Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][C][Em]
[Em][C][Em]

[Chorus 1]
[Em]They give us guns [C]and drugs
Then wonder why in the [Em]fuck we thugs
They wanna [C]count the slugs
Then come around here and [Em]fuck with us
They give us [C]guns and drugs
Then wonder why in the [Em]fuck we thugs
They wanna [C]count the slugs
Then come around here and [Em]fuck with us

[Verse 1]
[Em]I'm from the land [C]of the gang bang
Since I was little,
ain't a [Em]god damn thang changed
It's the [C]same ol same
Bush run shit like Sa[Em]daam Hussien
I cock and aim, clinical[C]ly insane
To deal with this bullshit [Em]day to day
If I sell some yay or [C]smoke some hay
You bitches wanna throw me up
in [Em]Pelican's Bay
Call me an animal [C]up in the system
But who's the animal that [Em]built this prison
Who's the animal that in[C]vented lower living
The projects, thank [Em]God for Russell Simmons
Thank [C]God for Sugarhill
I'm putting a different kind of [Em]steel
up to my grill
Y'all know what it is,
[C]scared for your own kids
How these ghetto niggas [Em]taken over showbiz

[Chorus 2]
[Em]They give us guns [C]and drugs
Then wonder why in the [Em]fuck we thugs
They wanna [C]count the slugs
Then come around here and [Em]fuck with us
They give us [C]guns and drugs
Then wonder why in the [Em]fuck we thugs
They wanna [C]count the slugs
Then come around here and [Em]fuck with us

[Verse 2]
It's [Em]Boyz in the Hood,
it's [C]toys in the hood
Y'all wanna know
why there's [Em]noise in the hood
Cause there's drugs in the hood,
[C]thugs in the hood
Nigga killed a Crip and
a [Em]Blood in the hood (For real)
Cause when [C]niggas get tribal
It's all about survival, [Em]nobody liable
I got [C]caught by Five-0
Grandmama came to court with her bible
[Em]But when the judge[C] hit the gavel
Now I'm too far from my [Em]family to travel
I just [C]came unraveled
Socked the D.A. be[Em]fore I got gaffled
Owned by C.A, [C]State Property
Just like the year fif[Em]teen fifty three
Looking for me, a [C]one-way ticket out
Don't understand,
what's so [Em]hard to figure out?

[Chorus 3]
[Em]They give us guns [C]and drugs
Then wonder why in the [Em]fuck we thugs
They wanna [C]count the slugs
Then come around here and [Em]fuck with us
They give us [C]guns and drugs
Then wonder why in the [Em]fuck we thugs
They wanna [C]count the slugs
Then come around here and [Em]fuck with us

[Verse 3]
[Em](Damn) I can't take the pressure
Pulled the fo-fo up out the dresser
[Em]Grabbed the weight up [C]out the closet
Po-po coming but I'm [Em]scared to toss it
Y'all know what happened last [C]time I lost it
Can't tell you niggas
what the [Em]fuckin boss did
D game got a [C]nigga exhausted
Gotta go for the plea [Em]bargain they offered
Twenty [C]years for what?
Breaking these laws that's [Em]so corrupt
Taking these halls and [C]fillin 'em up
Some powder cake shit
that's a[Em]bout to erupt
Ay y'all, I'm a[C]bout to be stuck
Until the year two thousand,
[Em]what the fuck?
In the hood, don't [C]press your luck
Cause these motherfuckers will [Em]set you up,

[Chorus 4]
word up
[Em]They give us guns [C]and drugs
Then wonder why in the [Em]fuck we thugs
They wanna [C]count the slugs
Then come around here and [Em]fuck with us
They give us [C]guns and drugs
Then wonder why in the [Em]fuck we thugs
They wanna [C]count the slugs
Then come around here and [Em]fuck with us

[Outro 1]
[Em]Every hood[C]'s the same
Every hood's the [Em]same
Every hood's the same
Every [C]hood's the same
Every hood's the [Em]same,
stop trippin on it
Every [C]hood's the same
Every hood's the [Em]same
Every hood's the same
Every [C]hood's the same
Every hood's the [Em]same
