From hood to hood, they see what`s hood and know who I be

I got the Yankee leanin` just sittin` over to browse
And the G four is just gettin` over the clouds
You can`t tell me that I ain`t, what`s up right now
I got a bottle of Tequila upside down
There`s some chicks wit boyfriends that are up tight now
`Cause they know the big dog had a pups like wow
I`m stuck in my city ways
Headin` overseas wit a zip of New York City`s haze
You rats can keep runnin` through your city`s maze
Until you get sprayed with the pesticide
I know you in that hole, you best to hide
Like the rest who tried, who went and testified
Of course your girl wanna slide over and be rubbed
And don`t mind taking rides over the G dubs
I ride Rovers on Spre dubs
Please don`t be another dude who died over a ski dub, chill

From hood to hood, they see what`s hood and know who I be
From block to block, they see it, not can`t know who I be
From state to state, they cannot hate, they know who I be
From the east to west, through the Midwest and down south it`s ghetto!
It`s ghetto! It`s ghetto! It`s ghetto! It`s ghetto!

I get it jumpin` like a lo lo six four
And bet they hop on it like a pogo stick pro
I`m chillin` wit these go go chicks though
That do the kinda things that belong in a porno flick yo
You know it`s him and the gang
Wit the bling worked on, that remind you of lemon meringue
But remember the thangs, ain`t too far
And y`all wanna hear `em go bang, bang, bang
Like John Witherspoon, I`m watchin` `em closely
I know the snakes goin` slither soon
The two toned Maybach`s gettin` delivered soon
The back feels like sittin` in the livin` room
I`m so hard bodied like the suit on Batman
It`s that man that back to back plat` scan
I`m back for the third time, I make words rhyme for a livin`
You probably heard I`m still ghetto, ni**a!

From hood to hood, they see what`s hood and know who I be
From block to block, they see it, not can`t know who I be
From state to state, they cannot hate, they know who I be
From the east to west, through the Midwest and down south it`s ghetto!
It`s ghetto! It`s ghetto! It`s ghetto! It`s ghetto!

They tried to put two nines on me, just like Gretzky
But my lawyer saw through it just like wet tees
I smoked till my eyes look just like Jet Li`s
On islands where the water`s blue just like Pepsi
Yeah, the trigger just might get squeezed
And the slugs will skip over your waves, just like jet skis
Hoes know ghetto from New York, call `em the Fresh Prince
And throw rose petals when I walk
They love how I came back hard like good blow
And I`m still a heart throb to a hood hoe
That`s what hood though, yes, I would know
That`s `cause I`m in the streets like manhole covers
Rims look like blades when a fan blow brother
I`m waitin` on a storm to land, roast others
The man no other, `cause I been in it
My time is money, y`all couldn`t buy ten minutes
I`m gon` catch up!

From hood to hood, they see what`s hood and know who I be
From block to block, they see it, not can`t know who I be
From state to state, they cannot hate, they know who I be
From the east to west, through the Midwest and down south it`s ghetto!
It`s ghetto! It`s ghetto! It`s ghetto! It`s ghetto!
