Why We Thugs

Lyrics

Yeah, every hood's the same
 Every hood's the same, come on
 They give us guns and drugs
 Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
 They wanna count the slugs
 Then come around here and fuck with us
 They give us guns and drugs
 Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
 They wanna count the slugs
 Then come around here and fuck with us
 I'm from the land of the gang bang
 Since I was little, ain't a goddamn thang changed
 It's the same old saying
 Bush run shit like Saddam Hussein
 I cock and aim, clinically insane
 To deal with this bullshit day-to-day
 If I sell some yay or smoke some hay
 You bitches wanna throw me up in Pelican's Bay
 Call me an animal up in the system
 But who's the animal that built this prison?
 Who's the animal that invented lower-livin'?
 The projects, thank God for Russell Simmons
 Thank God for Sugarhill
 I'm putting a different kind of steel up to my grill
 Y'all know what it is, scared for your own kids
 How these ghetto niggas taking over showbiz?
 They give us guns and drugs
 Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
 They wanna count the slugs
 Then come around here and fuck with us
 They give us guns and drugs
 Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
 They wanna count the slugs
 Then come around here and fuck with us
 It's boys in the hood, it's toys in the hood
 Y'all wanna know why there's noise in the hood
 'Cause there's drugs in the hood, thugs in the hood
 Nigga killed a Crip and a Blood in the hood (forreal)
 'Cause when niggas get tribal
 It's all about survival, nobody liable
 I got caught by Five-O
 Grandmama came to court with her Bible
 But when the judge hit the gavel
 Now I'm too far from my family to travel (fuck)
 I just came unraveled
 Socked the D.A. before I got gaffled
 Owned by C.A, State Property
 Just like the year 1553
 Looking for me, a one-way ticket out
 Don't understand, what's so hard to figure out?
 They give us guns and drugs
 Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
 They wanna count the slugs
 Then come around here and fuck with us
 They give us guns and drugs
 Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
 They wanna count the slugs
 Then come around here and fuck with us
 Damn, I can't take the pressure
 Pulled the 4-4 up out the dresser
 Grabbed the weight up out the closet
 Po-po coming, but I'm scared to toss it
 Y'all know what happened last time I lost it
 Can't tell you niggas what the fuckin' boss did
 D game got a nigga exhausted
 Gotta go for the plea bargain they offered
 20 years for what?
 Breaking these laws, that's so corrupt
 Taking these halls and fillin' them up
 Some powder keg shit that's about to erupt
 Aye, y'all, I'm about to be stuck
 Until the year 2000-what the fuck?
 In the hood, don't press your luck
 'Cause these motherfuckers will set you up, word up
 They give us guns and drugs
 Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
 They wanna count the slugs
 Then come around here and fuck with us
 They give us guns and drugs
 Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs
 They wanna count the slugs
 Then come around here and fuck with us
 Every hood's the same, every hood's the same
 Every hood's the same, every hood's the same
 Every hood's the same, stop trippin' on it
 Every hood's the same, every hood's the same
 Every hood's the same, every hood's the same
 Every hood's the same
