In My Hood

In My Hood
It's all about The Struggle for The Life We Live
What cha know, what cha know about that
What cha know, what cha know about that?
In My Hood
Don't get caught up in Your Hustle
Cause The Life you'll get
What cha know, what cha know about that
What cha know, what cha know about that?
In My Hood

Does it appear that cha Ghetto Life's a riddle?
Abandon it, ya stranded, Wife's a Widow
Demand it, take it for granted, give in or let it go
One might understand it, didn't know
It can make da Po' get doe
Uh-oh, Hit da floor, Get da door -Yo - Gotta get paid
Sellin' a Boulder to you know her now ya afraid
Of The Outcome Young Blood won't Come Out now
Cause Outcome P.D. in uniform lookin' for Malcolm
How can you remember?
No Thanksgiving or cooking dinner
Better forever Givin' Thanks
You had cheddar, Good-lookin' women
Tidings of great joy wit cha boys in December (yeah)
They rather you a Lend a Hand
Or offend a man to Hinder da Plan
For court cops knock for you
Told some members to rob Fort Knox ya thru
All because who wasn't makin' enough a day
Should you pay or suffer A I don't care what cha say

In My Hood
It's all about The Struggle for The Life We Live
What cha know, what cha know about that
What cha know, what cha know about that?
In My Hood
Don't get caught up in Your Hustle
Cause The Life you'll get
What cha know, what cha know about that
What cha know, what cha know about that?
In My Hood

How can they tell where ya coming from?
Look at cha son
And I ain't been where ya at
Who's on your back?
They can see you doin' somethin' dumb
Still havin' fun? (lookin' round)
And they don't even know ya black
Know da facts you came from God da crack
No job or shoes on ya feet
Either starve or Jack The Ripper for food da eat (ugh)
Throughout The Week, on The Streets
You wear rags when braggin'
You're Badder than Marilyn Manson
Grabbin' a gun because he's hungry
Nobody says, take this money from me
Son see never be a dummy
Or ever take anything 1 We
Can relate to not treated equal Me 2
When I'm around wit cha people
Put me down like an E Q
I beat you helpin' your partner win in pool
You'll turned around and drown um in a swimming pool
Should a been in school fool, I wasn't born yesterday
There's always a rougher way, I don't care what cha say

In My Hood
It's all about The Struggle for The Life We Live
What cha know, what cha know about that
What cha know, what cha know about that?
In My Hood
Don't get caught up in Your Hustle
Cause The Life you'll get
What cha know, what cha know about that
What cha know, what cha know about that?

What cha say O G
Is it impossible for you da get a J - O - B?
Before you got out da pen,
The 4 walls, was your best friend
After ya hafta depend on some X-Men
When you discover my brother
Nobody's helping out (out)
And ya mother won't love ya
Don't put yourself in doubt (no doubt)
Cause I'm about, to get rid of da Stereotype
Because Our Ghetto's Alright
This ain't some 'Here we go' hype
The Golden Rule
Do you know the sign? Don't be cruel
"Do Unto Others as you would have them Do unto you"
Huh This ain't New News, it's all about who's whose
Refuse loose if you don't choose Used Tools
Materialism is the least We say give
For really ya wisdom a be appreciated
All because a Love you kept in touch away
You did it in such a way
I don't care what cha say

In My Hood
It's all about The Struggle for The Life We Live
What cha know, what cha know about that
What cha know, what cha know about that?
In My Hood
Don't get caught up in Your Hustle
Cause The Life you'll get
What cha know, what cha know about that
What cha know, what cha know about that?
In My Hood

Recognize where you come from ugh
And don't forget where you been
In My Hood
Capitalize on who you come from ugh
Don't be a threat, Use a friend
In My Hood
Recognize where ya come from ugh
And don't forget where ya been
In My Hood
Capitalize on who you come from ugh
Don't be a threat, Use a friend

In My Hood
It's all about The Struggle for The Life We Live
What cha know, what cha know about that
What cha know, what cha know about that?
In My Hood
Don't get caught up in Your Hustle
Cause The Life You'll get
What cha know, what cha know about that
What cha know, what cha know about that?
In My Hood
