Hood Mentality lyrics

by

Scarface


[Intro: Keith David]
The hood mentality is a crippling disease that attacks your nervous system
It makes you nervous of the system
Gangsters and hood rats are especially susceptible to this grown-stunting mentality
The hood is where I'm from, but it's not what I am
The hood is where I'm from, but it's not what I am

[Verse 1: Ice Cube]
f*ck school n*gga, I'mma be a dope dealer
I'mma be a killer, yep a urban guerrilla
I'mma stack scrilla, yeah buy me a villa
Sell a 5-0 to my auntie Priscilla
I don't give a f*ck that she look like "Thriller"
Hit that sh*t one more time and f*ck around and kill her
Cause I got the heart of a Pittsburgh Steeler
Black n*gga draped in gold, with a nine milla
Love money, love jail, love that penitentiary mail
Love the way these n*ggas smell, keep coming back, can't you tell?
Love to see my mama cry, love to see my babies struggle
Love to see my woman juggle nuts cause she got to hustle
I don't give a f*ck how my life go
Now I'm a slave man to this caveman without Geico
Everybody wanna call Michael a psycho
But he ain't never came through the hood with a rifle
Gunning n*ggas down cause they don't got the right clothes
Hit the wrong person cause we shoot just like hoes
First I was blood thirsty, Mister Mister Controversy
Now I wanna beg for mercy, should have took my ass to Berkeley
[Chorus]
If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality
How the f*ck we supposed to change our reality?
If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality
How the f*ck we supposed to change our reality?
If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality
How the f*ck we supposed to change our reality?
If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality
How the f*ck we supposed to change our reality?


[Verse 2: Ice Cube]
f*ck school n*gga, if I grow a little taller
Everybody tell me I'm gon' do it, I'm gon' be a baller
So f*ck that thinking, f*ck that thinking
f*ck them Lincolns, I want Franklins
Come back through here with my crew, I'm gon' have my own shoe
I'm gon' be that little fool coming in your living room
Starting point guard n*gga, fresh out of middle school
Either it's the NBA or it's the NFL
I don't know what else I can do to keep my ass up out of jail
I wanna be like Tiger Woods, swing that club, make you sick
(I wanna be like Pacman Jones), (I wanna be like Michael Vick)
I wanna be like Barry Bonds, (I wanna be like O.J. Simpson)
Leave this field, leave this prison
Tell you motherf*ckers where to kiss 'em
I wanna be all broke up, moving all old and slow
I wanna be a alcoholic just like Broadway Joe
I wanna be a sideshow, kinda like Iron Mike
Used to have a few Bentleys, now I just ride a bike
[Chorus]
If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality
How the f*ck we supposed to change our reality?
If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality
How the f*ck we supposed to change our reality?
If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality
How the f*ck we supposed to change our reality?
If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality
How the f*ck we supposed to change our reality?

[Verse 3: Ice Cube]
f*ck school n*gga, they ain't trying to educate me
All they give a f*ck is what I memorized lately
I'm gon' have to teach myself, clock that money, get that wealth
I wanna be like Santa Claus, I don't wanna be no f*cking elf
No kid left behind but he get the runaround
Can't you motherf*ckers see that they trying to dumb us down?
Don't trust the government, President is for sale
He don't give a f*ck about a n*gga, just a oil well
Sell crack, go to jail, bust a rap, go to hell
Do I got to sell my soul if I wanna go to Yale?
Go kiss Oprah's ass if you wanna be Gail
I'd rather have my ass kissed up in Bloomingdale
You can go be a pimp, you can go be a ho
But you only gon' get paid off what you know
If you don't know sh*t, then you can't work for me
Cause you read your first book in the penitentiary
[Chorus]
If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality
How the f*ck we supposed to change our reality?
If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality
How the f*ck we supposed to change our reality?
If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality
How the f*ck we supposed to change our reality?
If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality
How the f*ck we supposed to change our reality?
