Lloyd Banks
This Is My Hood
[Intro]
You are now entering
The home of the brave
The land of the slave
(Uh) Yeah

[Chorus]
Now this is my home this is where we live
It's not the best place to raise up yo kids (Uh huh)
But I'm happy that I did (Yea)
Get to see everything out here
This is my hood this is where we stay (Yea)
Somebody gets shot everyday (Uh huh)
In my hood (Uh huh)
In my hood (Uh huh)
In my hood (Uh huh) (Yea)
In my hood

[Verse 1]
Them lil n***as ain't lookin' while they sprayin' they lead (Uh-uh)
That's why lil [?] got that hole in his leg (Uh)
Poor mama cryin' holdin' her head
Can't believe her baby got in the way of that new three-eighty, the hood's crazy
There's 14 year old's havin' babies (Uh huh)
And some of them is younger (Where?)
Where the fuck is the mother? (Where?)
Where the fuck was the rubber and who is the lover?
If he a grown ass man he needs his ass whipped (Ah ha)
Cause ain't no explanation for that shit (Uh-uh)
He need to stare in the mirror till the shit get clearer (Uh)
And it don't matter how many times you [?] your eyes and turn around, your reflection still resembles a clown (Oh!)
And you ain't gotta listen to know everyone in town (Uh huh)
Take a look around (Uh huh) there's Ferraris on the ground (Uh huh)
They know I got the pound so, don't play around 'cause it only takes a round, to lay you on the ground (Yea!)
[Chorus]
Now this is my home this is where we live
It's not the best place to raise up yo kids
But I'm happy that I did (Uh huh)
Get to see everything out here (Wow)
This is my hood this is where we stay (Uh huh)
Somebody gets shot everyday
In my hood
In my hood (Uh huh)
In my hood (Uh huh)
In my hood

[Verse 2]
I took the industry by storm (Uh huh) but I believe I bombed (Yeah) since a knee high don (Yeah) with my Levis on (Woo!)
You should the kinda trees I pam, the [?] chron that'll make a n***a breathe all calm (Uh) he's all wrong
Banks is the hottest (Uh)
I got fish tanks full of dollars, rich pink on the polish (Yeah!), chicks faint when they spot us
Like a Medusa
The illest motherfucker wit a mic and producer (C'mon)
Player I live the life of a trooper (Uh)
And my chain'll cut on more lights than super (Oh)
I'm so fresh and I'm so clean
With no stress I got no steam (No steam)
Just mo sex, spendin' yo cream (Oh!)
The flow's so mean, I put the game in a dope fiend, the big Bentley'll make all the hoes scream
We ball player, take the whole team
Look at my gold glean, n***a I even got my rose green (Yeah!)
[Chorus]
Now this is my home this is where we live
It's not the best place to raise up yo kids
But I'm happy that I did
Get to see everything out here (Uh)
This is my hood this is where we stay (Uh huh)
Somebody gets shot everyday
In my hood
In my hood
In my hood
In my hood

[Outro]
Yeah!
You n***as know where I'm from
From my hood
To yo hood
It's all good
But rest in peace [?], rest in peace Jah, rest in peace Star
Yo roll up n***a
