I gotta hold down the block, when the block is hot

I gotta use my imagination to change the situation
3
I gotta hold down the block, when the block is hot
4
I gotta use my imagination to change the situation
5
Yeah, Feds feast on street dons, look at their teeth showin'
6
Salivatin' at the mouth, South to East Orange
7
Keep pourin' that liquor, but **** don't sleep on it
8
You'll be givin' up your Jesus piece to your peeps to pawn it
9
For legal fees in the penal dorm
10
Screamin' on the horn with 'bout thirty years on your conscience
11
I'm watchin' brothers disappear, it's appallin'
12
Some dudes had just only a year of ballin'
13
Counter-intelligence found a strange evidence
14
(When the block is hot)
15
Still we behind the wheel with heat on us, hangin' with predicates
16
Position we placed in caves in, so they got us caged in
17
Ways spinnin' like Mike Bivens from New Edition aging
18
(I gotta, when the block is hot)
19
I got families I'm feeding 'cause my mans is bleeding
20
Every five seconds look in all directions
21
I come through prepared, I give 'em a call
22
I'm close, bring them guns downstairs
23
I gotta hold down the block, when the block is hot
24
I gotta use my imagination to change the situation
25
I gotta hold down the block, when the block is hot
26
I gotta use my imagination to change the situation
27
Uh, uh, it's beef week, Monday, murder
28
Two **** dead, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday is hearse-day
29
Friday, somebody-gotta-die-day, Saturday, put the gat away
30
Chillin' wit your chick and a bag of haze
31
Wonderin' how it's all gon' end and what type of way
32
'Cause Sunday back to gunplay
33
Mo' **** start over nothin'
34
And get finished quick 'cause the art of repercussion
35
Yeah, I seen it, a G' going out indecent
36
(When the block is hot)
37
Takin' a plea agreement, thinkin' he secret
38
Escape the crime scene, now you live straight like 9:15
39
Then one-time intervene
40
(I gotta hold)
41
My man ain't like me sayin' I don't care if I die
42
But the SIG Sauer on me now I'm scared to die
43
You thinkin' the one I send to clap you be a shorty
44
But he old school, holdin' a .38, he in his forties
45
I gotta hold down the block, when the block is hot
46
I gotta use my imagination to change the situation
47
I gotta hold down the block, when the block is hot
48
I gotta use my imagination to change the situation
49
(I gotta)
50
Anytime brothers can't get jobs, then they rob
51
(When the block is hot)
52
A man rather die than live on his knees and starve
53
Cops steady askin' your man what happened
54
First he tell then he stop, like he not really rattin'
55
Guess he not really in that casket from a sawed-off
56
(When the block is hot)
57
Listen, peep game from the brain of an all-star
58
The rain hurt **** bones who been shot
59
Metal pins in their leg, they walk with a limp-hop
60
The streets lie so you better be cautious
61
(When the block is hot)
62
Your man'll fry you plus, everybody talkin'
63
A vet, a General, don't step where I walked in
64
Make your own path, be a legend in your skin
65
(Hold down the block, when the block is hot)
66
Make your own cash, don't stress what I'm forcin'
67
Don't expect more when you put in less work than all them
68
Queens Bridge projects has taught him, and that's for life
69
You heard me right, I got the block
70
(When the block is hot)
71
When the block is hot
72
I gotta use my imagination to change the situation
73
I gotta hold down the block, when the block is hot
74
I gotta use my imagination to change the situation
75
I gotta hold down the block, when the block is hot
76
I gotta use my imagination, to change the situation
