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

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

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

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

To change the situation[00:00:17]

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

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

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

To change the situation[00:00:28]

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

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

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

South to East Orange[00:00:35]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Counter-intelligence[00:00:51]

Found a strange evidence[00:00:53]

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

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

Hangin' with predicates[00:00:56]

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

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

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

From New Edition aging[00:01:02]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To change the situation[00:01:19]

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

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

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

To change the situation[00:01:30]

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

Monday murder[00:01:34]

Two niggaz dead Tuesday[00:01:35]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The art of repercussion[00:01:52]

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

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

Thinkin' he secret[00:01:58]

Escape the crime scene [00:01:59]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He in his forties[00:02:13]

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

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

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

To change the situation[00:02:22]

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

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

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

To change the situation[00:02:32]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Guess he not really[00:02:46]

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

Listen [00:02:49]

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

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

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

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

The streets lie [00:02:56]

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

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

Everybody talkin'[00:03:00]

A vet a General [00:03:02]

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

Make your own path [00:03:04]

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

Make your own cash [00:03:07]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To change the situation[00:03:35]

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

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

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

To change the situation[00:03:45]

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

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

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