They give us guns and drugs
Come on
Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
They give us guns and drugs
Every hood's the same
Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
They wanna count the slugs
Grandmama came to court with her bible
If I sell some yay or smoke some hay
Every hood's the same
In the hood, don't press your luck
I'm from the land of the gang bang
Some powder keg shit that's about to erupt
Po-po coming but I'm scared to toss it
Then come around here and fuck with us
They wanna count the slugs
Until the year two thousand, what the fuck?
But when the judge hit the gavel
Owned by C.A., state property
Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
Y'all know what it is, scared for your own kids
The game got a nigga exhausted
It's the same ole same
Ay y'all, I'm about to be stuck
Then come around here and fuck with us
They wanna count the slugs
Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
To deal with this bullshit day to day
Every hood's the same
Nigga killed a crip and a blood in the hood, for real
Twenty years for what?
'Cause when niggaz get tribal
Damn, I can't take the pressure
I just came unraveled
'Cause these motherfuckers will set you up, word up
Y'all wanna know why it's noise in the hood?
How these ghetto niggaz taken over showbiz
I'm putting a different kind of steel up to my grille
Just like the year fifteen fifty three
It's all about survival, nobody liable
Then come around here and fuck with us
Then come around here and fuck with us
Who's the animal that invented lower living?
'Cause there's drugs in the hood, thugs in the hood
Then come around here and fuck with us
They wanna count the slugs
Every hood's the same
Every hood's the same
They wanna count the slugs
Every hood's the same
Bush run shit like Saddam Hussein
Socked the D.A. before I got gaffled
Call me an animal up in the system
They give us guns and drugs
They give us guns and drugs
Pulled the forty-four up out the dresser
They wanna count the slugs
Taking these halls and fillin' 'em up
Breaking these laws that's so corrupt
Don't understand, what's so hard to figure out
Every hood's the same
Stop trippin' on it
Now I'm too far from my family to travel
Every hood's the same
I got caught by a five-o
Every hood's the same
They wanna count the slugs
They wanna count the slugs
Then come around here and fuck with us
They give us guns and drugs
Grabbed the weight up out the closet
It's Boyz in the Hood, it's toys in the hood
The projects, thank god for Russell Simmons
They give us guns and drugs
Thank god for Sugarhill
Gotta go for the plea bargain they offered
Y'all know what happened last time I lost it
But who's the animal that built this prison?
Since I was little, ain't a god damn thang changed
Then come around here and fuck with us
You bitches wanna throw me up in Pelican's Bay
Then come around here and fuck with us
Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
They give us guns and drugs
I cock and aim, clinically insane
They give us guns and drugs
Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
Looking for me, a one-way ticket out
Every hood's the same
Can't tell you niggaz what the fuckin' boss did
