Lyrics

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 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 Breathe 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 Watch your colours and Watch your slang Watch how your fingers Twist and change A lot of cats out here Ain't playin' A lot of cats here still Gang 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 Neighborhood Watch Neighborhood Watch Neighborhood Watch 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 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 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 Black Panthers Brown Berets We watched the Watchers And found a way I see it all like a Fly on the wall And that's real game So keep your eye on the ball 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 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 The Neighborhood Watch The Neighborhood Watch The Neighborhood Watch The Neighborhood Watch The Neighborhood Watch The Neighborhood Watch The Neighborhood Watch
