[2x]

Every time I do it I do it for my hood

And every time I do it I do it for yo hood

And every time I do it I do it for they hood

It's understood I do it for the hood



The streets love jeezy and I love 'em back

If I still had the work I'll front you a sack

It's all gravy still reaching wit my words

And make 'em feel good on the first and the third

Take you back when I was sixteen wits a bankroll

Posted on a corner like a light pole

They used to call us track stars

Before they even stopped we ran to dem cars

And everybody on the block got the same agenda

Hustle from January til the end of December

Wasn't smokin purple then it was more like bobby brown

On that hen straight dog got a nigga drinking brown (7/11 nigga you know)

You know 10 to 4 shake 'em up talk shit get my drink and let 'em go

Even when I'm on the road the gangstas stay in touch

Why you think they love me so much (ha ha!)



[Chorus]



I'm talking bout summertime cookouts and wintertime flights

It ain't nothing we hearing shots all night

Ford Taurus pulls up everybody run

White boys jump out pointing wit they guns (5-0, 5-0)

Ford Taurus leave everybody came back

Hope dem boyz didn't find my sack

Real recognize real I suppose

I guess that's why the gangstas be at all my shows

Got the deal nothing changed but my clothes

Still catch me in the jects fuckin wit dem hoes (projects!)

Like coo-coo cal

Lord I wish mad Lou could see me now

Wish gold mouth was there wish mailman was free

A lot of niggaz crossing over dog no not me

Closest I been in the commercial's when I watch TV

And everybody know I rep these streets faithfully



[Chorus]



Ford Taurus pull up everybody run

White boys jump out pointing wit they guns

Ford Taurus leave everybody came back

Hope dem boyz didn't find my sack



[Chorus]
