Substantial - Neighborhood Watch lyrics

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 a** m**ms 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 sh**, 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 VERSE 3 (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!
