[Max Minelli: talking]

Fa show doe

Say Hap, I wanna let 'em get a feel of my hood, though

Know what I'm talkin' bout?

Let's do dat..



[Background Voice-Sped up sample; sounds like a small child/woman.]

Ooh la la la

Baby I'm so high

I feel like I'm in Paradise

Your lovin' caught me by surprise

You make me say oooh...

aaah..

I just wanna be with you

Be With just and only you

You make me say (Now, now make it Bounce, bounce)

[continues throughout song]



[Max Minelli: talking]

Yeah. Bounce, bounce. In my hood

Yeah. Bounce, bounce. In my hood

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We be fuckin' the game up when we do it like this

I love the niggaz in my hood

Yeah, yeah. Know Wha'I'm talkin' bout?

Wan' take a walk though the hood with me?

Come on



[Verse One]

Come take a walk on the wild side, the nigga, foul side

They done shot up the corner, now none the children can go outside

That's how they actin'

Now holla when you bout some jackin'

Boys spillin' them guts and they tryin' to wipe it up with napkins

Back in the game it wasn't quite this tragic

Capture the magic, smokin' on somethin' up in traffic

I'm a step away from bein' psychopathic, tryin' to fall back

Beepin' the weedman, but he ain't never call back

I'm a lifetimer liftin' weights away from being cock strong

But don't let that get ya wrong, I know how to cock comb

I can make beef with ya, or make bread with ya

Duck a fed with ya

Say it with ya

Bust a head with ya

On the same block pops got the blues on

I'm a lil' homie done went to jail, but my shoes on

But I been hustlin' since I had Underoos on

Reppin' for my hood

I'm a fool 'till the tombstone, tombstone

In my hood



[Chorus part 1: x2]

Yeah, Yeah. In my hood

I love the thugs in my hood

I love the broads in my hood

I got much love for my hood



[Chorus part 2]

Yeah, Yeah. In my hood

Hah? Yeah. In my hood

In my hood

I got much love for my hood

Yeah, Yeah. In my hood

Uh, uh. In my hood

In my hood

I got much love for my hood



[Verse Two]

Say lil' man, let me tell ya what it feel like

What bein' real like

What grippin' wood wheel like

And packin' steel like

Then what duckin' the cops like

What bleedin' blocks like

What ridin' on chops like

And bein' out the box like

At the stoplight, not a worry in the world

Though we all grown up, we still boys and girls

I still hold my own

I'm well known, on a blow up phone

Makin' a deal with the Pope, tryin' to sew up Rome

I had to grow up wrong, but it's safe to say

I stayed focused and I came up in a major way

Pay attention to what you do and all the thangs you say

I ain't trippin', I'm just makin' sure everythangs okay

Countin' days

Think I'm a dog in a two-man cage

I'm on a whole nother page

Gettin' smarter with age

If you want to retaliate, let me be part of the rage

We went from watchin' cartoons to countin' war wounds

In my hood



[Chorus part 1: x2]



[Chorus part 2: x2]



[Verse Three]

Nowadays

Everybody wanna be hard and say they real with that

But catch a case and they don't know how to deal with that

Whatever happened to takin' your lick and takin' your trip

Scorin' all your work soft, then makin' it flip

Now niggaz tellin' on they homeboys, thinkin' they sick

You say you real nigga, be it, stop fakin' this shit

I got G, for niggaz growin' up on me

Smokin' too much weed then throwin' up in the street

A million and one ways to use thug in a sentence

Talkin' on the blow up phone with five thousand minutes

And it's, nothin' sick about hustlin' hard

And a nigga can't even pay you what you're chargin'

And who would I be, to rap about money, jewelry, and cars

And it be grown women ill and children out here starvin'

Still lookin' up to God and I'm hopin' he pardon

My ways, because I gotta get it on like Marvin

In my hood



[Chorus part 1: x2]



[Chorus part 2: x1]



[Just the voice x4]

Ooh la la la

Baby I'm so high

I feel like I'm in Paradise

Your lovin' caught me by surprise

You make me say oooh...

aaah...

I just wanna be with you

With just you and only you

You make me say
