On the Block

[Verse] Broken glass on the pavement, shattered dreams sprawl, Too many brothers taken, justice standin' tall. Blue lights flashin', sirens echo night, Fear and rage mix, in the fire of the fight. [Verse 2] Mama's cryin', tears flood the avenue, Lost souls wander, their hearts torn in two. Fists clench, voices rise, armor on our chest, We march for peace in the rhythm of the unrest. [Chorus] Hands up, don't shoot, the echo of the street, Gettin' loud in the alley, every pulse beat. Stand strong, stay true, power in the name, No more silent shadows, we rewrite this game. [Verse 3] City skyline lit, by the sparks of pain, Chained minds break free, wash away the stain. Hope in the ink, words scribed in blood, History’s scroll unfolds, in a swelling flood. [Verse 4] Peaceful protest steps, on the march of time, Each stride a defiance, every chant a rhyme. Bricks and bottles crash, against shield walls, Injustice trembles, at the chorus of the calls. [Chorus] Hands up, don't shoot, the echo of the street, Gettin' loud in the alley, every pulse beat. Stand strong, stay true, power in the name, No more silent shadows, we rewrite this game.
