[00:00.00] 作曲 : N. JONES/M. BATSON
[00:01.00] 作词 : Batson, Jones
[00:10.38] I gotta lay down the block,
[00:11.85]
[00:13.04] when the block is hot
[00:14.30]
[00:15.38] I gotta use my imagination,
[00:17.36]
[00:17.97] to change the situation
[00:19.48]
[00:20.67] I gotta lay down the block,
[00:22.51]
[00:23.33] when the block is hot
[00:24.55]
[00:25.82] I gotta use my imagination,
[00:27.71]
[00:28.39] to change the situation
[00:30.71] Yea, Feds feast on street dons,
[00:32.00] look at their teeth showin'
[00:34.00] Salivatin' at the mouth,
[00:35.49] South to East Orange
[00:36.70] Keep pourin' that liquor,
[00:38.01] but nigga don't sleep on it
[00:39.16] You'll be givin' up your Jesus piece
[00:40.69] to your peeps to pawn it
[00:41.85] For legal fees in the penal dorm
[00:43.62] Screamin' on the horn with 'bout
[00:45.31] thirty years on your conscience
[00:46.38] I'm watchin' brothers disappear,
[00:47.98]
[00:48.51] it's appallin'
[00:49.38] Some dudes had just only a year of ballin'
[00:51.85] Counter-intelligence
[00:52.15]
[00:53.02] found a strange evidence
[00:54.10] (When the block is hot)
[00:55.05] Still we behind the wheel with heat on us,
[00:56.92] hangin' with predicates
[00:58.10] Position we placed in caves in,
[00:59.38] so they got us caged in
[01:00.64] Ways spinnin' like Mike Bivens
[01:02.12] from New Edition aging
[01:03.22] I got families I'm feeding '
[01:05.15] cause my mans is bleeding
[01:06.53] Every five seconds look in all directions
[01:08.48] I come through prepared;
[01:10.15] I give 'em a call
[01:11.08] I'm close, bring them guns downstairs
[01:12.75] I gotta lay down the block,
[01:14.18]
[01:14.85] when the block is hot
[01:16.20]
[01:17.45] I gotta use my imagination,
[01:19.99] to change the situation
[01:22.17]
[01:22.88] I gotta lay down the block,
[01:24.77]
[01:25.46] when the block is hot (hold it down)
[01:28.43] I gotta use my imagination,
[01:29.99]
[01:30.71] to change the situation
[01:32.87] Uh, uh, it's beef week,
[01:34.03] Monday, murder
[01:35.13] Two niggaz dead, Tuesday
[01:36.69] Wednesday and Thursday is hearse-day
[01:38.38] Friday, somebody-gotta-die-day
[01:40.28] Saturday, put the gat away
[01:42.41] Chillin' wit your chick and a bag of haze
[01:44.86] Wonderin' how it's all gon' end
[01:46.65] and what type of way
[01:47.59] 'Cause Sunday back to gunplay
[01:49.11] Mo' shit start over nothin'
[01:50.61]
[01:51.21] And get finished quick 'cause
[01:52.31] the art of repercussion
[01:53.54]
[01:54.20] Yeah, I seen it, a G' going out indecent
[01:56.97] Takin' a plea agreement,
[01:58.15] thinkin' he secret
[01:59.34] Escape the crime scene,
[02:00.53] now you live straight like 9:15
[02:02.85] Then one-time intervene
[02:04.57] My man ain't like me sayin'
[02:05.65] I don't care if I die
[02:06.90] But the SIG Sauer on me now
[02:08.56] I'm scared to die
[02:09.53] You thinkin' the one
[02:10.55] I send to clap you be a shorty
[02:11.98] But he old school, holdin' a .38,
[02:13.56] he in his forties
[02:14.71] I gotta lay down the block,
[02:16.48]
[02:17.44] when the block is hot
[02:18.51]

[02:34.24]
[02:35.06] (I gotta...) Anytime brothers
[02:36.24] can't get jobs, then they rob
[02:38.40] A man rather die than
[02:39.38] live on his knees and starve
[02:41.14] Cops steady askin' your man what happened
[02:43.44] First he tell then he stop,
[02:44.56] like he not really rattin'
[02:46.15] Guess he not really
[02:46.88] in that casket from a sawed-off
[02:48.42]
[02:49.04] Listen,
[02:49.29] peep game from the brain of an all-star
[02:51.68] The rain hurt niggaz bones who been shot
[02:53.92] Metal pins in their leg,
[02:55.39] they walk with a limp-hop
[02:56.96] The streets lie,
[02:57.55] so you better be cautious
[02:59.15] Your man'll fry you plus,
[03:00.55] everybody talkin'
[03:01.49]
[03:02.16] A vet, a General,
[03:03.02] don't step where I walked in
[03:04.49] Make your own path,
[03:05.52] be a legend in your skin
[03:07.03] Make your own cash,
[03:07.86] don't stress what I'm forcin'
[03:09.38] Don't expect more
[03:09.93] when you put in less work than all them
[03:12.02]
[03:12.57] Queensbridge projects has taught him,
[03:14.71] and that's for life
[03:16.02] You heard me right, I got the block
[03:17.85]
[03:18.66] When the block is hot
[03:20.04]
[03:28.99] (When the block is hot)
[03:29.96]
[03:32.93] I gotta use my imagination,
[03:34.47]
[03:35.24] to change the situation
[03:37.06]
[03:37.87] I gotta hold down the block,
[03:39.59]
[03:40.46] when the block is hot
[03:41.64]
