[Intro: Evidence] + (Iriscience) |
|
The neighborhood watch (Is jewels and spots) |
|
It's mine and yours (Let's guard the block) |
|
This ain't the cops (It's the neighborhood watch) |
|
It's mine and yours |
|
[Verse 1: Evidence] |
|
When I was young the neighborhood watched |
|
Us get down on a cardboard box in vacant lots |
|
Well down on Venice Beach, you had to jet before dark |
|
The freaks come out at night to spark |
|
Write with my right, bat with my left hand |
|
Hearing of a blind cat, vision of a deaf man |
|
Breath through my eyelids, my flow keeps my teeth white |
|
Half B-boy, half Z-boy, the street lights watch |
|
The neighborhood watch it is jewels and spots |
|
It's mine and yours, Let's guard the block |
|
This ain't the cops, It's the neighborhood watch |
|
It's mine and yours, Let's guard the block |
|
[Verse 2: Iriscience] |
|
Watch your colours and watch your slang |
|
Watch how your fingers twist and change |
|
Alot of cats out here ain't playin' |
|
Alot of cats here still can't bang |
|
Me? I don't bang, I rock the good rhymes |
|
The whole scenery reminding me I should rhyme |
|
And not floss but invest in mine |
|
And hope it never comes to the best in nine |
|
But hey, the neighborhood watch guard the block |
|
Watch for criminals and watch for cops |
|
It ain't gon' stop, it's the neighborhood watch |
|
Watch for criminals and watch for cops |
|

|
Neighborhood watch (x4) |
|
[Evidence] |
|
Protect your own, protect your home |
|
Respect the hustle and set the tone |
|
Entertain but drop gems mostly |
|
Like, don't covet your neighbour but watch him closely |
|
[Iriscience] |
|
Closed circuit, checking the street |
|
Between blessing the beat and stressing to eat |
|
Between my first breath and resting in peace |
|
Between keeping the peace and arresting police |
|
[Evidence] |
|
The eyes have it, once again it's your Peoples |
|
Blacked out your tinted windows, we still see you |
|
The streets is breathing, the streets is watching |
|
The streets start trends and end them - be cautious |
|
[Iriscience] |
|
Black Panthers, Brown Berets |
|
We watched the watchers and found a way |
|
I see it all like a fly on the wall |
|
And thats real gay, so keep your eye on the ball |
|
[Evidence] |
|
The neighborhood watch is jewels and spots |
|
It's mine and yours, let's guard the block |
|
This ain't the cops, It's the neighborhood watch |
|
It's mine and yours, let's guard the block |
|
[Iriscience] |
|
The neighborhood watch, guard the block |
|
Watch for criminals and watch for cops |
|
It ain't gon' stop, it's the neighborhood watch |
|
Watch for criminals and watch for cops |
