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

[00:00:18] 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

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

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

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

[00:00:35] South to east orange

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:56] Hangin' with predicates

[00:00:57] 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 'cause my mans is bleeding

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

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

[00:01:11] I'm close

[00:01:11] Bring them guns downstairs

[00:01:12] Uh

[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 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 the art of repercussion

[00:01:53] Yeah I seen it

[00:01:54] 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 915

[00:02:03] Then one time intervene

[00:02:04] I gotta lay

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

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

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

[00:02:12] But he old school

[00:02:13] Holdin' a 38

[00:02:14] He in his forties

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

[00:02:37] Then they rob

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

[00:02:45] Guess he not really in that casket from a sawed off

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

[00:02:51] The rain hurt ni***z 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'

[00:03:01] A vet

[00:03:02] A General

[00:03:02] 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

[00:03:08] Don't stress what I'm forcin'

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

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

[00:03:15] You heard me right

[00:03:16] I got the block

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

[00:03:29] 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 lay down the block

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

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

[00:03:45] To change the situation
