"Boys In The Hood" lyrics
(feat. Skarr Akbar)
Boys in the hood
Boys in the hood
Boys in the hood
Boys in the hood
Woke up on some new shit, yeah
I just copped a new whip, yeah
Wasn't 'sposed to get rich, yeah
Wasn't 'sposed to get shit
Cause I was just a
Boy from the hood
(Woke up on some new shit)
Boy from from the hood
(I just copped a new whip)
Boy from the hood
(Wasn't 'sposed to be rich)
Boys in the hood
(Wasn't 'sposed to be shit)
('Tryna be a king, mommy sittin' on my phone
Sick and tired of feelin' stuck at a place on my own)
Boy from the hood
(Woke up on some new shit)
Boy from from the hood
(I just copped a new whip)
Boy from the hood
(Wasn't 'sposed to be rich)
Boys in the hood
(Wasn't 'sposed to be shit)
Yo
Word to my mom, I'm a big deal
From the city where you don't make it until you get killed
Shit real, they be targeting niggas
The streets like chess, I play smarter than niggas
16 years old, lost my father to niggas
I just mind my own business, I ain't botherin' niggas
Cause they wouldn't post your song
But they wait until you gone
Just to put you on IG and market a nigga
(Talk to them niggas!)
You bought a watch but don't drop no gems, King!
Start a business don't buy no rims, King!
Be a leader, don't be like them, King!
Poppin' 'percies won't 'getchu M's, King!
Oh lord they violated
My city been in a bind lately
So I preach love to street thugs, and vibrate it
Copped that rolley, freeze it, and hydrate it
My minds greater than the time haters spent, and then missed in my hiatus
If it's no love, it's no truth and no honor
I know niggas that sold dope to they own momma
Know niggas that stole bread from their own brother
Girl watch who you fuck with no rubber
Okay
I just hope the sisters understood that
I'm just 'tryna help you out through them hood traps
Some niggas make it out and never look back
But that look whack
You know I did it for the
Boys in the hood
Boys in the hood
Boys in the hood
Boys in the hood
Woke up on some new shit, yeah
I just copped a new whip, yeah
Wasn't 'sposed to get rich, yeah
Wasn't 'sposed to get shit
Cause I was just a
Boy from the hood
(Woke up on some new shit)
Boy from from the hood
(I just copped a new whip)
Boy from the hood
(Wasn't 'sposed to be rich)
Boys in the hood
(Wasn't 'sposed to be shit)
('Tryna be a king, Mommy sittin' on my phone
Sick and tired of feelin' stuck at a place on my own)
Boy from the hood
(Woke up on some new shit)
Boy from from the hood
(I just copped a new whip)
Boy from the hood
(Wasn't 'sposed to be rich)
Boys in the hood
(Wasn't 'sposed to be shit)
When you survive everything that could've pulled you down
Was sposed to walk on water so I wouldn't drown
See I done been through hell and back
Walked away without a scratch
[?]
Since I survived I'm on some new shit
Same attitude, I'm hard to deal wit'
See my gratitude is at an altitude
To comprehend it, you'll need a space ship
See where I'm from they chase E with a 40 and go dumb
Or chase you up the street with a 40 until you slumped
Just pray you see the morning and rise up like the sun
I've seen so much murder my hearts become numb
One day tell momma I made it
More funerals than graduations
Gettin out is an obligation
Where they hate to congratulate him
I'm from the inner city ghetto where the gun shots echo
When you gotta move metal just to shine
Niggas turn cowboys with a .38 special
Them pistols a Patriot, throw bullets like Drew Bledsoe
In the hood you're forced to do better
Processed cream and butter to get the cheddar
10 toes down, stay focused and keep your head up
Cause any day you can see that red Jetta
Boys in the hood
Boys in the hood
Boys in the hood
Boys in the hood
Woke up on some new shit, yeah
I just copped a new whip, yeah
Wasn't 'sposed to get rich, yeah
Wasn't 'sposed to get shit
Cause I was just a
Boy from the hood
(Woke up on some new shit)
Boy from from the hood
(I just copped a new whip)
Boy from the hood
(Wasn't 'sposed to be rich)
Boys in the hood
(Wasn't 'sposed to be shit)
('Tryna be a king, Mommy sittin' on my phone
Sick and tired of feelin' stuck at a place on my own)
Boy from the hood
(Woke up on some new shit)
Boy from from the hood
(I just copped a new whip)
Boy from the hood
(Wasn't 'sposed to be rich)
Boys in the hood
(Wasn't 'sposed to be shit)
Boys in the hood
Boys in the hood
Boys in the hood
Woke up on some new shit, yeah
I just copped a new whip, yeah
Wasn't 'sposed to get rich, yeah
Wasn't 'sposed to get shit
Cause I was just a
Boy from the hood
(Woke up on some new shit)
Boy from from the hood
(I just copped a new whip)
Boy from the hood
(Wasn't 'sposed to be rich)
Boys in the hood
(Wasn't 'sposed to be shit)
