[Intro]

Hey it's your girl Super Cindy reporting live

From the corner of 183rd Street and 27th Avenue

At Checkers, in Miami Gardens (8-8-8-808 Mafia)

We got Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz and Rick Ross

And we're here for the "Buy Back the Block" movement

Where we raise up the community and support and love us

[Interlude: Rick Ross & 2 Chainz]

We own the hood (Forreal doe)

And we live by it, die by it then, ya heard me?

Nigga run up your hood, like, like literally

Huh!


[Verse 1: 2 Chainz]

I got a crib in Florida, and I don't even stay there

Been bought my mama a crib, bought baby mama a daycare

I gotta ball for Peter, all of my boys illegal

I used to sell the reefer, now I just sell Adidas

Been had the Rollie, been ate bologna

Just closed on a Cali crib, 'round the corner from Kobe

Property, property, property, property, nigga I'm tryna invest

Talking monopoly, I'm tryna encourage a nigga to run up a check

Nigga no treadmill, you niggas just stand still

Heard you were talkin' trash, throw that shit in the landfill

I'm 'bout the money, lil nigga, Ben Franklin my uncle, lil nigga

I used to trap right in front of you niggas

Sellin' dope just like dunkin' to niggas, uh

This is a windmill, I smell like 10 mil'

Put all my chains on, I cause a wind chill

I hit up Renzel, went over details

Got us some young niggas that'll stand on your windshield


[Chorus: Rick Ross]

It's time to buy back the block, buy back the block

It's time to buy back the block, buy back the block

It's time to buy back the hood, buy back the hood

It's time to buy back the hood, buy back the hood

It's time to buy back the hood, buy back the hood

I'm 'bout to buy back the hood, buy back the hood


[Verse 2: Gucci Mane]

I sold ten bricks a day but now I need ten Chick-Fil-A's

Just bought two studios 'cause I got so much shit to say

I made 10 million dollars, man and I was on house arrest

She says her jaws hurt, she need to give her mouth a rest

These niggas fallin' off, only the strong survive

These suckers reachin' out, but ain't no need to try

T-Tell 'em somethin' slick, slick enough to slip and slide

And I know how to pitch, so I'ma get your bitch to drive

All the OG's I looked up to, man they broke as shit

These lil niggas look up to me because I'm super rich

I'm goin' live, I'm, I'm still alive

God thank you for my punishment, it made me wise


[Chorus: Rick Ross]

It's time to buy back the block, buy back the block

It's time to buy back the block, buy back the block

It's time to buy back the hood, buy back the hood

It's time to buy back the hood, buy back the hood

It's time to buy back the hood, buy back the hood

I'm 'bout to buy back the hood, buy back the hood


[Verse 3: Rick Ross]

It's time to clean up the ghetto, a dope boy wanna shine

Time to buy back the block, talkin' one brick at a time

I sold a few records, I bought me a Checkers

Wingstop well invested, so Taco Bell left for breakfast

I seen a few M's, it's time to touch me that 100

So let's put up this money and let's go half on a Sonics

Yes I feed lemon pepper, angel wings with the feathers

If you feel like I feel, I pray you live rich forever

Okay, let's buy back the block, I might buy me a Wendy's

Just to pull up on skinnies every Tuesday and Wednesdays

I might buy me ten Denny's, I might buy Family Dollar

Cut it to 50 Cent, I got a job for your father

I'm tryna help with the rent, I came up from the strength

My lil son, he a prince, it's time that we represent


[Chorus: Rick Ross]

It's time to buy back the block, buy back the block

It's time to buy back the block, buy back the block

It's time to buy back the hood, buy back the hood

It's time to buy back the hood, buy back the hood

It's time to buy back the hood, buy back the hood

I'm 'bout to buy back the hood, buy back the hood


[Outro: Rick Ross]

It's all about your last name meaning something, you heard me?

Start with you a duplex, work up to a house

Maybe a small plaza, I'm looking for a mall

Anybody selling a mall, holla at me, you heard me?

Maybe get my mama a gas station, she like BP

Texaco, holla at me, you heard me? It's the boss

I'm 'bout to buy back the block, buy back the block

It's time to buy back the block, buy back the block

I'm 'bout to buy back the city, buy back the city

Buy back the city, buy back the city

I'm out (M-M-M-Maybach Music)

Huh!
