[Verse 1]

Put me off in any hood, I bet chu' I'ma survive

365 reasons to stay alive

In this jungle, lies be the king of these streets

But even the lies be runnin' from the crooked police

It ain't no peace cause they got the hood split up in sections

Violate the wronge set and they comin' with techs

There ain't no questions be asked, no bullies gettin' mad

Just killers on a task, and units bein' blast

With no remorse, I done seen it plenty of times

So I take it to my room and write plenty of rhymes

About the dirty game, thangs ain't the same no mo'

They try to stick together, just ain't what they claim no mo'

So hit the floor when they hit the door, give up them sacks

Everybody's got a posse so they robbin' in packs

On the attack and they keep gun runnin' like wood

And respect is something that chu' gotta earn in the hood



[Hook]

It's all good in my neighborhood

We out hustlin' doin' thangs y'all wish y'all could

We in this game, gettin' money and we livin' good

Stayin' real to the end like we know we should

It's all good



[Verse 2]

It's all about the money, gettin' paid is an every day job

And we connected, makin' moves like a heavyweight mob

And well respected, the hood is gonna make you or break you

And livin' and learnin' through all the drama that it'll take you

Keep you focused on reality, deep in the thoughts

Tryin' to count for every penny that you keep in the vault

So keep your yoks and still watch ya back

Cause in the hood your own friends will be the one to jack

Knowin' crosses is comin' throughout my whole nature

Takin' losses and dealin' with all this play hation

Steady chasin' that cheese and hangin' out with G's

Fuck what cha' sayin' bout gankin' and doin' robberies

I'm just tryin' to survive and keep myself alive

See I'm all about hustlin' can't work no 9 to 5

I'm stay thuggish not ruggish off in that hood

Steady tryin' to maintain and keep the paper good



[Hook x2]



[Verse 3]

You gotta watch ya back cause them killers be havin' jacks

They travel in packs and they quick to pull them gats

Ain't no time for negotiatin'

Just give up for good, look at the occupation

I run in numbers before the drama even kicks off

Duckin' and dodgin' from all them shots they done let off

I see it all the time in my neighborhood

Robbin' murder and madness but still the paper's good

I keep my mind on money and block out the pain

Ya see depression, deprivin' can drive ya mind insane

I'm trapped in this game and it ain't one way out

I strugglin' and strivin' to keep my pockets stout

See I'm tryin' to stay Southern, ain't no love for cowards

On the block steady hustlin' and don't cha' doubt us

I'm always down for my hood like I know I should

Gettin' plenty of money like I knew I could



[Hook x2]
