Lock the block down 42k, lock it down

Down, down, down

What did a young **** do to make bread for his people

I can’t even say it on record

Remember when we was asleep in hotels and them bullets hit Q from the neck up

I ain’t gone talk about shit

On 38th, windows tinted

You couldn’t live my life two times over first time it’ll have you pissing

Like I ain’t put in all that (work)

Sorry granny I can’t do (church)

Couldn’t afford no real Jays back then I had to cover up holes in my (shirt)

Like we ain’t put shit in the (dirt)

And made it a trend to be (first)

Now they be like “42K you know the way and that block your (turf)”

So lock the block 42k, lock it down

Down, down, down

Cause I was delinquent, even as infant that couldn’t get what I see

Been on a mission, **** is tripping, let tell you who I be

The son of big billy (whewww)

Do it for my city (whewww)

All that gang shit ain’t inked on cause **** I got it in me

I’m from the East we playing for keeps

We spun in a jeep while ducking police

I ain’t them ****, them **** ain’t me

Them **** is weak, how can they compete

When I went through trouble you wouldn’t believe to get where I am and be what you see

I don’t give a damn bout who on the lease, my city go ham and keep telling me

So lock the block 42k, lock it down

Down, down, down
