Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I came up on the block by block
With a broke-down watch and a knot in my thoughts
Old bus seat squeak, I plotted my route
Same jeans two weeks, still came with the bounce
Mama said, "Boy, keep your name in your chest"
So I move like a chess piece, never a mess
Corner store light on the cracked-up glass
I learned to make gold out of whatever I had
Loose change talk, but my aim stay clean
Big dreams in a small-town scene
They want a quick fix, I want a whole new lane
I been cutting through doubt like a razor blade
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name right
I'm still here
Hands on the wheel
No fear
[Chorus]
Block by block
I built this thing
Block by block
Now I take that swing
Block by block
Hear my name, let it ring
(Block by block)
I came to win
[Verse 2]
Late nights in the room with the notebook bent
Half a page full of pain, half a page spent
Couple fake friends tried to cash my trust
I left them in the dust, had to guard what I love
Now the kicks hit hard and the snares sit tight
I speak real life, no gloss, no hype
Old scars talk, but they don’t run me
I turn every bruise to a stripe, my sleeve
If the road gets rough, I keep my pace
No borrowed face, no copied taste
I know where I came from, I know what I owe
Every step I take got a little more glow
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name right
I'm still here
Hands on the wheel
No fear
[Chorus]
Block by block
I built this thing
Block by block
Now I take that swing
Block by block
Hear my name, let it ring
(Block by block)
I came to win
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
From the first cold winter to the last burnt bridge
I stayed on my feet, I stayed in my grip
No crown, no crowd, just a hard-earned light
And I kept it alive through the longest night
[Chorus]
Block by block
I built this thing
Block by block
Now I take that swing
Block by block
Hear my name, let it ring
(Block by block)
I came to win

Boom bap hip hop with dusty sampled drums, swung pocket, and a head-nod tempo; verse rides chopped piano and tight bass, pre-chorus strips to kick, snare, and vocal stabs, chorus hits with a gritty scratch motif and gang ad-libs. Lead vocal is close-mic and rhythmic with doubled last words, punch-in accents, and short delay throws on the hook. Vinyl crackle, tape stops, and reverse horn swells bridge the sections; mix is warm, punchy, and mid-forward., rap, hip hop
