Back On The Block - Quincy Jones[00:00:00]
Back[00:00:05]
Back on the block[00:00:06]
Back[00:00:09]
Back on the block[00:00:11]
Back on the block so we can rock[00:00:14]
With the soul rhythm blues be bop and hip hop[00:00:16]
Back on the block[00:00:18]
Back on the block[00:00:20]
Ice-T let me kick my credentials[00:00:23]
A young player bred in South Central[00:00:25]
L A home of the body bag[00:00:27]
You wanna die wear the wrong color rag[00:00:30]
I used to walk in stores and yell "Lay down"[00:00:32]
You flinch an inch AK spray down[00:00:34]
But I was lucky 'cause I never caught the hard time[00:00:37]
I was blessed with the skill to bust a dope rhyme[00:00:39]
All my homies died or caught the penzo[00:00:42]
Lost their diamonds cops towed their Benzos[00:00:44]
Livin' that life that we thought was it[00:00:46]
Fast lanin' but the car flipped[00:00:48]
I'm not gonna lie to ya 'cause I don't lie[00:00:50]
I just kick thick game some people say why [00:00:53]
'Cause I'm back on the block I got my life back[00:00:55]
So I school the fools about the fast track[00:00:57]
I get static from the style of my technique[00:01:00]
Profanity the blatant way in which I speak[00:01:02]
But the Dude knows the streets ain't no kiddie game[00:01:04]
You don't know the Dude Quincy's his first name[00:01:06]
He told me Ice keep doin' what you're doin' man[00:01:09]
Don't give a damn if the squares don't understand[00:01:11]
You let 'em tell you what to say and what to write[00:01:13]
Your whole career'll be over by tomorrow night[00:01:15]
Rap from your heart and your heart's with the street[00:01:18]
Rap on my record man Kimiko send Ice the beat[00:01:20]
The Dude is def no doubt what can I say[00:01:22]
The man can roll with Ice-T or Michael J[00:01:25]
Back[00:01:27]
Back on the block[00:01:29]
Back[00:01:31]
Back on the block[00:01:33]
Back on the block so we can rock[00:01:36]
With the soul rhythm blues be bop and hip hop[00:01:38]
Back on the block[00:01:41]
Back on the block[00:01:42]
I'm back on the block on the screen[00:01:45]
I'm on the wax I'm on the stage I'm on the scene[00:01:47]
I'm on the case just like an attorney[00:01:50]
The Dude took me on a magic journey[00:01:52]
To dance in France alone in Rome[00:01:54]
On the farmlands of Nebraska the cold of Alaska[00:01:56]
The heat of the motherland to be with my brother man[00:01:59]
On top of a snowcapped mountain I'm scoutin'[00:02:01]
What another man saw in a race of people[00:02:03]
To see him give his life for the price of equal[00:02:06]
The highest wisdoms the richest kingdoms[00:02:08]
The song of songs we heard David sing them[00:02:10]
He showed me me when I was young and hung out[00:02:12]
He showed me makin' love even showed me strung out[00:02:15]
He showed me poppin' nines standin' on a rock[00:02:17]
But tears came to my eyes when he showed me my block[00:02:19]
Ba-ba-back on the[00:02:23]
Ba-back on[00:02:24]
Ba-ba-back on the block[00:02:26]
Ba-ba-back on[00:02:28]
Ba-ba-back on the block[00:02:29]
Stokie's just Stokie mama[00:02:31]
Stokie's Stokie[00:02:34]
And one by one each woman he kiss[00:02:35]
He kiss her and she gon' fall in love[00:02:38]
Stokie's just Stokie you know[00:02:40]
Stokie's Stokie[00:02:43]
Till someone shows that they care enough[00:02:45]
Ain't nothin' gonna bother Stokie much[00:02:47]
Some say they can't take it no more[00:02:49]
Comin' here comin' here startin' stuff[00:02:52]
But Dude is back on duty fo' sho'[00:02:54]
Back on the block to stay[00:02:56]
They say he ain't gonna be with it[00:02:58]
Comin' back comin' back to the street[00:03:01]
But Dude he know you'll never forget it[00:03:03]
Back on the block to stay[00:03:05]
Back up and give the brother room[00:03:12]
To let poetry bloom to whom it may concern or consume[00:03:13]
As I reminisce before this the bliss that exist[00:03:17]
But now we brought about a twist[00:03:19]
'Cause I remember of my people bleedin'[00:03:21]
Put through slavery and killed for bravery[00:03:23]
We shoulda got our freedom much sooner[00:03:26]
You never seen a Blackman on the honeymooners[00:03:28]
But now somehow we've learned to earn to grow to show[00:03:30]
The elevation of a people built is so[00:03:33]
Jesse Jackson Miss America a black one[00:03:35]
No more livin' for just a small fraction[00:03:37]
I was once told by the Dude that knowledge is a food[00:03:39]
To nourish so to conclude[00:03:42]
This from an Asiatic descendant Big Daddy is shocked[00:03:44]
Yo Q we back on the block[00:03:47]
Back[00:03:49]
Back on the block[00:03:50]
Back[00:03:53]
Back on the block[00:03:55]
Back on the block so we can rock[00:03:58]
With the soul rhythm blues be bop and hip hop[00:04:00]
Back on the block[00:04:02]
Back on the block[00:04:04]
An everlasting omnipresence is my present[00:04:07]
State of being seeing the unpleasant[00:04:09]
Sight of righteous souls live like peasants[00:04:11]
The mind stunts growth in adolescence[00:04:14]
My insight enables me to enlight[00:04:16]
The weakest of minds and I put 'em in flight[00:04:18]
As I transcend a-scend or de-scend[00:04:20]
Re-create re-incarnate and re-send[00:04:23]
The powerful spirits of our ancestors[00:04:25]
For those that don't know how God blessed us[00:04:27]
Because man messed up the media dressed up[00:04:30]
Lies perpetrated as truth and it left us[00:04:32]
Confused but I've seen it all before[00:04:34]
From Babylon to the Third World War[00:04:36]
I'm more than a man I'm more like an entity[00:04:39]
Back on the block and this time my identity is the Dude[00:04:41]
Ba-ba-back on the[00:04:45]
Ba-back on[00:04:46]
Ba-ba-back on the block[00:04:47]
Ba-ba-back on[00:04:50]
Ba-ba-back on the block[00:04:51]
