HIP HOP
joell ortiz (feat. jadakiss & saigon) Lyrics

The hood's hot! (uh-huh, yeah) The hood's hot! (clap) The hood's hot! (oh, yeah) The hood's hot (yeah, yeah)
The streets are on fire with the intensity of the hip-hop scene as people show their appreciation.

Yo when I squirt the chrome the funeral home Gon' double they money this year off my work alone So cool with it, yet and still I'm old school with it Nobody gotta know who did it Two-thirds of the L.O., where the X at? Hoodie under the suit jacket, double-breast that I'm in the hood like scratch-offs, get them packs off Lame niggas cuffing them whack whores Use of the pick going back door, no more for the fake Just stand there and I'ma dish it back off Might lay it up, might not Niggas don't be in the wrong place cause it's me in the right spot I'm quite hot, y'all niggas is quite pop The record don't sell then I still got light rocks Like wearing Timbs with Nike socks And the lil' bit of money I did make I put it in light stocks
I'm a skilled artist, and when I release new music, people flock to it as if it were the only thing that mattered. I'm sly, never revealing who is responsible for the actions that take place, and have much respect for the old school hustle that set the game up. My plans are in place in every area of my life, and if I take a shot and don't score that's alright, cause my investments will keep me standing tall regardless of the outcome.

Yeah, how y'all doing out there (Jada what up nigga?) How y'all doing out there? (It's your boy Sheek Louch nigga) The hood's hot! (Thanks for inviting me on this track) The hood's hot!
We are confident in our proximity to the community as well, because at the end of the day, we’re just trying to give back to the folks who supported us. Our contributions to the scene are merely a reflection of how loved we are by the community.

Yo if my flow too tight, put the pressure on Watch the juice come out like I'm squeezing a Sprite Make big deals, get out on big bails Shit, your career about as short as Amil's (ha ha) Shit on niggaz like I had two tails (damn) With enough bars to open four jails If you don't know nigga, ask Madden How I play with the hammer, in Manhattan Shank up (yeah) niggas leak enough blood To fill a motherfucking H-2 tank up Get ya bank up (yeah) who you rank up Get off his dick and get you a brick (woo!) We done seen every John Woo flick So act like The Killer instead of some chick (bitch) Fuck a pimp cup, get a plastic one (no doubt) Put some 'gnac in that shit and go and get it done
I’m a force to be reckoned with; my skills are tight and my lyrics can make juice sweat from fruit. I make big deals and am surrounded by a crew that is always on the cutting edge of hip-hop culture. If you’re not familiar with me, you can always inquire with Madden because my skills are equivalent to a hammer in Manhattan. I’ll stick camouflaged with my gun in the streets and slaughter anyone who might stand in the way of success. I have a unique perspective on the creative process, and I stay true to myself, rather than trying to jock the style of others. We've seen every movie there is to see, so presently sitting around won’t do, instead of sipping on some cliche pimp cup, opt for a more modest vessel of liquor and go make things happen.

How why'all doin out there? (You know what they want right) How why'all doin out there? (They want that gangsta shit from us daddy) The hood's hot! (So let that shit hit you) The hood's hot!
We know what the people want from us - they are looking for that raw, gritty, unfiltered, gangsta shit - so that's what we give them. We’re confident in ourselves and in our music, so let it hit you like a hammer and ignite the scene.

Me and 'Kiss hot like lava (no doubt) We got sons in the game and we don't need Maury to know who the father If we don't know you, your bars ain't big enough (nah) You need a gimmick, go run around the block with Puff Get a Black Phone, rent some of Jigga's stuff I'm like T-Dub, you want to be dubbed (no doubt) I was there when a lil' nigga re'd up You ain't Willie, you just act G'd up
Me and 'Kiss are hot as lava and timeless in the industry, with enough skilled children to carry on the bloodline. But if we don't know you, and your rhymes aren’t up to par, then it won’t be enough for you to make a name for yourself - so just keep it moving until you find something that works. If you’re trying to find yourself in a crowded industry, it’s best to get guidance from veterans like P. Diddy and sample from the blueprint that is Jay-Z. I’m like T-Dub when it comes to accepting lesser artists, I sense anyone who is aiming to be labeled as a real one when they’re not. I’ve seen the low points in people's career paths and recently jumped on the bandwagon with others and quickly climbed to the top.

Yeah, uh, yo I branched out, so you can get the these In the glass seam bags you can pull the stamps out Nigga the champ's out, we don't rock loud colors We pop loud guns nigga to stand out You know what it is kid, your man got the money in his crib Then we goin' go in your man's house Double are D-Block nigga the camp's out Can't forget about Swizz, he blowing the amps out, what?
We’ve evolved our style to incorporate a range of aesthetics, and remain down with the ways of the streets, namely big guns and making it known that we're present. We're aware of the landscape and how it operates, and are keen on spotting those who have wealth in home stash houses - don't worry about a warrant we won't hesitate to smash the door open. We hold down D-Block and Swizz Beatz is with us every step of the way, with his beats inspiring us to take things to even further heights.
