Taj-He-Spitz, what the business is, uhh, uhh [Hook] (In My Hood) I sleep where the sun don't rise I advise y'all to leave when we ride by (In My Hood) n***as ain't doin' alright This the Bay Area, let me take you inside (x2) [VERSE] Now in this verse, I'mma tell you how to leave a n***a murked You f** with a n***a's family, you get put up in the dirt You play with a n***a's money, homie, that's even worse In The Bay, northern CA, n***as is gettin' hurt We went from backpackin' rappin' to snatchin' a woman's purse Gettin' mad at the East Coast, sayin' we did sh** first So in this verse, I'mma give you The Bay for what it's worth n***as set-trippin', dyin', fightin' over their turf Police startin' to know your name, way to your birth In the system, feelin' like the youth permanently cursed So I'mma use this verse, and I'mma tell you 'bout The Bay Don't skip tracks, sit back and let it marinate Now MC's is startin' to beef, so prepare for days And rain checks, it look like n***as is scared and fake But it ain't never been a n***a which I was scared to face Let it blow, let 'em know, it's gone, every way [Hook] (In My Hood) I sleep where the sun don't rise I advise y'all to leave when we ride by (In My Hood) n***as ain't doin' alright This the Bay Area, let me take you inside (x2) [VERSE] Patna and So Gutta, run the streets like no other Sleepin' late night, cold as f** with no covers Young n***a got jumped, couldn't call on no brother Came home to find out, he ain't got no mother Listening to 2Pac, and he thought was his rap said His auntie a junkie, and his daddy a crackhead ... Lookin' up to his older brother, who talk lies outta his mouth Couple weeks later like f** it, young n***a done had it Copped a bundle, real humble, gettin' his cabbage Started f**in' with a local gang, got a little co*ky Got off his beats and cues, got a little sloppy Couple months later, ran into them n***as that jumped him High as hell, pulled out the .45 and started dumpin' (BRAAT!) You come through The Bay, patna', I'mma let you know somethin' Don't f** with them youngsters, them little n***as is monsters [Hook] (In My Hood) I sleep where the sun don't rise I advise y'all to leave when we ride by (In My Hood) n***as ain't doin' alright This the Bay Area, let me take you inside (x2) [VERSE] Used to stab a n***a, shoot a n***a, kidnap his baby My OG told me that's what they did in the 80's It's crazy, cross that Bay Bridge on that hype sh** Just count, and I'm out for how long your life is Oakland, Richmond, Vallejo, 'Frisco Every n***a I know from them cities is skitzo Fairfield, Suisun, E.P.A., and Hayward Little brothers of The Bay, man n***as is players It feel like, I ain't seen peace, homie, in ages I ain't sayin' it's Iraq, don't get it mistaken But on Halloween, n***as don't dress up as Jason They dress up as a crackhead they seen in the basement Young n***as crackin' cases, claimin' a set A lot of rappers tryna take off, with 2Pac left Understand, that I was shocked by 2Pac's d**h But I never wanna be the hat on 2Pac's head n***a, this where I lay, this where I stay Where everything is sickening, this is The Bay I said this where I lay, this where I stay Where everything is sickening, this is The Bay [Hook] (In My Hood) I sleep where the sun don't rise I advise y'all to leave when we ride by (In My Hood) n***as ain't doin' alright This the Bay Area, let me take you inside (x2)
