[00:01.00] 作词 : Batson, Jones
[00:10.380] I gotta lay down the block,
[00:11.850]
[00:13.040] when the block is hot
[00:14.300]
[00:15.380] I gotta use my imagination,
[00:17.360]
[00:17.970] to change the situation
[00:19.480]
[00:20.670] I gotta lay down the block,
[00:22.510]
[00:23.330] when the block is hot
[00:24.550]
[00:25.820] I gotta use my imagination,
[00:27.710]
[00:28.390] to change the situation
[00:30.710] Yea, Feds feast on street dons,
[00:32.000] look at their teeth showin'
[00:34.000] Salivatin' at the mouth,
[00:35.490] South to East Orange
[00:36.700] Keep pourin' that liquor,
[00:38.010] but nigga don't sleep on it
[00:39.160] You'll be givin' up your Jesus piece
[00:40.690] to your peeps to pawn it
[00:41.850] For legal fees in the penal dorm
[00:43.620] Screamin' on the horn with 'bout
[00:45.310] thirty years on your conscience
[00:46.380] I'm watchin' brothers disappear,
[00:47.980]
[00:48.510] it's appallin'
[00:49.380] Some dudes had just only a year of ballin'
[00:51.850] Counter-intelligence
[00:52.150]
[00:53.020] found a strange evidence
[00:54.100] （When the block is hot）
[00:55.050] Still we behind the wheel with heat on us,
[00:56.920] hangin' with predicates
[00:58.100] Position we placed in caves in,
[00:59.380] so they got us caged in
[01:00.640] Ways spinnin' like Mike Bivens
[01:02.120] from New Edition aging
[01:03.220] I got families I'm feeding '
[01:05.150] cause my mans is bleeding
[01:06.530] Every five seconds look in all directions
[01:08.480] I come through prepared;
[01:10.150] I give 'em a call
[01:11.080] I'm close, bring them guns downstairs
[01:12.750] I gotta lay down the block,
[01:14.180]
[01:14.850] when the block is hot
[01:16.200]

[01:19.990] to change the situation
[01:22.170]
[01:22.880] I gotta lay down the block,
[01:24.770]
[01:25.460] when the block is hot （hold it down）
[01:28.430] I gotta use my imagination,
[01:29.990]
[01:30.710] to change the situation
[01:33.470] Uh, uh, it's beef week,
[01:34.630] Monday, murder

[01:39.880] Friday, somebody-gotta-die-day
[01:41.780] Saturday, put the gat away
[01:43.910] Chillin' wit your chick and a bag of haze
[01:46.360] Wonderin' how it's all gon' end
[01:48.150] and what type of way
[01:49.090] 'Cause Sunday back to gunplay
[01:50.610] Mo' shit start over nothin'
[01:52.110]
[01:52.710] And get finished quick 'cause
[01:53.810] the art of repercussion
[01:55.040]

[02:53.180] The rain hurt niggaz bones who been shot
[02:55.420] Metal pins in their leg,
[02:56.890] they walk with a limp-hop
[02:58.460] The streets lie,
[02:59.050] so you better be cautious

[03:07.020] be a legend in your skin
[03:08.530] Make your own cash,
[03:09.360] don't stress what I'm forcin'
[03:10.880] Don't expect more

[03:04.520] don' t step where I walked in
[03:05.990] Make your own path,
[03:07.020] be a legend in your skin
[03:08.530] Make your own cash,
[03:09.360] don' t stress what I' m forcin'
[03:10.880] Don' t expect more
[03:11.430] when you put in less work than all them
[03:13.520]
[03:14.070] Queensbridge projects has taught him,
[03:16.210] and that' s for life
[03:17.520] You heard me right, I got the block
[03:19.350]
[03:20.160] When the block is hot
[03:21.540]
[03:30.490] When the block is hot
[03:31.460]
[03:34.430] I gotta use my imagination,
[03:35.970]
[03:36.740] to change the situation
[03:38.560]
[03:39.370] I gotta hold down the block,
[03:41.090]
[03:41.960] when the block is hot
[03:43.140]
[03:44.490] I gotta use my imagination,
[03:46.310]
[03:47.160] to change the situation
[03:48.880]
[03:49.740] I gotta hold down the block,
[03:51.360]
[03:52.430] when the block is hot
[03:53.630]
[03:55.020] I gotta use my imagination,
Hold Down The Block Lyrics
