A parking lot where the Latin quarter stood
3rd Bass
For a herringbone hear the tune of the audio two
As the brothers try to spark
3rd Bass
Picture painted with the goals and the good
Listen to snaps, cuts by scoob and scrap
It's a stick-up, so why'd you interrupt?
Yo, they're makin' mills but what about the hood?
So don't label the hoods on appearances
3rd Bass
White gold, but no accounts in Swiss Banks
The portrait of an artist as a hood
3rd Bass
East St. Louis got crazy hoods
'Cause a lip is zipped, I paint pictures
But your ass won't know to the hotels
You never thought that a gangsta could talk sense
I used to meet your moms between the sheets
3rd Bass
3rd Bass
My discussion of impression ain't ignorance
Yo true indeed, Louisville
So such bust material cerebral
Whippin' home in the sunshine, fun time
But now you can't find
New Orleans, Seattle
So they dismiss this as vulgarity
Yo Pete man, yo where the hoods at Pete?
A landmark marked in the cranium
Milk was chillin' as I chilled in the back room
Hawkin' 50 Cent, puttin' heads to bed
3rd Bass
Memphis Tennesse Cleveland
I send surreal scenes where you never been
Hip-Hop star ski, the masters of ceremony
But now I bring it back in front of packed stadiums
Some perk without skills and push a pen
And once laughed and pointed at the university
Waitin' for dice to give the go ahead
Clubs like this that kept the music in the street
Philly, D.C
I seen your skins like to go to the motels
Took your papes out your pocket and just stood out
For a dollar crack heads armor-alled your wheels
Young strays, posted at the L.Q. on Friday's
Blew your blunts out you wings stuck up your ass
Gassed you up then slap you with my staff
3rd Bass
That reaches into every household in the country
A portrait, a self far from [Incomprehensible]
Torn up by the Kent, the Clark dark
Star child made all the hoes squeal
Three a.m. and it was off to the rooftop
3rd Bass
Yo the hoods is in Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx
North Carolina cannot forget about Atlanta
Think tanks once rolled on the city streets
3rd Bass
3rd Bass
Union square, to tear up the KRS tracks
Boostin' Houston got crazy hoods
Yo can't forget Newark New Jersey
But this artifice flipped, your beans is spent
From Detroit to mobile Alabama
True flam, flammin' words on wax discus
And the hoods are holdin' their joint and they're out
And pop rap couldn't get a dime to eat
A hundred and forty-fifth street, down on Lennox
The focus, the portrait of the artist as a hoods-up
3rd Bass
Money-makin' strong island
Universe is versus hoods prospectus
3rd Bass
Listenin' to his program
Portrait planned it back in the days
Daddy-O slipped me some 'cause my breath stank
3rd Bass
Ka-ka-cracked out, was hookin' property
Five a.m. it was the S and S
Yo, money-makin' Miami, Chicago
I'm eatin' cereal with spoons sippin' cepacol
Looked out, gave you three strikes, you struck out
We knocked boots and the boots got knocked
Pop shit with the 3rd, knock your fronts out
Oakland Compton watts wearin' the hoods
Hoods is up so skills is up
Shock master [Incomprehensible] got crazy hoods
