|
[ 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 |

|
[ 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 |
|

|
[ 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 |

[ 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 ] |

[ 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 |
|
