Lyrics
0:04Yeah every hood's the same
0:07Every hood's the same come on
0:10They give us guns and drugs
0:12Then wonder why in the f**k we thugs
0:15They wanna count the slugs
0:17Then come around here and f**k with us
0:19With know
0:20They give us guns and drugs
0:21Then wonder why in the f**k we thugs
0:25They wanna count the slugs
0:26Then come around here and f**k with us
0:30I'm from the land of the gang bang
0:31Since I was little ain't a godd**n thang changed
0:35It's the same old saying
0:36Bush run s**t like Saddam Hussein
0:38I cock and aim clinically insane
0:41To deal with this bulls**t day-to-day
0:43If I sell some yay or smoke some hay
0:46You b***hes wanna throw me up in Pelican's Bay
0:48Call me an animal up in the system
0:51But who's the animal that built this prison
0:53Who's the animal that invented lower-livin'
0:55The projects thank God for Russell Simmons
0:59Thank God for Sugarhill
1:00I'm putting a different kind of steel up to my grill
1:03Y'all know what it is scared for your own kids
1:05How these ghetto n***as taken over showbiz
1:09They give us guns and drugs
1:10Then wonder why in the f**k we thugs
1:13They wanna count the slugs
1:15Then come around here and f**k with us
1:18They give us guns and drugs
1:20Then wonder why in the f**k we thugs
1:23They wanna count the slugs
1:24Then come around here and f**k with us
1:27It's boys in the hood it's toys in the hood
1:29Y'all wanna know why there's noise in the hood
1:31'Cause there's drugs in the hood thugs in the hood
1:34N***a killed a crip and a blood in the hood
1:36For real
1:37'Cause when n***as get tribal
1:39It's all about survival nobody liable
1:42I got caught by five-O
1:44Grandmama came to court with her Bible
1:47But when the judge hit the gavel
1:49Now I'm too far from my family to travel
1:51F**k
1:52I just came unraveled
1:54Socked the DA before I got gaffled
1:56Owned by CA state property
1:58Just like the year fifteen fifty three
2:01Looking for me a one-way ticket out
2:04Don't understand what's so hard to figure out
2:07They give us guns and drugs
2:08Then wonder why in the f**k we thugs
2:11They wanna count the slugs
2:13Then come around here and f**k with us
2:16They give us guns and drugs
2:18Then wonder why in the f**k we thugs
2:21They wanna count the slugs
2:23Then come around here and f**k with us
2:26I can't take the pressure
2:28Pulled the 4-4 up out the dresser
2:30Grabbed the weight up out the closet
2:32Po-po coming but I'm scared to toss it
2:35Y'all know what happened last time I lost it
2:37Can't tell you n***as what the f**kin' boss did
2:40D game got a n***a exhausted
2:42Gotta go for the plea bargain they offered
2:45Twenty years for what
2:47Breaking these laws that's so corrupt
2:49Taking these halls and fillin' them up
2:52Some powder keg s**t that's about to erupt
2:55Aye y'all I'm about to be stuck
2:57Until the year two thousand what the f**k
2:59In the hood don't press your luck
3:01'Cause these motherf**kers will set you up word up
3:05They give us guns and drugs
3:06Then wonder why in the f**k we thugs
3:10They wanna count the slugs
3:11Then come around here and f**k with us
3:13No no
3:14They give us guns and drugs
3:16Then wonder why in the f**k we thugs
