Up and Down the Block
B
Brian Francisco
male vocals
Crunchy
irreverent punk-rap hybrid with male vocals; blown-out drums
fuzzed guitar
and a rubbery bass groove. Verses are half-spoken
half-yelled with dry wit; hook jumps into gang shouts and tight harmonies on the title phrase. Brief breakdown in the bridge with tom-heavy hits
then a final explosive chorus stacked with ad-libs.

Paroles
[Verse 1]
Nae Nae hit my phone like
"you outside?"
Caleb in the driveway
Socks
No pride
Fork in his hand like it's some gold crown
Talking way too loud for a chill hometown
Grandma on the porch chair
Laughing at us
Saying
"y'all kids wild
But you still my fuss"
Neighbor in the window
Curtains pulled back
Ready with the gossip like it's straight-up fact
[Chorus]
Up and down the block
We go
Same old street
Brand new show
Someone yelling
"oh no
Oh no"
But we just laugh and move in slow
Up and down the block
We glide
Side by side
Our crooked pride
Whole town thinking we've lost our minds
(hell yeah) we call that life
[Verse 2]
Fussy dude next door
Always in a rage
Shouting 'bout the noise like we on a stage
We just rolled our eyes
Kept stomping the ground
He kept saying "stop
" so we turned it up loud
Then the night went sideways
Stories got tall
Caleb acting wild in the strip-mall sprawl
We were just kids in a cracked-up frame
Trying to find a punchline
Not a piece of fame
[Chorus]
Up and down the block
We go
Same old street
Brand new show
Someone yelling
"oh no
Oh no"
But we just laugh and move in slow
Up and down the block
We glide
Side by side
Our crooked pride
Whole town thinking we've lost our minds
(hell yeah) we call that life
[Bridge]
One day we'll be calm
Maybe
Tell the tales
Say
"we were crazy"
But tonight we’re just that crew
Doing what the bored kids do (oh-oh)
[Chorus]
Up and down the block
We go
Same old street
Brand new show
Someone yelling
"oh no
Oh no"
But we just laugh and move in slow
Up and down the block
We glide
Side by side
Our crooked pride
Whole town thinking we've lost our minds
(hell yeah) we call that life
