《Hold Down The Block》歌词

[00:00:00] Hold Down The Block - Nas (奈斯)

[00:00:10] I gotta lay down the block

[00:00:13] When the block is hot

[00:00:15] I gotta use my imagination

[00:00:17] To change the situation

[00:00:20] I gotta lay down the block

[00:00:23] When the block is hot

[00:00:25] I gotta use my imagination

[00:00:28] To change the situation

[00:00:30] Yea Feds feast on street dons

[00:00:32] Look at their teeth showin'

[00:00:34] Salivatin' at the mouth

[00:00:35] South to East Orange

[00:00:36] Keep pourin' that liquor

[00:00:38] But ni**a don't sleep on it

[00:00:39] You'll be givin' up your Jesus piece

[00:00:40] To your peeps to pawn it

[00:00:41] For legal fees in the penal dorm

[00:00:43] Screamin' on the horn with 'bout

[00:00:45] Thirty years on your conscience

[00:00:46] I'm watchin' brothers disappear

[00:00:48] It's appallin'

[00:00:49] Some dudes had just only a year of ballin'

[00:00:51] Counter-intelligence

[00:00:53] Found a strange evidence

[00:00:54] (When the block is hot)

[00:00:55] Still we behind the wheel with heat on us

[00:00:56] Hangin' with predicates

[00:00:58] Position we placed in caves in

[00:00:59] So they got us caged in

[00:01:00] Ways spinnin' like Mike Bivens

[00:01:02] From New Edition aging

[00:01:03] I got families I'm feeding '

[00:01:05] Cause my mans is bleeding

[00:01:06] Every five seconds look in all directions

[00:01:08] I come through prepared;

[00:01:10] I give 'em a call

[00:01:11] I'm close bring them guns downstairs

[00:01:12] I gotta lay down the block

[00:01:14] When the block is hot

[00:01:17] I gotta use my imagination

[00:01:19] To change the situation

[00:01:22] I gotta lay down the block

[00:01:25] When the block is hot (hold it down)

[00:01:28] I gotta use my imagination

[00:01:30] To change the situation

[00:01:32] Uh uh it's beef week

[00:01:34] Monday murder

[00:01:35] Two niggaz dead Tuesday

[00:01:36] Wednesday and Thursday is hearse-day

[00:01:38] Friday somebody-gotta-die-day

[00:01:40] Saturday put the gat away

[00:01:42] Chillin' wit your chick and a bag of haze

[00:01:44] Wonderin' how it's all gon' end

[00:01:46] And what type of way

[00:01:47] 'Cause Sunday back to gunplay

[00:01:49] Mo' sh*t start over nothin'

[00:01:51] And get finished quick 'cause

[00:01:52] The art of repercussion

[00:01:54] Yeah I seen it a G' going out indecent

[00:01:56] Takin' a plea agreement

[00:01:58] Thinkin' he secret

[00:01:59] Escape the crime scene

[00:02:00] Now you live straight like 9:15

[00:02:02] Then one-time intervene

[00:02:04] My man ain't like me sayin'

[00:02:05] I don't care if I die

[00:02:06] But the SIG Sauer on me now

[00:02:08] I'm scared to die

[00:02:09] You thinkin' the one

[00:02:10] I send to clap you be a shorty

[00:02:11] But he old school holdin' a 38

[00:02:13] He in his forties

[00:02:14] I gotta lay down the block

[00:02:17] When the block is hot

[00:02:19] I gotta use my imagination

[00:02:22] To change the situation

[00:02:25] I gotta lay down the block

[00:02:27] When the block is hot

[00:02:29] I gotta use my imagination

[00:02:32] To change the situation

[00:02:35] (I gotta ) Anytime brothers

[00:02:36] Can't get jobs then they rob

[00:02:38] A man rather die than

[00:02:39] Live on his knees and starve

[00:02:41] Cops steady askin' your man what happened

[00:02:43] First he tell then he stop

[00:02:44] Like he not really rattin'

[00:02:46] Guess he not really

[00:02:46] In that casket from a sawed-off

[00:02:49] Listen

[00:02:49] Peep game from the brain of an all-star

[00:02:51] The rain hurt niggaz bones who been shot

[00:02:53] Metal pins in their leg

[00:02:55] They walk with a limp-hop

[00:02:56] The streets lie

[00:02:57] So you better be cautious

[00:02:59] Your man'll fry you plus

[00:03:00] Everybody talkin'

[00:03:02] A vet a General

[00:03:03] Don't step where I walked in

[00:03:04] Make your own path

[00:03:05] Be a legend in your skin

[00:03:07] Make your own cash

[00:03:07] Don't stress what I'm forcin'

[00:03:09] Don't expect more

[00:03:09] When you put in less work than all them

[00:03:12] Queensbridge projects has taught him

[00:03:14] And that's for life

[00:03:16] You heard me right I got the block

[00:03:18] When the block is hot

[00:03:28] (When the block is hot)

[00:03:32] I gotta use my imagination

[00:03:35] To change the situation

[00:03:37] I gotta hold down the block

[00:03:40] When the block is hot

[00:03:42] I gotta use my imagination

[00:03:45] To change the situation

[00:03:48] I gotta hold down the block

[00:03:50] When the block is hot

[00:03:53] I gotta use my imagination
