[Intro:]
|
Yeah.
|
Every hood's the same.
|
Every hood's the same.
|
Come on.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
They give us guns & drugs
|
Then wonder Why in the fuck We Thugs
|
They wanna count the slugs
|
Then come around here & fuck with us
|
They give us guns & drugs
|
Then wonder Why in the fuck We Thugs
|
They wanna count the slugs
|
Then come around here & fuck with us.
|
|
[Verse 1:]
|
I'm from the land of the gang bang
|
Since I was little, ain't a god damn thing changed
|
It's the same ol same
|
Bush run shit like Sadaam Hussien
|
I cock & 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 puttin' a different kind of steel up to my grill
|
Y'all know what it is, scared for your own kids
|
How these ghetto niggas taken over showbiz.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
They give us guns & drugs
|
Then wonder Why in the fuck We Thugs
|
They wanna count the slugs
|
Then come around here & fuck with us
|
They give us guns & drugs
|
Then wonder Why in the fuck We Thugs
|
They wanna count the slugs
|
Then come around here & fuck with us.
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
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 & a blood in the hood, for real
|
'Cause when niggas get tribal
|
It's all about survival, nobody liable
|
I got caught by 5 oh
|
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
|
Lookin' for me, a 1 way ticket out.
|
Don't understand, what's so hard to figure out?
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
They give us guns & drugs
|
Then wonder Why in the fuck We Thugs
|
They wanna count the slugs
|
Then come around here & fuck with us
|
They give us guns & drugs
|
Then wonder Why in the fuck We Thugs
|
They wanna count the slugs
|
Then come around here & fuck with us.
|
|
[Verse 3:]
|
Damn, I can't take the pressure
|
Pulled the .44 up out the dresser
|
Grabbed the weight up out the closet
|
Po-po comin' 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
|
The game got a nigga exhausted
|
Gotta go for the plea bargain they offered.
|
20 years for what?
|
Breakin' these laws that's so corrupt
|
Takin' these halls & fillin' 'em up
|
Some powder keg shit that's about to erupt
|
Hey 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 muthafuckers will set you up, word up.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
They give us guns & drugs
|
Then wonder Why in the fuck We Thugs
|
They wanna count the slugs
|
Then come around here & fuck with us
|
They give us guns & drugs
|
Then wonder Why in the fuck We Thugs
|
They wanna count the slugs
|
Then come around here & fuck with us.
|
|
[Outro:]
|
Every hood's the same. [3X]
|
Every hood's the same. [2X]
|
Stop trippin' on it.
|
Every hood's the same. [3X]
|
Every hood's the same. [2X]
