(I was raised in the hood)

Eastside Long Beach to be exact

(I was raised in the hood)

Where the grass is greener and the crips are much meaner

(We got ya, back, I was raised in the hood)

I'll never turn my back on the hood

(I was raised in the hood)

Yeah you can take me out the hood

But you can't take the hood up outta me



[Verse 1]

Raised by the gangstas, the generals, the thieves, the twins

Yeah I'm stealing niggas, please what you know bout that

I do it everytime, told em 1800 had em mixing it with lime (oh weee)

My life is like a movie, I was thuggin in the beach when I lit my first doobie

In the same city where I got my first piece of coochie

Where I sold my first dime, and I held my first uzi

Bitch, choose me, cause I'm going to the top

Rap or the rock, them hoes say I'm on bitch

Whenever will it stop

I was poppin' like it's on, slamming Chevy's up the block

East up, what it do though

Now I ride 2-door, the Porsche looking mean

Hella far from broke, the 40 won't choke plus a niggas still elope

Only cause I was raised in the hood



[Hook]

I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)

I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)

We got ya back

I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)

I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)

We got ya back



[Verse 2]

Raised by the monsters the criminals

The G's, it was ? the niggas on the east

What you know bout that?

Snoopy in his prime, I'm a boss

I catch a nigga slippin' like moss

Ride with the realest , I've been on it since a young'n

It's 200 bitches in the function

Looking cool, you know it bitchy I'm rollin'

And I aint worried bout them niggas we patrolling the hood and the city

Rollin on that dilly

2 milly, 2 Bugatti's, call em Rozay and Diddy

Heart of the set, Homie I'm a vet

Lil nigga, keep ya clothes, ask around,

I'm a rep, East up, what it do though

Hoes spillin' Nuvo, Doggy on his tip

I threw up the two O

Hella far from broke, the 40 won't choke plus a niggas still elope

Only cause I was raised in the hood



[Hook]



[Verse 3]

Raised by them hustlas them dealers on the block

It was plenty of them niggas on the spot

What you know bout that?

Turned up fully

The hood raised me, gang-banging made me a bully, ya dig

Burnt out and any party we at, you know it's turned out

The people talking the rumours

Now what you heard about?

How I spend 100 thou gettin' purped out

I'm strapped up, I keep a pistol for these suckers tryna act up

They know I'm famous like I won't get in the streets cuz

Like I don't come from the W, I'm a beast bru

What it do though, dickies for the dulo

Homie, you know skinny niggas sumo

Hella far from broke, the 40 won't choke plus a niggas still elope

Only cause I was raised in the hood



[Hook]
