August Alsina, Dirty Smurf - On the Block lyrics

First thing when I wake up
Tryna get this cake up
Thinking 'bout my next move
Until I get my weight up
Started in the gutter, tryna get to something
So don't wonder what I got cause
I ain't never had a lot
So that's why I be on the block
You know that I be tryna be
Cause I be on the block
Tryna get this work in, i'm grinding
Cause I be on the block
Drilling at rush hour, grind time
And I be on the block
You know I be on the block

I'm stacking up these bands but
These bitches keep hating
Know we had to cut some homies loose cause
I found out they was faking on me
They was talking to the police
Now they got investigations on me
Tried take all that I own
They really tryna break the homie
Said they don't understand my
Pain, my struggle, what I been through
So I work the block and I hustle
Hard every night just to get looped
They can't comprehend my paper chase
I'm trying get my paper straight
They pray to God that I catch a case
But I'mma keep on grinding to test your fate
Been through a lot of drama
My daddy just died, gotta take care of mama
Bank roll full of commas
Pressure on my shoulders got
Me feeling like Obama
Number crack in the hood with a
Pack with a good real trap
Better get that understood
And try to rob me, I wish you would
That 22 try try like wood
First thing when I wake up
Tryna get this cake up
Thinking 'bout my next move
Until I get my weight up
Started in the gutter, tryna get to something
So don't wonder what I got cause
I ain't never had a lot
So that's why I be on the block
You know that I be tryna be
Cause I be on the block
Tryna get this work in, i'm grinding
Cause I be on the block
Drilling at rush hour, grind time
And I be on the block
You know I be on the block

That money be on my mind
First thing when I wake up
I'm taking chances in these streets
Tryna get this cake up
And I'mma keep on grinding hard
Until I get my weight up
Can't even focus on the haters
I'm too busy getting paper
What you know about struggling
Broke as hell and your bills due?
Think about robbing the plug but
If they find out, they kill you
Ay, these niggas don't know, hustling hard
Got to get to the dough
Yeah I'm moving that shit
X'ing these hoes like tic tac-toe
I'm in these streets and I'm grinding hard
Yeah I'm on the block every single day
I'm the kitchen whipping crack cause in
My hood that's the only way
Huh, to make it out, mentally in prison
I'm breaking out
Round here I got crazy thoughts
So I can understand what they hating 'bout

First thing when I wake up
Tryna get this cake up
Thinking 'bout my next move
Until I get my weight up
Started in the gutter, tryna get to something
So don't wonder what I got cause
I ain't never had a lot
So that's why I be on the block
You know that I be tryna be
Cause I be on the block
Tryna get this work in, i'm grinding
Cause I be on the block
Drilling at rush hour, grind time
And I be on the block
You know I be on the block
