[Intro: K-Rino] Only in the hood, only in the hood Only in the hood, only in the hood [Verse 1: K-Rino] Only in the hood, come see it in person 5 cars in the yard, not one of them working At night at [?], rowdy and unruly Can't go to the store without some dude tryna sell you a movie One day in 3rd [?], what I saw made me pause A 10 speed with a baby seat hooked on the handlebars And even at a funeral, they still couldn't get past it Buried their homeboy and put a swinger on his casket Tripping in the wrong hood is gonna be hard to leave out Mess around and catch your pastor coming out the weed house Lights got turned off but we still getting it in though 'Cause my neighbor let me run an extension cord up through his window These girls got it locked down, hustle game crazy 3 dudes paying child support on the same baby Boyfriend/girlfriend, met and fell in love Got married and had their wedding in the after-hours club Where? [Chorus: K-Rino] Only in the hood, only in the hood If you never been around it then this won't be understood Gotta keep it G for my partners and homegirls Born and bred since a youngster, wouldn't trade it for the world Only in the, only in the, only in the hood Only in the, only in the, only in the hood Only in the, only in the, only in the hood If you never been around it then this won't be understood [Verse 2: K-Rino] Wholesale hustling, listen I'll say it louder At the intersection selling fake persons and washing powder Bought this dude a chicken basket, he was hungry, let him tell it Soon as he got it, he in the parking lot tryna sell it See everybody's hustling, everybody got a stunt 10 year old children talking about, “Let me hit the blunt” Girl ain't even got a license but she still gonna make it pop Doing hair in her apartment like she own her own shop Now, you don't think that it's real? Homie you might get k**ed 10 o'clock at night, baby outside on the big wheel Gotta watch these fellas 'cause they real funny, trust me Tryna sell a sick 10 year old pimp like he a puppy This boy ain't even crazy but he faking for a check He got a tattoo of a pistol and a drink cup on his neck Baby girl worked a month out of the year, she ain't concerned Claimed some kids that wasn't hers and got a fire rack tax return Where? [Chorus: K-Rino] Only in the hood, only in the hood If you never been around it then this won't be understood Gotta keep it G for my partners and homegirls Born and bred since a youngster, wouldn't trade it for the world Only in the, only in the, only in the hood Only in the, only in the, only in the hood Only in the, only in the, only in the hood If you never been around it then this won't be understood [Verse 3: K-Rino] Now let me bring this to the light, you know that you ain't right Spraying that black stuff on your hair to make your hairline look tight We ain't have no real jerseys when we played our opponents Just a plain white t-shirt with the numbers drawn on it Little mama had a fight up at the club, she got it cracking Picked her hair up off the ground took it home and sewn it back it Dinner time in the hood, everybody in the spot ate Gas turned off, we cooked the whole me on a hot plate Don't worry about that check fam, somebody gon' cash it Doing ghetto gymnastics on a dirty a** mattress Still selling cool cups, music's still screwed up Old school dudes slanging weed out the food truck Everybody in the hood, packed up in the church I just wish for one Sunday that the air condition worked And when it's said and done, through the drama, through it all We don't trip and we ain't scared and we still don't like the laws Where? [Chorus: K-Rino] Only in the hood, only in the hood If you never been around it then this won't be understood Gotta keep it G for my partners and homegirls Born and bred since a youngster, wouldn't trade it for the world Only in the, only in the, only in the hood Only in the, only in the, only in the hood Only in the, only in the, only in the hood If you never been around it then this won't be understood
