Lyrics

[00:04.73] Yeah
[00:06.63] Every hood's the same
[00:09.65] Come on
[00:09.93]
[00:11.32] They give us guns and drugs
[00:12.68] Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
[00:15.82] They wanna count the slugs
[00:17.76] Then come around here and fuck with us (Uh huh)
[00:20.80] They give us guns and drugs
[00:22.37] Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
[00:25.41] They wanna count the slugs
[00:27.25] Then come around here and fuck with us
[00:27.68]
[00:30.67] I'm from the land of the gang bang
[00:32.41] Since I was little, ain't a god damn thang changed
[00:34.91] It's the same ol same
[00:37.01] Bush run shit like Sadaam Hussien
[00:39.34] I cock and aim, clinically insane
[00:40.67] To deal with this bullshit day to day
[00:44.06] If I sell some yay or smoke some hay
[00:46.64] You bitches wanna throw me up in pelican's bay
[00:49.16] Call me an animal up in the system
[00:51.57] But who's the animal that built this prison
[00:54.52] Who's the animal that invented lower living
[00:56.41] The projects, thank god for Russell Simmons
[00:59.67] Thank god for Sugarhill
[01:01.30] I'm putting a different kind of steel up to my grill
[01:03.81] Y'all know what it is, scared for your own kids
[01:06.46] How these ghetto niggaz taken over showbiz
[01:07.30]
[01:08.02] They give us guns and drugs
[01:10.92] Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
[01:14.33] They wanna count the slugs
[01:16.05] Then come around here and fuck with us (Uh huh)
[01:19.11] They give us guns and drugs
[01:20.58] Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
[01:23.99] They wanna count the slugs
[01:25.43] Then come around here and fuck with us
[01:27.17]
[01:28.06] It's boyz in the hood, it's toys in the hood
[01:30.14] Y'all wanna know why there's noise in the hood
[01:32.61] Cause there's drugs in the hood, thugs in the hood
[01:36.12] Nigga killed a crip and a blood in the hood (For real)
[01:37.50] Cause when niggaz get tribal
[01:39.93] It's all about survival, nobody liable
[01:43.28] I got caught by five-oh
[01:45.17] Grandmama came to court with her Bible
[01:48.32] But when the judge hit the gavel
[01:49.82] Now I'm too far from my family to travel (Fuck)
[01:53.02] I just came unraveled
[01:54.77] Socked the D.A. before I got gaffled
[01:57.00] Owned by C.A, State Property
[01:59.51] Just like the year fifteen fifty three
[02:01.86] Looking for me, a one-way ticket out
[02:04.66] Don't understand, what's so hard to figure out?
[02:06.32]
[02:07.65] They give us guns and drugs
[02:08.94] Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
[02:12.33] They wanna count the slugs
[02:13.87] Then come around here and fuck with us (Uh huh)
[02:17.14] They give us guns and drugs
[02:18.76] Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
[02:22.19] They wanna count the slugs
[02:23.61] Then come around here and fuck with us
[02:24.86]
[02:26.34] (Damn) I can't take the pressure
[02:28.45] Pulled the fo-fo up out the dresser
[02:30.82] Grabbed the weight up out the closet
[02:32.17] Po-po coming but I'm scared to toss it
[02:35.75] Y'all know what happened last time I lost it
[02:38.10] Can't tell you niggaz what the fucking boss did
[02:41.07] The game got a nigga exhausted
[02:43.03] Gotta go for the plea bargain they offered
[02:46.66] Twenty years for what?
[02:47.86] Breaking these laws that's so corrupt
[02:50.28] Taking these halls and filling 'em up
[02:52.69] Some powder keg shit that's about to erupt
[02:55.95] Ay y'all, I'm about to be stuck
[02:57.56] Until the year two thousand, what the fuck?
[02:59.76] In the hood, don't press your luck
[03:02.38] Cause these motherfuckers will set you up, word up
[03:04.72]
[03:05.39] They give us guns and drugs
[03:07.09] Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
[03:10.72] They wanna count the slugs
[03:12.17] Then come around here and fuck with us (Uh huh)
[03:14.74] They give us guns and drugs
[03:17.01] Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
[03:20.42] They wanna count the slugs
[03:21.79] Then come around here and fuck with us
[03:23.50]
[03:25.49] Every hood's the same
[03:30.08] Every hood's the same
[03:33.34] Stop tripping on it
[03:34.89] Every hood's the same
[03:39.67] Every hood's the same
