Hold Down The Block (Album Version (Edited)) - Nas[00:00:00]

Written by：Nasir Jones/Mark Batson[00:00:02]

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

When the block is hot[00:00:12]

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

To change the situation[00:00:18]

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[00:00:30]

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

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

Salivatin' at the mouth[00:00:33]

South to east orange[00:00:35]

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

But n**ga don't sleep on it[00:00:37]

You'll be givin' up your Jesus[00:00:38]

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

For legal fees in the penal dorm[00:00:42]

Screamin' on the horn with 'bout thirty years on your conscience[00:00:43]

I'm watchin' brothers disappear it's appallin'[00:00:47]

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

Counter intelligence found a strange evidence[00:00:52]

Still we behind the wheel with heat on us[00:00:54]

Hangin' with predicates[00:00:56]

Position we placed in caves in[00:00:57]

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 'cause my mans is bleeding[00:01:03]

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

I come through prepared I give 'em a call[00:01:08]

I'm close[00:01:11]

Bring them guns downstairs[00:01:11]

Uh[00:01:12]

Uh[00:01:13]

It's beef week monday murder[00:01:33]

Two is 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 and what type of way[00:01:44]

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

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

And get finished quick 'cause the art of repercussion[00:01:51]

Yeah I seen it[00:01:53]

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 915[00:02:00]

Then one time intervene[00:02:03]

I gotta lay[00:02:04]

My man ain't like me sayin' I don't care if I die[00:02:04]

But the sig sauer on me now I'm scared to die[00:02:07]

You thinkin' the one I send to clap you be a shorty[00:02:09]

But he old school[00:02:12]

Holdin' a 38[00:02:13]

He in his forties[00:02:14]

Anytime brothers can't get jobs[00:02:35]

Then they rob[00:02:37]

A man rather die than live on his knees and starve[00:02:38]

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 in that casket from a sawed off[00:02:45]

Listen peep game from the brain of an all star[00:02:48]

The rain hurt ni***z 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[00:03:01]

A General[00:03:02]

Don't step where I walked in[00:03:02]

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'[00:03:08]

Don't expect more when you put in less work than all them[00:03:09]

Queensbridge projects has taught him and that's for life[00:03:12]

You heard me right[00:03:15]

I got the block[00:03:16]

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

When the block is hot[00:03:29]

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

To change the situation[00:03:35]

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

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

I gotta use my imagination[00:03:43]

To change the situation[00:03:45]
