[Verse 1]
This block will be a chain
Shackles you from where you came
When you leave don't you know your own?
Thinking about how it made you cold like stone

Every corner bears a cross
It's been on fire at least once
If they got a chance they'd leave us to rot
Saying, "You just got to make the most of what you've got."

[Chorus]
So don't let your fear, don't let your fear
Keep you here
They'll turn into quicksand

Don't let your fear, don't let your fear
Keep you here
They'll turn into quicksand

In the gangs

[Verse 2]
Back then we used to take what we could get
It's a funny thing now that they quit
We were young; you were born in a wreck
Guess I picked up that bad habit

Went to school with the catchment kids
From nicer areas than this
Same flesh, same heart
Only a few streets apart

[Chorus]
So don't let your fear, don't let your fear
Keep you here
They'll turn into quicksand

Don't let your fear, don't let your fear
Keep you here
They'll turn into quicksand

Don't let your fear, don't let your fear
Keep you here
They'll turn into quicksand

Don't let your fear, don't let your fear
Keep you here
They'll turn into quicksand

In the gangs

[Bridge]
But you and me; we're cut from the same cloth
A little rough, a little soft
Just a girl from the gangs

You and me; we're cut from the same cloth
A little rough, a little soft
Just a girl from the gangs

Just a girl from the gangs
Just a girl from the gangs

Don't let them be a choke hold
Don't let them be a choke hold
Don't let them be a choke hold
Just a girl from the gangs
