[Intro: Godemis]
You know the block stays hot sweating on it whether or not You've got Supportive local neighbourhood watch
Where the kids shank cops
Figuring it's part of the plot
It's gotta be because the sh** don't stop
[Verse 1: Godemis]
Where they blast on SWAT kicking in them doors ,locked
It's not funny
Stealing everything from clothes to rent money
And it's sunny as hell
People are broken, no, it doesn't take a dummy to tell
It was a motherf**ing cluck who needed something to sell
And made his getaway before the cops could jump him in jail
Oh well, you dummy up like you hadn't heard it before-
At 3 O'clock in the morning you shouldn't open your door
What the f** did you think a peep-hole was for?
‘Round this motherf**er it's jeepers-creepers galore
‘cus it could be who you didn't peep at the store
Who follows you to your building
Memorising your floors
And knowing your hours: 4 to 10
But on Saturday you get off at 8
And you normally drink the night away
Hoping for a brighter day but Sunday's f**ed
Plus you couldn't have seen it coming judging Monday's luck
No bucks to pay coppers to bust
So intuition's a must
Concealed carries all logic to us
But k**er Carrie's not logic enough, she caught a stray
And was just about to graduate from the police academy
[Chorus 1: Godemis]
The block stays hot sweating on it whether or not
You've got supportive local neighbourhood watch
Where the kids shank cops
Figuring it's part of the plot
It's gotta be because the sh** don't stop
[Verse 2: Ubiquitous]
Where they blast on SWAT come criminals splash on cops
Come and get it now, the last one in a rotten egg
Gla** smashed til' I'm jostled awake
I'm acting like I'm not awake still laughing the thought away
When I hear this dude say:
“I got cracked in my noggin
Hey, could you please open the door?
My head's open and sore
I live on the third floor
I've been robbed and attacked
I'm bleeding my skull's probably cracked
My keys, wallet and cash”
I let him in then told him I'd call the cops
He told me he had a problem with cash and then called it off
With his shirt stained, blood on his face I searched over his wounds
At the same time searching for something to say
He read the bad news in my eyes, felt the uncomfortable vibe
The paramedics arrived
The stairs, covered in crimes
Oh what a time! No joking the other day
Some dude hit a different neighbour with gas and he cut her face
Some people heard the screams came down to investigate
He bust a couple rounds off burnt out and escaped
And it happens from day to day
It ain't scary to me, sh** 8 out of 10 people I see are carrying weed
These nefarious thieves are put around me and prepare me to see society
So save your charity please
Red and blue lights, sirens - a hilarious scene
I've been sleeping through night violence coming and sharing a dream
[Chorus 2: Ubiquitous]
You see the block stays hot sweating on it whether or not You've got supportive local neighbourhood watch
Where the kids shank cops
Figuring it's part of the plot
It's gotta be because the sh** don't stop
[Verse 3: Joe Good]
Can we get a moment of silence for gunshots and violence
For all the soldiers whose fallen for all the families whose crying?
Peace to Mac Dre, Peace to Fat tone
And while we're saying peace we need some back home
KC Streets? Crazy like it's the 80's
And the block is feeling something like hades, I mean it's hot
In this spot Hell is boiling over, smell the aroma
Crack pot filled up with bad cops and lots of dough
That's where the war is on 400 years and strong
A trail of tears from here to the crib they brought us from
And it's still all the same and haul us off in chains
Slaves made to be pawns in what they call the game
Watching close ‘cus the folks are getting greedier
They blaming rap and attacking us in the media, like we to blame
But you and I know this ain't the case, up in this booth
Yo, I never feel a safer place
[Outro]
You know the block stays hot sweating on it whether or not You've got supportive local neighbourhood watch
Where the kids shank cops
Figuring it's part of the plot
It's gotta be because the sh** don't stop
Again when they blast on SWAT
Cesphiles. 168 murders. 1 year
Rest in peace Rawgizzle. What the deal yo?
The block hot
