Life in the hood, (life in the hood)
|
Life in the hood, (yeah, just like a puzzle)
|
Life in the hood, (life in, life in the hood)
|
Life in the hood, is just like a puzzle
|
|
[Dresta]
|
Its like a jungle, sometimes
|
When you rhyme
|
The hood took you under
|
Niggas start to wonder
|
Why you missin all these summers
|
I ain't seen the streets
|
In like five or six weeks
|
Cos i'm back on the cell block
|
Lookin like i'm shell shocked
|
In and out
|
Down south, up north
|
I'm back back, forth and forth
|
I can't seem to keep my black ass outta dough
|
Cos i'm steady doin dirt
|
Put in work for the turf
|
I did a gang of killin
|
And still ain't learnt a damn thing
|
Except how to gang bang
|
Talk slang and shoot game
|
And now I think i'm the mack of the century
|
Cos I got this bitch runnin through the penatentiary
|
But never knowin she was hoe'ing in the hood, black
|
Till the day my homies say 'Dre that bitch a hoodrat'
|
But shoot the package on some nights
|
And i'm alright
|
Just another piece of the puzzle of my fucked up life
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Life in the hood is just like a puzzle (like a puzzle)
|
If in the game, your lookin for trouble (lookin for trouble)
|
|
[BG Knocc Out]
|
My life is like a puzzle
|
I thank god for everyday i'm seeing
|
Livin in the world cos i'm bout european
|
Bein, a young black male is like havin on
|
Some gaseline underwear bailin through hell
|
Cos we have no win that we can all see
|
Ask Rodney King, Michael J and Mike T
|
And what about OJ, I think its a set up
|
Pac you said it first but my nigga keep your head up
|
They don't wanna see another black man make it
|
And everything we get that look nice
|
They wanna take it
|
So make it, 187 on the po-lice
|
I'm tired of seein nigga's get stressed
|
And fucked with no grease
|
No peace, no justice
|
Motherfuck this
|
Live BG's doin dirt outta cuttless
|
The three strikes march
|
It didn't help the situation
|
All it did was increase the jail population
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
(Life in the hood is just like a puzzle)
|
Life in the hood is just like a puzzle
|
|
[Dresta]
|
My homies is a piece to my puzzle
|
I love they ass to death
|
But the more I look around
|
There ain't too many of us left
|
Survival of the fittest
|
And the strong don't survive
|
I can count more real niggas dead than alive
|
So niggas stop the talkin
|
Let that bullshit keep walkin
|
I'm tryin to get mine
|
So quit wasting my time
|
And if I had a dime for everytime I met a bitch
|
That I thought was the shit
|
My ass would be rich
|
But no, i'm broke
|
And bitches ain't a joke
|
Nigga you better check yo bitch, talkin shit
|
Will get that hoe smoked, (i'm down with you baby)
|
Bitch, don't even make a nigga start
|
Tryin to get inside my heart
|
So she can tear my life apart
|
I already got enough strain on my brain
|
Than to be busy worried about some busy ass dame
|
But game, recognise game with the Dresta
|
Fool, I thought you knew about the westside gangsta
|
|
[Chorus till fade]
