(I was raised in the hood)
|
Eastside Long Beach to be exact
|
(I was raised in the hood)
|
Where the grass is greener and the crips are much meaner
|
(We got ya, back, I was raised in the hood)
|
I'll never turn my back on the hood
|
(I was raised in the hood)
|
Yeah you can take me out the hood
|
But you can't take the hood up outta me
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
Raised by the gangstas, the generals, the thieves, the twins
|
Yeah I'm stealing niggas, please what you know bout that
|
I do it everytime, told em 1800 had em mixing it with lime (oh weee)
|
My life is like a movie, I was thuggin in the beach when I lit my first doobie
|
In the same city where I got my first piece of coochie
|
Where I sold my first dime, and I held my first uzi
|
Bitch, choose me, cause I'm going to the top
|
Rap or the rock, them hoes say I'm on bitch
|
Whenever will it stop
|
I was poppin' like it's on, slamming Chevy's up the block
|
East up, what it do though
|
Now I ride 2-door, the Porsche looking mean
|
Hella far from broke, the 40 won't choke plus a niggas still elope
|
Only cause I was raised in the hood
|
|
[Hook]
|
I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)
|
I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)
|
We got ya back
|
I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)
|
I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)
|
We got ya back
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Raised by the monsters the criminals
|
The G's, it was ? the niggas on the east
|
What you know bout that?
|
Snoopy in his prime, I'm a boss
|
I catch a nigga slippin' like moss
|
Ride with the realest , I've been on it since a young'n
|
It's 200 bitches in the function
|
Looking cool, you know it bitchy I'm rollin'
|
And I aint worried bout them niggas we patrolling the hood and the city
|
Rollin on that dilly
|
2 milly, 2 Bugatti's, call em Rozay and Diddy
|
Heart of the set, Homie I'm a vet
|
Lil nigga, keep ya clothes, ask around,
|

|
Hoes spillin' Nuvo, Doggy on his tip
|

|
Hella far from broke, the 40 won't choke plus a niggas still elope
|
Only cause I was raised in the hood
|
|
[Hook]
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
Raised by them hustlas them dealers on the block
|
It was plenty of them niggas on the spot
|
What you know bout that?
|
Turned up fully
|
The hood raised me, gang-banging made me a bully, ya dig
|
Burnt out and any party we at, you know it's turned out
|
The people talking the rumours
|
Now what you heard about?
|
How I spend 100 thou gettin' purped out
|
I'm strapped up, I keep a pistol for these suckers tryna act up
|
They know I'm famous like I won't get in the streets cuz
|
Like I don't come from the W, I'm a beast bru
|
What it do though, dickies for the dulo
|
Homie, you know skinny niggas sumo
|
Hella far from broke, the 40 won't choke plus a niggas still elope
|
Only cause I was raised in the hood
