Yeah, every hood's the same

Every hood's the same, come on

They give us guns and drugs

Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs

They wanna count the slugs

Then come around here and fuck with us

They give us guns and drugs

Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs

They wanna count the slugs

Then come around here and fuck with us

I'm from the land of the gang bang

Since I was little, ain't a goddamn thang changed

It's the same old saying

Bush run shit like Saddam Hussein

I cock and aim, clinically insane

To deal with this bullshit day-to-day

If I sell some yay or smoke some hay

You bitches wanna throw me up in Pelican's Bay

Call me an animal up in the system

But who's the animal that built this prison?

Who's the animal that invented lower-livin'?

The projects, thank God for Russell Simmons

Thank God for Sugarhill

I'm putting a different kind of steel up to my grill

Y'all know what it is, scared for your own kids

It's boys in the hood, it's toys in the hood

Y'all wanna know why there's noise in the hood

'Cause there's drugs in the hood, thugs in the hood

Nigga killed a Crip and a Blood in the hood (forreal)

'Cause when niggas get tribal

It's all about survival, nobody liable

I got caught by Five-O

Grandmama came to court with her Bible

But when the judge hit the gavel

Now I'm too far from my family to travel (fuck)

I just came unraveled

Socked the D.A. before I got gaffled

Owned by C.A, State Property

Just like the year 1553

Looking for me, a one-way ticket out

Don't understand, what's so hard to figure out?

They give us guns and drugs

Damn, I can't take the pressure

Pulled the 4-4 up out the dresser

Grabbed the weight up out the closet

Po-po coming, but I'm scared to toss it

Y'all know what happened last time I lost it

Can't tell you niggas what the fuckin' boss did

D game got a nigga exhausted

Gotta go for the plea bargain they offered

20 years for what?

Breaking these laws, that's so corrupt

Taking these halls and fillin' them up

Some powder keg shit that's about to erupt

Aye, y'all, I'm about to be stuck

Until the year 2000-what the fuck?

In the hood, don't press your luck

'Cause these motherfuckers will set you up, word up

They give us guns and drugs

Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs

They wanna count the slugs

Every hood's the same, every hood's the same

Every hood's the same
