McKinley Dixon - Circle The Block

{Chorus}
Every cop light is for me until it pass
I’m trying to make sure this black life last
Circle the block
I ain’t mean to resist
So officer why your foot on my neck and my wrist
Circle the block
It’s for my mama man
So honestly I don’t see what the problem is
Retaliation is key
And you know what to do if they ever get to me

{Verse 1}
Circle the back now, figure out
Special knock, pat down
Plan of attack, how we rise from ash, foul
What they did to us, nigga it’s not fair
I don’t care, I don’t know what they done saw in my hair
That made ‘em dread it to the point of being issues on sight
Clipped wings from the flight
Told ‘em meet at the light
Didn’t see him that night, but somehow lifelike
Uh
And if the next word out your mouth is, “Huh?”
I’mma slap the black off you
Getting back, we off to
The corner store devise plans in there
There’s a dark feeling, something
We’re more than scared
You thinking it don’t exist
The crime getting dismissed
It persists in my mother, it materialize
Formed as something I’m trying not to spread to mine
Mama the sun, so water never fall from her eyes
In exchange for that heat
I don’t think she can cry
And every cop light

{Chorus}
Every cop light is for me until it pass (Every cop light)
I’m trying to make sure this black life last (Yeah, every cop light)
Circle the block
I ain’t mean to resist
So officer why your foot on my neck and my wrist
Circle the block
It’s for my mama man
So honestly I don’t see what the problem is
Retaliation is key
And you know what to do if they ever get to me

{Verse 2}
Pop off, cut ‘em out like the middleman
If you see the red and blue
Tu-tu-tu, fight back!
Cops on the streets outside of the bodega
We pourin’ this shit out that we just bought
For all of our niggas that we lost
Put it up, and we ain’t tryna start a fight
Unless you really ‘bout it nigga
It’s been a long night
For us black boys whose hobbies are bodying what we feel
And stop killing my trans fam for real, for real
I’m loud and about it
We fight for homies who ain’t allowed to be loud and about it
Something been sprouting up in these areas
I don’t plan to resist
So officer, why your foot on my neck and my wrist?
Grip to a fist
You know the move, if he with the shits
Never submit
Fuck around and he might hit me with a brick
Then I’m gone
Really no pity for sympathizers
Rebel from your oppressors and bang on colonizers

{Chorus}
Every cop light is for me until it pass (Ha ha ha ha)
I’m trying to make sure this black life last (Yeah)
Circle the block
I ain’t mean to resist
So officer why your foot on my neck and my wrist
Circle the block
It’s for my mama man
So honestly I don’t see what the problem is
Retaliation is key
And you know what to do if they ever

{Bridge}
If they ever
If they ever, if they ever
If they ever get to me
If they ever get to me
If they ever get to me
Circle the block
Circle
Circle the block
Circle, circle, circle
Circle, circle, circle
Hah!
Uh!
Yeah, yeah, get em!
Get it
Circle, circle, circle
Circle
Circle
If they ever, get to me
If they ever get to me
Retaliation’s key
What do you see when you see me
Any chance they can take out in the street
(?...)
I circle the block
Circle the block
Circle, circle, circle, circle
Circle
Circle, circle, circle, circle
Circle, circle
Circle the block

{Outro}
Circle the block
Can’t call, can’t park
Can’t reach, for the box
Can’t call, can’t park
Can’t reach, for the box
Hands up, for an opp?
