Lyrics
[Verse 1]
DJ CERTIFIED wrote da track
I came up where the nights hit back
When times get hard, I don't fold
I was taught to survive, not fold
On the block trying to make something happen
Young face, big plans, same old tactics
Time to time it get a little harder
Still I move like a son of my father
[Pre-Chorus]
We had it hard
You can see it in my eyes
No silver plate
Just scars and grinding ties
Where I grew up
Ain't no free ride, baby
Every step I take
Got the whole hood weigh me
[Chorus]
On the block, I make it happen
On the block, I keep on slappin'
Where I grew up
We had it hard
Where I grew up
We had it hard
When times get hard
I get harder
When times get hard
I move smarter
[Verse 2]
Same cracked curb, same front steps
Same old rules, same cold debt
Mama worked late, lights stayed low
I learned quick what the struggle know
Friends switched lanes, I stayed near
Kept my name clean through the fear
I don't brag, I just push through
Turn pain to plans, that's what I do
[Pre-Chorus]
We had it hard
But we made a way
Cold outside
Still I chased that day
Where I grew up
It made a fighter outta me
Every loss I took
Put iron in my feet
[Chorus]
On the block, I make it happen
On the block, I keep on slappin'
Where I grew up
We had it hard
Where I grew up
We had it hard
When times get hard
I get harder
When times get hard
I move smarter
[Bridge]
I seen the tears on the kitchen floor
I seen the rent door shut before
Still I stand, still I rise
Same hard road, same hard eyes
If I stumble, I don't stay down
I was built from this town
[Final Chorus]
On the block, I make it happen
On the block, I keep on slappin'
Where I grew up
We had it hard
Where I grew up
We had it hard
When times get hard
I get harder
When times get hard
I move smarter
On the block, I make it happen
On the block, I keep on slappin'
