, be bop and hip hop Back on the block Back on the blockIce-T, let me kick my credentials A young player, bred in South Central L.A., home of the body bag You wanna die, wear the wrong color ragI used to walk in stores and yell, "Lay down" You flinch an inch AK spray down But I was lucky 'cause I never caught the hard time I was blessed with the skill to bust a dope rhymeAll my homies died or caught the penzo Lost their diamonds, cops towed their Benzos Livin' that life that we thought was it Fast lanin', but the car flippedI'm not gonna lie to ya, 'cause I don't lie I just kick thick game, some people say why? 'Cause I'm back on the block, I got my life back So I school the fools about the fast trackI get static from the style of my technique Profanity, the blatant way in which I speak But the Dude knows the streets ain't no kiddie game You don't know the Dude? Quincy's his first nameHe told me, Ice, keep doin' what you're doin', man Don't give a damn if the squares don't understand You let 'em tell you what to say and what to write Your whole career'll be over by tomorrow nightRap from your heart, and your heart's with the street Rap on my record, man, Kimiko, send Ice the beat The Dude is def no doubt, what can I say? The man can roll with Ice-T or Michael JBack Back on the block Back Back on the blockBack, on the block, so we can rock With the soul, rhythm, blues, be bop and hip hop Back on the block Back on the blockI'm back, on the block, on the screen I'm on the wax, I'm on the stage, I'm on the scene I'm on the case, just like an attorney The Dude took me on a magic journeyTo dance in France, alone in Rome On the farmlands of Nebraska, the cold of Alaska The heat of the motherland to be with my brother man On top of a snowcapped mountain I'm scoutin'What another man saw in a race of people To see him give his life for the price of equal The highest wisdoms, the richest kingdoms The song of songs we heard David sing themHe showed me me when I was young and hung out He showed me makin' love, even showed me strung out He showed me poppin' nines, standin' on a rock But tears came to my eyes when he showed me my blockBa-ba-back on the Ba-back on Ba-ba-back on the block Ba-ba-back on Ba-ba-back on the blockStokie's just Stokie, mama (Stokie's Stokie) And one by one each woman he kiss (He kiss her and she gon' fall in love)Stokie's just Stokie, you know? (Stokie's Stokie) Till someone shows that they care enough (Ain't nothin' gonna bother Stokie much)Some say they can't take it no more (Comin' here, comin' here startin' stuff) But Dude is back on duty fo' sho' (Back on the block to stay)They say he ain't gonna be with it (Comin' back, comin' back to the street) But Dude he know you'll never forget it (Back on the block to stay)Back up and give the brother room To let poetry bloom to whom it may concern or consume As I reminisce before this the bliss that exist But now we brought about a twist'Cause I remember of my people bleedin' Put through slavery and killed for bravery We shoulda got our freedom much sooner You never seen a Blackman on the honeymoonersBut now somehow we've learned to earn, to grow, to show The elevation of a people built is so Jesse Jackson, Miss America a black one No more livin' for just a small fractionI was once told by the Dude that knowledge is a food To nourish, so to conclude This from an Asiatic descendant, Big Daddy is shocked Yo Q, we back on the blockBack Back on the block Back Back on the blockBack, on the block, so we can rock With the soul, rhythm, blues, be bop and hip hop Back on the block Back on the blockAn everlasting omnipresence is my present State of being, seeing the unpleasant Sight of righteous souls live like peasants The mind stunts growth in adolescenceMy insight enables me to enlight The weakest of minds, and I put 'em in flight As I transcend, a-scend or de-scend Re-create, re-incarnate and re-sendThe powerful spirits of our ancestors For those that don't know how God blessed us Because man messed up, the media dressed up Lies perpetrated as truth, and it left usConfused, but I've seen it all before From Babylon to the Third World War I'm more than a man, I'm more like an entity Back on the block, and this time my identity is the DudeBa-ba-back on the Ba-back on Ba-ba-back on the block Ba-ba-back on Ba-ba-back on the blockStoki, ke Stoki, mai-bo (Stoki, Stoki) Wam babma, wam bamb'u mandisa (Wahm bamba wahm bamboo mandisa)Stoki, ke Stoki, mai-bo (Stoki, Stoki) Wam babma, wam bamb'u mandisa (Wahm bamba wahm bamboo mandisa)M'yeke, yeke, yeke, wena (Kha'mye, kha'myeke wena) Yo khala, khala, khala, u mama (Yo khal'u mama khe)M'yeke, yeke, yeke, wena (Kha'mye, kha'myeke, wena) Yo khala, kha, 'yok 'shaya u baba (Yok shaya u baba khe)Back on the block Ba-ba-back on the Ba-ba-back on the block Ba-ba-back on Ba-ba-back on the block Ba-ba-back on the Ba-ba-back on the block Ba-ba-back on the blockNow I would, I would contend that ah The rappers rap is here to stay
