Uh-huh, huh, huh
(Woo, woo, woo, woo)
It's eleven o'clock, on the dot, I'm on the block
Ain't no time for no sleepin' or yawnin', or whatnot
Twelve running around creepin' and peepin' for the drop
We be moving with caution, the block is really hot
The block is hot, the block is (hot)
The block is hot, the block is (hot)
The block is hot, the block is (hot)
The block is hot, the block is (hot)
They tried to frisk me, want me (hot)
Incarcerated, I won't be (hot)
I run and hit the corner (hot)
I'm headed for the border (hot)
Mix the weed with water (hot)
Sold it to my auntie (hot)
Hungry, I can't be (hot)
So I sell it to my family
I hope they don't sing like they're tryna win a Grammy
I hope it ain't a act like they're tryna win a Emmy
I'm tryna get a nut, so I'm movin' like I'm Sandy
I'm livin' underwater, I don't know how I can breathe
Maybe it's a scuba diver air tank (air tank)
Maybe it's to do it when they say I can't (Say I can't)
Maybe it's they is what they say I ain't
But either way, I ain't takin' that bait
It's eleven o'clock, on the dot, I'm on the block
Ain't no time for no sleepin' or yawnin', or whatnot
Twelve running around creepin' and peepin' for the drop
We be moving with caution, the block is really hot
The block is hot, the block is (hot)
The block is hot, the block is (hot)
The block is hot, the block is (hot)
The block is hot, the block is
Really cold in the winter time
Cold in the summer
Cold when the wind blows
Cold like December, oh-yeah-yeah
It's gon' be cold anyway, anyway
The block's definition of hot, I be a simile
I know the definition of opp, that be the enemy
I seen a lot of brothers get popped, we pourin' Hennessy
And God forbid a nigga get locked, 'cause there ain't ten of me
Diez, buenos dias to senoritas
We movin' units by the kiosk for fly Adidas
Forever eatin' la comida, I pack a heater
We lurkin' just to catch you lackin', like we on Cheaters
Free us, R.I.P. us, long live us
We tried to grab the plate of what the crackers won't give us
Most of my niggas never had a Thanksgiving
So instead of givin' thanks, my niggas takin' what's given
You know what it is, set the city on fire
Girl, free the titty if you don't wear a wire
When it comes to paper, that's that shit that I require
When it comes to power, that's that shit that I desire
For real
It's eleven o'clock, on the dot, I'm on the block
Ain't no time for no sleepin' or yawnin', or whatnot
Twelve running around creepin' and peepin' for the drop
We be moving with caution, the block is really hot
The block is hot, the block is (hot)
The block is hot, the block is (hot)
The block is hot, the block is (hot)
The block is hot, the block is
Really cold in the winter time
Cold in the summer
Cold when the wind blows
Cold like December, oh-yeah-yeah-yeah
It's gon' be cold anyway, anyway
The song "Dog Food" by IDK is a reflection of the harsh and dangerous realities of life in the inner city. The lyrics speak of the desperation felt by those who live in poverty and resort to selling drugs as a means of survival. The singer of the song is hustling on the block, trying to make a living while evading the police and rival dealers. The block is described as "hot," which refers to the intense competition and danger of the drug trade, while the repeated line "the block is hot" could also be seen as a warning to stay vigilant and avoid trouble.
Throughout the song, IDK uses metaphors and wordplay to convey the struggles of life on the block. For example, he says that he's "livin' underwater," which could be a reference to feeling suffocated and trapped in the murky world of drug dealing. He also talks about mixing weed with water and selling it to his auntie, which could be a commentary on how those in poverty often have to resort to making do with what they have, even if it's not ideal.
Overall, "Dog Food" is a gritty and honest portrayal of life in the inner city, where survival often means doing whatever it takes to make ends meet, even if it means breaking the law.
