1
[Chorus]
2
When you grow up in my hood
3
Help don't show up in my hood
4
Gang signs go up in my hood, just 'cause you in..my..hood
5
Feel like I'm trapped in my hood
6
Young kids get clapped in my hood
7
That's why I'm strapped in my hood, just 'cause you in..my..hood
8
In..my..hood, in my hood, in my hood
9
[Verse 1: Fabolous]
10
I'm always close to..
11
Feeling like a corner stander, stoop sitter, or hallway post-er
12
No matter where I go it's always 'posed to, feel just like I'm (in my hood)
13
Cops drive in it every 5 minutes, look at your faces, pat your waists'
14
Try to find the stash where the gats and base is, I can't say that they racist
15
But I know.. it ain't the same in they town
16
And as fucked up as it may sound (in my hood)
17
It's 2 ways to make it happen off the streets
18
Balling on the courts or rapping off the beats
19
You hear the shells tappin' off the 'crete, when they clappin' off the heat
20
Then the yellow tape's trappin off the street
21
But that's the way we was raised
22
Preying to God, hoping that he keep us out the way of them strays
23
[Chorus]
24
[Verse 2: Fabolous]
25
They drink 'til the cups dry, eat 'til the plate's clean
26
Niggaz be in state greens 'fore they turn 18
27
'Round here you never let the beef slide twice
28
Everybody raised on 4 wings and beef fried rice
29
Them mothers are getting younger today
30
Got one by the hand, one in the stroller and one on the way
31
We don't have role models
32
But we got them handguns that hold hollows (in my hood)
33
Ain't no diplomas or degrees
34
But you can get high from the aroma of the trees (in my hood)
35
I know it like navigation, and fuck having patience
36
I'ma get mine, you better get yours, 'cause everyday is a struggle
37
And One-Time ride through everyday just to bug you
38
That's how it is, 'cause your rights be wrong
39
And everybody got a white T on, when you're in..my..hood
40
[Chorus]
41
[Verse 3: Fab]
42
We try to make the most of what we got
43
You either been hit, or been close to gettin shot (in my hood)
44
Any nigga that boast be getting got
45
And dopeheads fiend to get a dose of what we got
46
And young niggaz be like they slow
47
But you give them a blunt..bet they roll the weed like a pro
48
If you trick it's not a problem it gets you laid
49
But if you stick without a condom, it gets you AIDS
50
No Sesame Street, kids watch BET
51
Look up to niggaz that don't got a GED
52
I know a dude with the deadbeat tag
53
Kids don't got diapers but he ridin' in the red G-Wag'
54
In the hood, you and your beef is sure to bump heads
55
And everybody grew up sleepin on bunk beds
56
They telling me to vote..and I would
57
If it made a change in my hood..mu'fucka.
58
[Chorus]
59
[Fab talks 'til the end]
