"My Block", often referred to incorrectly as "On My Block", is a 2002 song by American rapper Scarface, and was the lead single released from his seventh album, The Fix.
The song samples the piano intro from the 1971 Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway song "Be Real Black For Me".
"My Block" made it to 46 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
A remix was made of "My Block", featuring previously recorded vocals by deceased rapper Tupac Shakur, and was released on Shakur's posthumous 2002 album Better Dayz.
Alright... come on... no-w-w-w-w
The main gate to the mansion is locked
It's on my street ― on my block
I went in but I got chased off
The store-keeper said 'why don't the cars stop?'
But the mansion's not the attraction it once was
And it's on my, it's on my, on my... on my block
On my block
Girl I've been called names times before
It happens cause it happens here
And nobody said they'd ever hear
The garden is unkept and in bloom
There is wilderness and flowers in my room
The caretakers kept to be fired soon
On my block
Girl I've been called names times before
It happens cause it happens here
And nobody said they'd ever hear
The maingate ― the mansion ― is locked
I'm standing on the spot
And it's on my, oh my my... on my block
