[Chorus:]

[Verse 1:]
16
I'm from the land of the gang bang
17
Since I was little, ain't a god damn thing changed
18
It's the same ol same
19
Bush run shit like Sadaam Hussien
20
I cock & aim, clinically insane
21
To deal with this bullshit day to day
22
If I sell some yay or smoke some hay
23
You bitches wanna throw me up in pelican's bay
24
Call me an animal up in the system.
25
But who's the animal that built this prison?
26
Who's the animal that invented lower livin'?
27
The projects, thank God for Russell Simmons
28
Thank God for Sugarhill
29
I'm puttin' a different kind of steel up to my grill
30
Y'all know what it is, scared for your own kids
31
How these ghetto niggas taken over showbiz.
32

41
[Verse 2:]
42
It's boys in the hood, it's toys in the hood
43
Y'all wanna know why there's noise in the hood
44
'Cause there's drugs in the hood, thugs in the hood
45
Nigga killed a crip & a blood in the hood, for real
46
'Cause when niggas get tribal
47
It's all about survival, nobody liable
48
I got caught by 5 oh
49
Grandmama came to court with her bible
50
But when the judge hit the gavel
51
Now I'm too far from my family to travel (Fuck)
52
I just came unraveled
53
Socked the D.A. before I got gaffled
54
Owned by C.A, State Property
55
Just like the year 1553
56
Lookin' for me, a 1 way ticket out.
57
Don't understand, what's so hard to figure out?
58
[Chorus:]
59
They give us guns & drugs
60
Then wonder Why in the fuck We Thugs
61
They wanna count the slugs
62
Then come around here & fuck with us
63
They give us guns & drugs
64
Then wonder Why in the fuck We Thugs
65
They wanna count the slugs
66
Then come around here & fuck with us.
67
[Verse 3:]
68
Damn, I can't take the pressure
69
Pulled the .44 up out the dresser
70
Grabbed the weight up out the closet
71
Po-po comin' but I'm scared to toss it
72
Y'all know what happened last time I lost it
73
Can't tell you niggas what the fuckin' boss did
74
The game got a nigga exhausted
75
Gotta go for the plea bargain they offered.
76
20 years for what?
77
Breakin' these laws that's so corrupt
78
Takin' these halls & fillin' 'em up
79
Some powder keg shit that's about to erupt
80
Hey y'all, I'm about to be stuck
81
Until the year 2000. What the fuck?
82
In the hood, don't press your luck
83
'Cause these muthafuckers will set you up, word up.
84
[Chorus:]
85
They give us guns & drugs
86
Then wonder Why in the fuck We Thugs
87
They wanna count the slugs
88
Then come around here & fuck with us
89
They give us guns & drugs
90
Then wonder Why in the fuck We Thugs
91
They wanna count the slugs
92
Then come around here & fuck with us.
93
[Outro:]
94
Every hood's the same. [3X]
95
Every hood's the same. [2X]
96
Stop trippin' on it.
97
Every hood's the same. [3X]
98
Every hood's the same. [2X]
