    2. a vick, "i need the vick", ghost in heaven and hell

    3. to have the block "sewn"

    i think he meant Vick's, a product by the ppl that make vicks vapor rub or rubs on #2, now idk why, maybe it hints it in the song, but that's what i've taught now for a while

    1. "Pulling Someones Card"

    Means to call someones number or bluff...to clock what they are up too.
    Say you are suspicious of someone and you turn out to be correct...you pulled their card

    2. "The Vick"

    Not to sure but I know Cappadonna says it a lot...and on The Struggle he has a track Called "Season Of The Vick".
    I think it might mean "Victor" but then again it could mean "Victim"
    Cappadonna also says it on "Run" from "The Pillage"

    3. "Swen" To Have The Block "Swen"

    This means to have the block on "Lock" or "Lockdown" they talking about selling drugs >
    They own the block...they got it sewn.
    Masta Killa says it at the end of "High Price Small Reward" meaning it in a rap sense:

    "We Got It Sewn"

    PEACE

    Vick is another word for a robbery or heist that's all.
