Neighborhood Watch - Substantial, Acem of Gods'Illa, The Other Guys

Yeah

Yeah

These are the people in my neighborhood

In my neighborhood, in my neigh-bor-hood!

These are the people in my neighborhood

In my neighborhood, in my neigh-bor-hood!

Yeah…

Algorythm what up?

Yeah!

HOOK

Things ain’t what they seem

You don’t know who to believe

From the preachers to thieves

You better (Watch out now!)

They wanna get what you got

Wanna be what they not

They don’t know when to stop

You better (Watch out now!)

Area’s on the rise

Want they slice of the pie

Got they eyes on the prize

You better (Watch out now!)

Say it one mo’gin

Better (Watch out now!)

VERSE 1 (SUBSTANTIAL)

Watch out for any half ass Muslims or a part-time Christian

Door-to-door Jehovah’s Witness on a mission

Watch out for that Carry-Out Cat (whoops) Carry-Out Chicken

Any club wit' a thug’s being carried out, listen

Little later couple slugs gon' be hurried out the clip

Watch as the party goers start to scurry out quick

Watch for clean lookin chicks, in a dirty outfit

With a big Adam’s apple and some hairy armpits

Better watch for them Rollas and them Scallywags

If you hit it hope you got a bag

For you end up in a body bag

Gas ain’t the only rate high around here

Oooh baby I like it raw but shit, not around here (whoa!)

Uh-uh, Uh-uh (no!)

Watch out, watch out (yo!)

Push-on, push-on (go!)

Watch out for the old lady watching from the window of her crib

Hardly see her out the house but she know everybody biz

HOOK

VERSE 2 (ACEM)

While you at it better watch that new face on strip

Saw you walking to that stash spot, you ain’t slick

Keep in my mind that the pretty young woman you with

Got some cousins that know about every dollar you get

While you looking, have u seen the ingredients there?

If they fry it, you gon buy it but we need healthcare

Watching all these little boys as they grow up scared

Never of another man but of being a man

But they watching entertainers so they changing their hair

To look like theirs, my neighborhood’s identity is no longer there

Done up and gentrified the streets we used to ride

Now that old popeyes is luxury highrises

So who u gon side wit?

The natives or intruders

No name on that bullet in the barrel of the shooter

Cameras on the corner watching everybody movements

I hope you watch your neighborhood the way they watching you

HOOK

(ACE) And the reason they ain’t watching, they blindfolded

Moving aimlessly, same direction they minds going

(SUB) It’s a shame to see them steady fallin' and not knowing

Hit rock bottom and find’em laid out top popped open

(ACEM) Like the heat won’t stop smoking, loved ones in dire need of sleep

They just laying on the sheets with their eyes opened

(SUB) Hoping things get better but the problem won’t stop growing

Difficult to carry the weight with both of your arms broken

(ACEM) Watch, cause they motives, ulterior, not spoken

The minute you’re not focused, they looking your plans over

(SUB) And leaving you ran over & left for dead

Try’na get ahead, on that quest for bread

(ACEM) Then they get it and realize, the things that it won’t buy

Life is a whole journey, they concerned with a joyride

(SUB) We watching at all times, from friends to foes

Novice to pros, this is how it goes, you better watch it!
