This block will be a chain Shackles you from where you came When you leave don't you know your own? Thinking about how it made you cold like stone Every corner bears a cross It's been on fire at least once If they got a chance they'd leave us to rot Saying, "You just got to make the most of what you've got." So don't let your fear, don't let your fear Keep you here They'll turn into quicksand Don't let your fear, don't let your fear Keep you here They'll turn into quicksand In the gangs Back then we used to take what we could get It's a funny thing now that they quit We were young; you were born in a wreck Guess I picked up that bad habit Went to school with the catchment kids From nicer areas than this Same flesh, same heart Only a few streets apart So don't let your fear, don't let your fear Keep you here They'll turn into quicksand Don't let your fear, don't let your fear Keep you here They'll turn into quicksand Don't let your fear, don't let your fear Keep you here They'll turn into quicksand Don't let your fear, don't let your fear Keep you here They'll turn into quicksand In the gangs But you and me; we're cut from the same cloth A little rough, a little soft Just a girl from the gangs You and me; we're cut from the same cloth A little rough, a little soft Just a girl from the gangs Just a girl from the gangs Just a girl from the gangs Don't let them be a choke hold Don't let them be a choke hold Don't let them be a choke hold Just a girl from the gangs
