The Bloc

Open up your mind
Take a look inside
Does it seem so real?
If you’re not alive
And I try to derive the
Meaning of my time
And how I survive the
Plight of my kind

When you dive into the well
And you let your body go
And you take that one step, and
You make it to the show
It’s the road we travel, it’s the Choices we make
It’s the outrage, the crying, and the Pity we fake

Oh my, time it passes me by
So quick, I’m starting to lose my mind
I find, the meaning of this rhyme
Is to get cross my point and step
Back in line
Cause I learned the meaning of hell the other
Day on your last stay on earth
the person you are meets the person you
Could’ve been
Damn, did I choose the right way?

I’ve been looking
I’ve been waiting all day
I’ve been trying to come to grips with what
I’m supposed to say

I don’t even know just where I am
But it doesn’t even matter
It’s all part of the plan

Walking through the dark
Trying to find my place in life
Where do I belong should I stick with the fight?
Is the end game worth it will I
Find what I’m looking for
I sure hope so cause I can’t take anymore

Moving through the tunnel I can see the light
At the end day it’ll be alright.
Cause we’ve got one
Chance and we got one shot
To make it through everything on the bloc

Take a look around at all them people
Standing there in front of the steeple
They’ve been begging and
They’ve been crying, but the
Help won’t come and they’re still dying

How can we let this injustice go on?
Doesn’t anybody care if we're strong?
A team is only its weakest link
And I say it’s time we fix the kink

All I see, and all I be
My paycheck is all I need
But that don’t always come easy
It's rough out there and life ain't free
It’s time to think, it's time to change
It’s time to finally rearrange
It’s time to understand in life
The things that will not be

It’s time to do, what we said
There’s no point in acting dead
Let's stand up, let's stand strong
Let's act out and live this long
Let's take this issue to the top
Cause I’ll be dead before we stop
We marchin' through the city streets
We stand up for what's right and wrong

Raise your hands
Throw 'em up in the sky
This is never how I thought I was gonna die
Take a step back, think
About what you’re doing put the gun down
There’s no need for shooting
I’ve lived my whole life the best I can
I’ve never been perfect
But is any man?
One more chance is all I need
One more chance to help me succeed

It’s been four years
Since I last called him
It’s been three years since
I even thought of him
On that fateful day
When I shot at him
I don’t even know if he got a name

I regret what i did every single day
I don’t even know
How I could pay, him back
It’s long road, road to
Redemption but it’s my time,
A moment of reflection

I’m sorry for what I did,
I never meant for it to get to this point
One day, I hope we can meet again
