Lyrics
[verse]
Corner store shine, she walk it like a runway
Gold hoops catchin' light on a Tuesday
Sneakers laced up clean, attitude for days
Talkin' fast, laughin' loud in a dozen ways
She ain't from no magazine, she from the block
Raised on porch steps and a beat-up clock
Radio blastin' out her cousin's ride
Everybody know her, she the neighborhood pride
[chorus]
That's my girl from the block, keep it real, keep it true
Braids tight, walk with a bounce in her shoe
She don't need no spotlight, don't need no fame
Every street on this side know her name
[verse]
Met her on the stoop where the dominoes clack
Told her she was different, she just laughed it back
Said she seen a hundred dudes try that same line
Said "come back when you got something on your mind"
So I switched it up, brought her mama some flowers
Talked about my dreams for a couple hours
She said "that's the truth I been waitin' to hear"
Now we ridin' out the summer, no fear
[chorus]
That's my girl from the block, keep it real, keep it true
Braids tight, walk with a bounce in her shoe
She don't need no spotlight, don't need no fame
Every street on this side know her name
[bridge]
Uptown, downtown, don't matter the zip
She got that fire on the tip of her lip
Loyal to her people, sharp with her mind
That's the kind of queen that's hard to find
[chorus]
That's my girl from the block, keep it real, keep it true
Braids tight, walk with a bounce in her shoe
She don't need no spotlight, don't need no fame
Every street on this side know her name
