Ice Cube
Boyz-N-The-Hood (Clean)
[Verse 1]
Cruisin' down the street in my 6-4
Jockin' the freaks, clockin' the dough
Went to the park to get the scoop
Knuckle-heads out there cold-shootin' some hoops
A car pulls up, who can it be?
A fresh El Camino rollin' Kilo G
He rolled down his window and he started to say
It's all about makin' that GTA
[Chorus]
'Cause the boys in the hood are always hard
You come talkin' the trash, we'll pull your card
Knowin' nothin' in life, but to be legit
Don't quote me, boy, I ain't said nothin' yet
[Scratches]
Yo, man!
Get the **** out!
Pump that bass!
Motha******, say what?
[Verse 2]
Donald B's in the place to give me the pace
He said my man JD is on freebase
The boy JD was a friend of mine
'Til I caught him in my car tryin' to steal an Alpine
I chased him up the streets to call a truce
First I beat him down cause I had the juice
Little did he know I was from the old school
One sucka beat, didn't know the rule
[Chorus]
'Cause the boys in the hood are always hard
You come talkin' the trash, we'll pull your card
Knowin' nothin' in life, but to be legit
Don't quote me, boy, I ain't said nothin' yet
[Scratches]
Yo, Leroy!
Beer drinkin', breath stinkin', sniffin' glue
[Verse 3]
Bored as hell and I wanna get ill
So I went to a place where my homeboys chill
The fellas out there makin' that dollar
I pulled up in my 6-4 Impala
They greet me with a 40 and I started drinkin'
And from the 8-ball my breath started stinkin'
Left to get my girl to rock that body
Before I left I hit the Bacardi
Went to her house to get her out of the pad
Dumb girl said somethin' that made me mad
She said somethin' that I couldn't believe
So I grabbed the stupid girl by her basket weave
She started talkin' trash, wouldn't you know?
Reached back, caught myself, I had to go
Her father jumped up and he started to shout
So I threw a right cross, cold-knocked him out
[Chorus]
'Cause the boys in the hood are always hard
You come talkin' the trash, we'll pull your card
Knowin' nothin' in life, but to be legit
Don't quote me, boy, I ain't said nothin' yet
[Scratches]
Who do you think you are?
Rock this motha{rekcuf} like Three the Hard Way
[Verse 4]
I'm rollin' hard, now I'm under control
Then wrapped my 6-4 around a telephone pole
I looked at my car and I said "Oh, brother."
I throw it in the gutter, and go buy another
Walkin' home, I see the G ride
Now Cat is drivin', Kilo on the side
As they busted a U, they got pulled over
An undercover cop in a dark green Nova
Cat got beat for resistin' arrest
He socked the pig in the head for rippin' his Guess
Now G is caught for doin' the crime
Fourth offense on the boy he'll do some time
[Chorus]
'Cause the boys in the hood are always hard
You come talkin' the trash, we'll pull your card
Knowin' nothin' in life, but to be legit
Don't quote me, boy, I ain't said nothin' yet
[Scratches]
L.A. playa
Big Drum Beater
[Verse 5]
I went to get them out, but there was no bail
The fellas causin' a riot in the county jail
Two days later in the municipal court
Kilo G on trial cold cut a fart
"Disruption of the court," said the judge
On a six-year sentence, my man didn't budge
Baliff came over to turn him in
Kilo G looked up and gave a grin
He yelled out "Fire!", then came Suzy
The girl came in with a sub-machine Uzi
Police shot the girl but didn't hurt her
Both upstate for attempted murder
[Chorus]
'Cause the boys in the hood are always hard
You come talkin' the trash, we'll pull your card
Knowin' nothin' in life, but to be legit
Don't quote me, boy, I ain't said nuthin' yet
[Scratches]
Get busy, y'all!
Aw
You motha{rekcuf}
