Madd Kapp - The Whole Hood lyrics

[Madd Kapp] The hood done got crazy, too many damn rappers They crawlin out the woodwork, tryin to make it happen Kids I used to see on the block on they bikes This sh** is evolution, now they pickin up mics Gettin into fights, tryin to be the man Tryin to cop the ice almost any way they can But but they don't understand, somebody come and snatch it When you get outnumbered run them j**els and your jackets This sh** is entertainment, even though it's real They got rappers doin life, even rappers gettin k**ed Keep your head on straight, if you ever get a deal Buy equipment of your own when you get your first mill' I done taught a lot of rappers how to structure they bars And change voice pitch in the chorus of the song Sometimes they pay attention, sometimes they just don't But I'm still a father figure in this game I know and you know [Chorus] Things ain't the way that they used to be The whole motherf**in hood changed thanks to me Turned raggedy-a** rappers to real MC's The whole motherf**in hood changed thanks to me Got gangsters to put out albums now you see The whole motherf**in hood changed thanks to me M-A-double-D to K-A-double-P's who I be The whole motherf**in hood changed thanks to me [Madd Kapp] Motherf**ers turned renegade and try to get at me Hehehehehe, yeah you hear me laughin Flattery'll get you nowhere, I know the street sh** I taught you a little but not all the secrets My record's gettin spun is enough to get even Your sh** ain't even worthy of a website leakin I take it very serious you weekend warriors If you can't get the picture then refer to the chorus The whole motherf**in hood changed thanks to me From down river to the nightclubs up in the D I done done a lot of sufferin to earn my spot Yeah I admit it~! Madd Kapp drinks a lot But anywho, it doesn't change the fact that I remain in tact I'm on my game, I'm back, and here to claim my spot Cause I'll eventually be on top Don't ask to freestyle, I get paid to rock - ha [Chorus] [Madd Kapp] I done ghostwrote songs but I can't say names Cause it's contractual, just another glitch in the game Money comin in and goin out, it's all the same Everything's cosmetic man, f**in with fame Fame comes in different levels like junior and senior But the juniors in the hood grindin for the seniors Forget about the food chain, I do my own thang Hold my head high, I'ma let my nuts hang I'm known to get rowdy, but that ain't my every day Blockbuster on Fort Street's two miles away I don't hang around motherf**ers act like a**es Speakin out they neck end up eatin they gla**es When you got an album the whole hood be hatin I'm tryin to stay God Body and ignore the behavior This is not an act or a cry for attention This is just the truth that the chorus mentions [Chorus] The whole motherf**in hood changed thanks to me {*4X*} C'mon!
