Generate meaning
1
Yeah, yeah
2
Uhh, try to watch your neck
3
C'mon, growin up in the X
4
We used to play manhunt, and steal your bike
5
Fight off the older dudes who tried to steal your Nikes
6
Don't matter if you're outnumbered, still you fight
7
Put a nigga in the yoke, let him feel your bite
8
Livin in the devil's reach, fuckin girls on the roof
9
and call it Pebble Beach (yeah) and even though
10
we were kids, we still knew right from wrong
11
That's the premise, for me to even write this song
12
And laugh about who ran
13
Stick-up kids waitin outside of Jew-man (yeah)
14
And we idolized the neighborhood block stars
15
At night, throwin rocks at the cop cars
16
Shoot a fair one, you might get lumped
17
But fuck a fair one, you might get jumped
18
Knuckle up, or you might get chumped
19
Or in a car seat you might get slumped {*BLAM BLAM*}
20
Listen
21
"Shit is real!" "Growin up in the hood"
22
"Done some things bad, done some things good"
23
Yeah, I used to, run the streets but always got good grades
24
Reminiscin on this shit, blowin on good haze
25
We used to dumb shit, growin up in the 'jects
26
Gettin head at Yankee Stadium, up in the decks
27
You couldn't hop at one-sixty-first
28
And how we race each other, bettin who could push one-sixty first
29
It wasn't always like that
30
We was broke and my father always liked smack - what could you do?
31
So my moms did the best she could for dolo (yeah)
32
Workin in midtown for next to no dough
33
I know I put her through shit
34
So I'ma smile when I put her in the new six (yeah)
35
It's only right cause I know I used to be a mess
36
Did I deserve all the beatings or was it stress?
37
Cause I put a few kids up in the EMS
38
I laugh about it now, cruisin in the CMS
39
Yeah, it's all funny when I think back
40
Sippin Private Stock, but now I don't drink that (nope)
41
Now I'm into mango juice and crushed grapes (yes)
42
We used to fiend for them clear Cold Crush tapes (yes)
43
And I went from hoppin trains and snatchin links
44
To ridin around with bombshells in matchin minks
45
This is not rhethorical innuendo (yeah)
46
At house parties throwin leathers out the window, smarten up
47
I can tell you a dummy (uh-huh)
48
You look soft, niggaz sell you a dummy
49
You come back and get wrapped like a mummy (a mummy)
50
So you should always keep a pound by your tummy
51
And I posess a +Dangerous Mind+ like Phifer
52
From listenin to the Gods in the cipher
53
Seen a few dudes get a universal
54
There's cameras in the 'jects, live no commercial
55
Listen
56
{*scratching: "growin up in the hood" to end*}
