Bun B Feat. Jazze Pha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
So I suggest you don't come around here
Boy you know you ain't from around here
So stand clear, And ima tell you what it is
This is my block, "Lay Down"
This is my block, "Lay Down"

Whooaaa This is my black right here

This is my block, "Lay Down"
Ohaaaaaa We run things round here
Whooaaa This is my black right here
Well hold on now little buddy
Pump your breaks slow ya roll
Ease back on your throttle
Put your plans on hold
I don't care what ya sellin
Or care what ya sold
I don't know what they was tellin you or what you been told
This my block I got it locked down cold
And all dis right here this is under my control
I could really give a damn about the name on the sign
Cause as far as I'm concerned this is mine
You crossed the line playboy
You mide aswell make love to a mirror cause you playin with yourself
We raise hell, we go hard, don't make me bring the drama to ya momma front yard
This is my block
We run things round here
So I suggest you don't come round here
Boy you know you ain't from around here
So stand clear, And ima tell you what it is
This is my block, "Lay Down"
This is my block, "Lay Down"
This is my block, "Lay Down"
This is my block, "Lay Down"
Ohaaaaaa We run things round here
Whooaaa This is my black right here

This is my block, "Lay Down"
This is my block, "Lay Down"
This is my block, "Lay Down"
Ohaaaaaa We run things round here
Whooaaa This is my black right here
See you from outta town, so you don't know tha rules
Round here homie we don't suffer no fools
We don't play wit no kids unless we done made em
We don't talk to police unless we done paid em
It's a code in these streets, you better learn it
And we don't just give out respect, you gotta earn it
And we don't hustle cause we wanna, cause we have ta
God 1st, fam next, and all the rest after
We make money not the other way around
So don't you play around or we will lay you down
Coming from PA the town the land of the trill
Play your cards right or get yourself shuffled on tha real
This is my block
We run things round here
So I suggest you don't come round here
Boy you know you ain't from around here
So stand clear, And ima tell you what it is
This is my block, "Lay Down"
This is my block, "Lay Down"
This is my block, "Lay Down"
This is my block, "Lay Down"
Ohaaaaaa We run things round here
Whooaaa This is my black right here

Whooaaa This is my black right here
See this is my be-L-O-see-K
My Streets, and I got em on L-O-see-K
I walk around wit G-L-O-see-K
And ima keep it on see-O-see-K, Okay
I represent PA, the west to the east
And you don't wanna war everybody gotta a piece
You think its sweet. until you catch a cavity
And that heat'ell make yo ass defy gravity
So do tha math, connect the dots
See if you wanna do it to yourself or not
Don't get to close, cause you might get shot
Just do yourself a favor, get the fuck up out the spot
This is my Block
We run things round here
So I suggest you don't come round here
Boy you know you ain't from around here
So stand clear, And ima tell you what it is
This is my block, "Lay Down"
This is my block, "Lay Down"

This is my block, "Lay Down"
This is my block, "Lay Down"
Ohaaaaaa We run things round here
Whooaaa This is my black right here
In the song "My Block," Bun B and Jazze Pha stress the importance of respecting boundaries and staying in one's own lane. They assert that they run things in their block and that outsiders should not attempt to cross them. To make the point crystal clear, the chorus repeats that this is their block, and anyone who is not from around here should lay down. Moreover, the lyrics describe that the rules of the streets are different from the rest of society. Respect is not just given, but it must be earned, and people who violate the code will face severe consequences. Above all, the artists are proud of where they come from and want to protect and preserve its integrity.
The lyrics of the song are a reflection of the culture of hip hop and the forms of identity that it promotes. Hip hop music is often associated with the portrayal of a robust and rough lifestyle and the assertion of power and authority. The song reflects these themes by emphasizing the importance of community and the need to protect it from outsiders. The song also shows how hip hop artists utilize their lyrics to assert their relevance and contentiousness in society.
