Hold Do¨wn The Block - Nas

Lyrics

words to study

(feat. Mark B. Mayfield, LeRoi Moore)

[Chorus: Mark B. Mayfield]

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

I gotta use my imagination, to change the situation

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

I gotta use my imagination, to change the situation

[Verse 1: Nas]

Yea, Feds feast on street dons, look at their teeth showin'

Salivatin' at the mouth, South to East Orange

Keep pourin' that liquor, but nigga don't sleep on it

You'll be givin' up your Jesus piece to your peeps to pawn it

For legal fees in the penal dorm

Screamin' on the horn with 'bout thirty years on your conscience

I'm watchin' brothers disappear, it's appallin'

Some dudes had just only a year of ballin'

Counter-intelligence found a strange evidence (When the block is hot)

Still we behind the wheel with heat on us, hangin' with predicates

Position we placed in caves in, so they got us caged in

Ways spinnin' like Mike Bivens from New Edition aging (I gotta... When the

block is hot)

I got families I'm feeding 'cause my mans is bleeding

Every five seconds look in all directions

I come through prepared; I give 'em a call

I'm close, bring them guns downstairs

[Chorus: Mark B. Mayfield]

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

I gotta use my imagination, to change the situation

I gotta lay down the block, when the block is hot (hold it down)

I gotta use my imagination, to change the situation

[Verse 2: Nas]

Uh, uh, it's beef week, Monday, murder
