[Verse] Lights flicker on the corner where the stories unfold, Concrete jungle taught me how to move, stay bold. Every step, every hustle, got me sharper in the cold, Late nights, bright sights, block's gospel told. Raised on beats and the heat from the street-side rhythm, Lessons in the cracks, learned to flip the system. Deep roots, strong grip, yeah, the block's my prism, Shining through the struggle, made me who I’m givin’. [Pre-Chorus] Now the night calls, I hear the echoes loud, Voices from the past, standin’ tall, proud. From the shadows, watch me rise, no doubt, Block made the man, now I’m shoutin' out. [Chorus] This is where I’m from, this is where I stand, Built on the block, with a fire in my hands. Late night’s my light, every move, every plan, The block shaped the man, yeah, the block shaped the man. This is where I’m from, this is where I stand, Built on the block, with a fire in my hands. Late night’s my light, every move, every plan, The block shaped the man, yeah, the block shaped the man. [Verse] Echoes bounce off walls where the dreams got tested, Friends turned to legends, memories invested. Every risk, every fall, every night arrested, Made me fight, made me grind, never second-guessed it. From cyphers on stoops to the rooftop views, Hustle in my veins, wearin' faded shoes. Block’s heartbeat steady, taught me how to choose, Survivor’s anthem loud, ain’t got nothin’ to lose. [Pre-Chorus] Now the night calls, I hear the echoes loud, Voices from the past, standin’ tall, proud. From the shadows, watch me rise, no doubt, Block made the man, now I’m shoutin' out. [Chorus] This is where I’m from, this is where I stand, Built on the block, with a fire in my hands. Late night’s my light, every move, every plan, The block shaped the man, yeah, the block shaped the man. This is where I’m from, this is where I stand, Built on the block, with a fire in my hands. Late night’s my light, every move, every plan, The block shaped the man, yeah, the block shaped the man. [Bridge] Underneath the streetlamp glow, I’m just a story you should know. From the struggle, see me grow, Block made me strong, now watch me flow. Every corner’s a lesson, every night’s a chance, In the rhythm of the city, I learned how to dance. From the shadows to the spotlight, took my stance, Block built my soul, gave me my advance. [Chorus] This is where I’m from, this is where I stand, Built on the block, with a fire in my hands. Late night’s my light, every move, every plan, The block shaped the man, yeah, the block shaped the man. This is where I’m from, this is where I stand, Built on the block, with a fire in my hands. Late night’s my light, every move, every plan, The block shaped the man, yeah, the block shaped the man. [Outro] Block shaped the man, yeah, I’m livin’ proof, From the late-night hustle to the rooftop roof. Fire in my chest, yeah, I found the truth, Block made the man, now I’m settin’ the groove.
