| Hey yo, spice | |
| What's goin on, man? | |
| I see five-o over there | |
| Is that five-o? | |
| [ spice 1 ] | |
| Same muthafuckas that beat my partner down last week | |
| But i ain't trippin, i got this 187 proof by my side | |
| It's finna be on | |
| [ d-wiz ] | |
| Is that right? | |
| [ spice 1 ] | |
| Yeah | |
| [ d-wiz ] | |
| But where you stayin at, man, what's goin on? | |
| [ spice 1 ] | |
| Same muthafuckin neighborhood, man | |
| Just tryin to get this shit off the ground | |
| This rap thing, you know? | |
| [ d-wiz ] | |
| Yeah, i heard that shit, man | |
| Let them niggas know what time it is | |
| [ spice 1 ] | |
| Yeah | |
| Check it | |
| [ verse 1 ] | |
| I like to walk around my hood, smokin dank a lot | |
| I see some brothers in the trees, is they slingin rocks? | |
| Runnin through a broken-down wooden fence | |
| A nigga didn't have brains cause he smoked sinse | |
| Or sess, or whatever you wanna call it | |
| He got the task on his ass, better haul it | |
| Fiends suckin up the crack in the backyard | |
| Dropped a pebble on the ground, now he's lookin hard | |
| Will he keep searchin or will he cease and just forget the hit? | |
| Or pull a jack move and let the nine click | |
| I'm in the cut, late night, about 12 o'clock | |
| I see some brothers bustin caps in a parking lot | |
| There go my homies rollin up in a black 'vette | |
| Nothin but the money for the paycheck | |
| "another day, another dead up in the alleyway" | |
| That's what the boys in the bay up in cali say | |
| The california life, task in the palm trees | |
| Brothers be clockin g's, slingin ki's | |
| Up in my neighborhood | |
| [ chorus: larry b. davis & bobby b. ross ] | |
| In my neighborhood | |
| (in my neighborhood) | |
| In my | |
| In my | |
| In my neighborhood | |
| In my neighborhood | |
| [ verse 2 ] | |
| Funk - is a part of my life | |
| It's the sound of the gangster spice | |
| Warning - check out the blast of a shotgun | |
| Nine muthafuckin millimeter, have one | |
| Or two or three or four | |
| Cause every brother in my hood is hardcore | |
| Boom-boom! to the death of a cop | |
| Pop-pop-pop! - see another one drop | |
| Crazy-ass nigga off the peppermint schnapps | |
| And now you wonder why young niggas sling hop? | |
| Never woulda thought i'd be a dealer of dope | |
| Niggas slingin and bangin and breakin necks and throats | |
| The spot, it was poppin, but yet the fuzz kept ridin my jock | |
| Tick-tock, i watch the clock, they flock | |
| See a undercover cop raise off the block | |
| That's how it is in the game of slingin rocks | |
| Cause on the tv they make it look real good | |
| But mr. rogers ain't got shit on my niggas up in the neighborhood | |
| [ chorus: larry b. davis & bobby b. ross ] | |
| In my neighborhood | |
| (in my neighborhood) | |
| In my | |
| In my | |
| In my neighborhood | |
| In my neighborhood | |
| [ verse 3 ] | |
| Welcome to the ghetto, although i call it my neighborhood | |
| Some people get out, but some people stay for good | |
| I see a dopefiend yellin he's a o.g. | |
| He scratched his head and started starin like he knows me | |
| I say, "what up, old man, i seen your face before" | |
| It was my homie's pops, shirt dirty, pants tore | |
| He had a 40 in his hand, left a little swallow | |
| He said, "young-ass nigga," and then he threw the bottle | |
| I ducked down, and i had to duck real fast | |
| Stepped two feet back, and then i banked his ass | |
| I started kickin and stompin my nigga's brains out | |
| I heard a bitch yell "freeze!" and runnin out the house | |
| It was his wife, and the bitch started bustin at me | |
| I can't believe this shit, this bitch is trigger-happy | |
| Pull out my nine, bust the bitch in the left titty | |
| That's how it is in a burned-out dopefiend city | |
| And now you're sayin i'm the nigga up to no good | |
| If gives a fuck if you're bush, you get jacked up in my neighborhood | |
| [ chorus: larry b. davis & bobby b. ross ] | |
| In my neighborhood | |
| (in my neighborhood) | |
| In my | |
| In my | |
| In my neighborhood | |
