WHOLE BLOCK UP

Whole block up, whole block up
One name down, but we all show up
Who you came with? (All of us!)
Whole block up, whole block up
Whole block up, whole block up
Bass hit once, made the whole street jump
Who you came with? (All of us!)
Whole block up, whole block up

Used to split ten just to get across town,
Now the same crew's got the windows down.
Fresh white soles on a cracked front step,
Told my little cousin, "We ain't done yet."
Corner store owner came out with a grin,
Said, "You owe me two sodas from way back when."
Slid him a hundred, he slid it right back,
Said, "Sign that picture, we'll call it a wrap."
Long driveway, got an oil-stained spot,
Still won't make my day-one park down the block.
One on the grill, one takin' requests,
One can't dance, but he thinks he's the best.
Phone face down, let the whole night run,
Tell the driver circle back, we ain't close to done.
Cars lined up, had the whole curb taken,
We ain't runnin' late—we the reason they waitin'.

Front row—up!
Back row—up!
Can't fit this crowd in a close-up!
Who you came with? (All of us!)

Whole block up, whole block up
One name down, but we all show up
Who you came with? (All of us!)
Whole block up, whole block up
Whole block up, whole block up
Bass hit once, made the whole street jump
Who you came with? (All of us!)
Whole block up, whole block up

Bouncer said, "How many?" I said, "Count again."
"That line around the corner? They're all my friends."
Two tables joined, still we dragged in chairs,
Waiter said, "More?" I said, "Look over there."
Whole bar paid, still owe my boy five,
He brings it up every single time.
Girl in the red got her heels in her hand,
Told her, "Come here, let me show you the dance."
Step to the left, bring it back with a grin,
Shoulders do the talkin' when the kick comes in.
DJ cut the track, let the whole room sing,
Bar staff still yellin' while they stack those drinks.
They tried to get a shot with just me in the frame,
I pulled my people closer, said, "Take it again."
Photo came out blurred, but the whole crew loved it,
Can't see my watch, but you see who I run with.

First big check, I ate dinner alone,
Took one bite, started callin' back home.
Waiter said, "Big night?" I said, "Not quite."
That's why I brought everybody tonight.

Whole block up, whole block up
One name down, but we all show up
Who you came with? (All of us!)
Whole block up, whole block up
Whole block up, whole block up
Bass hit once, made the whole street jump
Who you came with? (All of us!)
Whole block up, whole block up
Whole block up, whole block up
Back that camera up—get all of us!
Who you came with? (All of us!)
Whole block up, whole block up

Lights came on, ain't nobody moved,
Same old laugh from the same old crew.
Who you came with? (All of us!)
Whole block up!
