The Hood lyrics

by

Jay Rock


[Chorus: J-Black]
People change, go insane (Yes, and they give up their lives)
For the name, fortune, fame (When they stay here)
Someone always gets paid off your pain, in the hood (In the hood)
In the hood that I live in

[Verse 1: Jay Rock]
Things just ain't the same for gangsters
Everyone's bangin' or wannabe bangers
Over-exaggerated by these rap singers
Won't recognition from hustlers that raised us
But don't want the consequence of gun battles and police chases
They don't want the hood life they want hood relations
Take my life and then false-advertise on radio stations
I been there, done that, lost a lotta homies over this sh*t
Seen my relatives buy crack
Get it off, buy back
Give an ounce to me just so I can hustle for me and my moms can eat
Dawg, I seen struggle where I live, it's hard to breathe
The mind's blind to the streets, make it hard to see
But I can't stop, won't stop
'Til y'all do stop getting payed off my pain
That's the backdrop

[Chorus: J-Black]
People change, go insane (Yes, and they give up their lives)
For the name, fortune, fame (When they stay here)
Someone always gets paid off your pain, in the hood (In the hood)
In the hood (that I live in)
[Verse 2: Jay Rock]
Drug dealers on the block, fiends looking for hard rock
n*ggas on the rooftop, choppers ain't afraid of coppers
They come through, they seeing them doctors
Put them in I.C.U
Get them hood rats poison ivy too
YGs on guns on bicycles
Vacant apartments gettin' boarded up from hustlers that want to harvest in 'em
Three days, same denim, same dice games played on the side of the building
Criminal lifestyles influence the minds of children
Nowadays anybody can play the victim
Stray bullets from Ks hit you while you chillin'
In the city of Watts, pay Hell a visit
n*ggas go on project livin'
And that's why I can't stop, won't stop
'Til y'all do stop getting payed off my pain
That's the backdrop

[Chorus: Jay Black]
People change, go insane (Yes, and they give up their lives)
For the name, fortune, fame (When they stay here)
Someone always gets paid off your pain, in the hood (In the hood)
In the hood that I live in

[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
Look, rose grass, Central, hold hands [?]
Give them a mouthful like the neighborhood dental
We demonstrate everything they pretend to
Be, the streets, lay down on the ground
And sleep
'Cause this my home like first base
Ballin' on the curb like a pitcher
Get the urge of a 187, [?] is takin' place
Shawty clear the space like the galaxy, have a see
Let me take you where the real n*ggas be
Like the letter after "A"
Want to roll? Let's see
Got to keep the D
Ego under the white tee
The [?] Boys, we dump the gun and just start runnin'
The ghetto chef will slit onion
Without culinary arts, will tear you apart
Can't stop, won't stop
'Til everybody stop
Payed off our pain
That's the backdrop
[Chorus: J-Black]
People change, go insane (Yes, and they give up their lives)
For the name, fortune, fame (When they stay here)
Someone always gets paid off your pain, in the hood (In the hood)
In the hood (that I live in)
It's a shame what takes place (It doesn't matter the time)
Made your trade, know the dress, know the language
Not a game, it's so off the chain in the hood (In the hood)
In the hood that I live in
This sh*t is (Dangerous)
So [?] (Dangerous)
These streets are (Dangerous)
This sh*t that we on is (Not a game)
It's (Dangerous)
Better believe in the hood (In the hood)
In the hood that I live in
