Hood Took Me Under lyrics

I got another gang story to tell
Peep, about how a black n*gga was born in hell
And right then and there it's no hope
Cause a n*gga can't escape the gangs and the dope
Damn! And when its black on black, that makes it sh*tty
Can't survive in the Compton city
And fool thats bet
Cause when you grow up in the hood, you gots ta claim a set
Geah, Its not that you want to but you have to
Don't be a mark, cause n*ggas might laugh you
Straight off the mutherf*ckin block
Can't deal with bustas so they asses get clocked
Geah, who gives a f*ck about another
Only got love for my f*ckin gang brothers
Geah but I'm young so nobody would wonder
That the hood would take me under

(scratching: always strapped and eager to peel a cap
The hood done took me under.)

Now I'm a few ages older
Got hair on my nuts and I'm a little bit bolder
And puttin in work, I has to do my f*ckin part
I'm down for the hood and its planted in the heart
Fool. At school slappin on the girls asses
f*ck the white education so I skip a lot of classes
Cause ain't no teaching a n*gga white reality
Teach me the mutherf*ckin gang mentality
Pop pop pop, drops the sucker
If he's from another hood I gots ta shoot the mutherf*cker
Geah I'm in it to win it and can't quit
Fool, and ready die for this sh*t
One times can't fade the gang tuff
Puttin my foot in your ass to make times rough
I'm the neighbourhood terror but I never wondered
That the hood would take me under
Chorus:
+(police is hot, so I'm watching my back...)

I guess I'll watch my back cause n*ggas jivin'
Times heard this brother pulled a 187
Who I thought was my homie dropped the dime
So I gotta peel his cap with the nine
Fool, so if its on then its on, f*ck ya G
Because how the odds are looking, its either him or me
So I loads up the strap and I step
Cause my brain cells are dead and all I think is death
Revenge. That's what its all about
See the sucker, take the mutherf*cker out
Stare the fool down with the eye contact
He try to swing so I draw on him with the gatt
Blast was the sound that one times heard uh
n*gga 25 to live for the murder
Was it worth it I've always wondered
Maybe if the hood didn't take me under

Geah, this going out to all the n*ggas
It's going out to my n*ggas
Its going out to all the n*ggas
My n*gga Mike T
