Hold Down The Block

歌詞

I gotta hold down the block when the block is hot I gotta use my imagination to change the situation I gotta hold down the block when the block is hot I gotta use my imagination to change the situation Yea Feds feast on street dons look at their teeth showing Salivating at the mouth South to East Orange Keep pouring that liquor but nigga don't sleep on it You'll be giving up your Jesus piece to your peeps to pawn it For legal fees in the penal dorm Screaming on the horn with about thirty years on your conscience I'm watching brothers disappear it's appalling Some dudes had just only a year of balling Counter-intelligence found a strange evidence When the block is hot Still we behind the wheel with heat on us hanging with predicates Position we placed in caves in so they got us caged in Ways spinning like Mike Bivens from New Edition aging I gotta When the block is hot I got families I'm feeding 'cause my mans is bleeding Every five seconds look in all directions I come through prepared I give them a call I'm close bring them guns downstairs I gotta hold down the block when the block is hot I gotta use my imagination to change the situation I gotta hold down the block when the block is hot hold it down I gotta use my imagination to change the situation Uh uh it's beef week Monday murder Two niggaz dead Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday is hearse-day Friday somebody-gotta-die-day Saturday put the gat away Chilling wit your chick and a bag of haze Wondering how it's all gon' end and what type of way 'Cause Sunday back to gunplay Mo' shit start over nothing And get finished quick 'cause the art of repercussion Yeah I seen it a G' going out indecent When the block is hot Taking a plea agreement thinking he secret Escape the crime scene now you live straight like 9:15 Then one-time intervene I gotta lay My man ain't like me saying I don't care if I die But the SIG Sauer on me now I'm scared to die You thinking the one I send to clap you be a shorty But he old school holding a .38 he in his forties I gotta hold down the block when the block is hot I gotta use my imagination to change the situation I gotta hold down the block when the block is hot I gotta use my imagination to change the situation I gotta Anytime brothers can't get jobs then they rob When the block is hot A man rather die than live on his knees and starve Cops steady asking your man what happened First he tell then he stop like he not really ratting Guess he not really in that casket from a sawed-off When the block is hot Listen peep game from the brain of an all-star The rain hurt niggaz bones who been shot Metal pins in their leg they walk with a limp-hop The streets lie When the block is hot so you better be cautious Your man'll fry you plus everybody talking A vet a General don't step where I walked in Make your own path be a legend in your skin Hold down the block Make your own cash when the block is hot don't stress what I'm forcing Don't expect more when you put in less work than all them Queensbridge projects has taught him and that's for life You heard me right I got the block When the block is hot When the block is hot I gotta use my imagination to change the situation I gotta hold down the block when the block is hot I gotta use my imagination to change the situation I gotta hold down the block when the block is hot I gotta use my imagination to change the situation
