Lyrics
[Intro]
Pulled up
Same street, new paint
Heart beat
Slow fade, then race (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Corner store gone
New glass, same shade
Old man’s chair
Still under that tree’s weight
Cracked sidewalk
My name carved, half erased
Kids hop over
Like we used to chase
Mama house smaller
Or I got tall
Mailbox leaning
But it still stands, y’all
That church bell heavy
Same rust on the cross
Different choir voices
Still coverin’ loss
[Chorus]
I’m back on this block
But it’s not how I left it
Faces look different
But the silence feel familiar
Every new sign
Got my old ghost reflected
Everything changed
And somehow I remember
Back on this block
With a stranger’s perspective
Street got colder
But the sun hit similar
I walk through the past
In a town that’s electric
Everything changed
And somehow I remember
[Verse 2]
Hoop court fenced in
Fresh net, no chain
We used to shoot late
’Til the sky went gray
That blue brick wall
Still tagged with our slang
They built a café
Left the letters we sprayed
Homie’s old duplex
Now sleek, all white
Her mom’s red roses
Still climb that side
Same bus stop
Where we planned our flight
Now the route’s updated
But the wait feel right
Pulled up to the bridge
Where I first felt free
Graffiti new colors
Same river beneath
Phone in my pocket
But my mind on freeze
Every step forward
Got me draggin’ my teens
[Chorus]
I’m back on this block
But it’s not how I left it
Faces look different
But the silence feel familiar
Every new sign
Got my old ghost reflected
Everything changed
And somehow I remember
Back on this block
With a stranger’s perspective
Street got colder
But the sun hit similar
I walk through the past
In a town that’s electric
Everything changed
And somehow I remember
[Bridge]
Who stays, who goes
Who fades, who grows (yeah)
Same sky, new glow
Old stories in code
I left, came home
Found proof I’ve grown
This place, these stones
Still call me their own (uh)
[Chorus]
I’m back on this block
But it’s not how I left it
Faces look different
But the silence feel familiar
Every new sign
Got my old ghost reflected
Everything changed
And somehow I remember
Back on this block
With a stranger’s perspective
Street got colder
But the sun hit similar
I walk through the past
In a town that’s electric
Everything changed
And somehow I remember
