The story you're about to see, occured along the main
trading route, on the border between the North and South..
at a small outpost called Red Clay Village.

[Masta Killa]
Yo what the, yo
Let me [bad word] it one more time then y'all can [bad word] Y'know how we do it in the hood
Yo.. yeah.. turn the mic up, yeah, yo

Y'all niggaz better rock y'all hoodies
Take money snatch jewelry, in the hood
You find the best woman lookin good
Diamond she need polishin
In my hood, all the gunshot legal
At the same time we gotta stop killin our people
Keep it in the hood, niggaz walk with they gun
Keep it in the hood that's where [bad word] from
I rep Brooklyn, home of the gangsta
I know a few murderer, [bad word] dealer
In the hood, we speak mathematics and build
What's the total weight of the brain, Allah real
Slang jacks and hold gats, in the hood; 80 proof
Get my [bad word] sucked on the roof of the projects
Dice game in the park, blunt sessions after dark
Movin with the Wesson [bad word] to the God we build and drop a lesson
Pussyhole testin, in the hood
Got the word from the hoodrat, shorty on the wood
 [bad word]  Suga Bang Bang]
Murder, bad boy ya block off ah [bad word] boy ya pop off ah
Murder, nine millimeter me say
Murder, no time fi talk, one fi
Murder, men an' dem ah talk 'bout di
Murder, Masta [bad word] calm wit nying
nying, nying, nying, nying, nying
nying, nying, nying, nying, nying, me say murder

[Inspectah Deck]
Ay yo, we boys in the hood, big bad wolves in the woods
It ain't all good, pass the goods
Deep in the project halls waitin to shine
Walk with a nine and talk with gang signs
In the hood, niggaz put twenty on Hoopties
Four heads, one forty ounce and a loosie
And keep dough on the flip, a hoe on the strip
And roll [bad word] throw on the flip
Weed clouds thick enough to block the sun [bad word]  but thugs never drop the gun, understood?
Far from ya Hollywood
From day one, I vowed I would keep it in the hood
From project chicks with hips and slim waists
From five dollar plates apartment six-eighths
O.G, I spit to the young ones
I keep it in the hood that's where [bad word] from
 [bad word]  Suga Bang Bang]
Murder, bad boy ya block off ah [bad word] boy ya pop off ah
Murder, nine millimeter me say
Murder, no time fi talk, one fi
Murder, men an' dem ah talk 'bout di
Murder, Masta [bad word] calm wit nying
nying, nying, nying, nying, nying
nying, nying, nying, nying, nying, me say murder

[Streetlife]
This is the place where thugs is born - in the hood
Blink to long ya life is gone - in the hood
Convicts still live with they mom
And they whole family tree is tattooed on they arm - in the hood
Crack fiend'd furnish a 'Llac - in the hood
African's be drivin cabs - in the hood
In the streets the ghetto is hot
And the illest gangsters, on the block with cops - in the hood
The ones you love'll fill you with slugs - in the hood
Babies born addicted to [bad word] - in the hood
We make life or death decisions
And the school system is like a minimal prison
So you can't knock the hustle or the life that I'm livin
In the hood, it ain't all good, repent or you sinnin
 [bad word] 2X: Suga Bang Bang]
Murder, bad boy ya block off ah [bad word] boy ya pop off ah
Murder, nine millimeter me say
