WOO!
Come on
Woo!
Uh, uh, woo!
Come on
Woo!
Uh, uh uh

[Verse 1]
Man, I hear you n***as talkin'
But you walkin' the wrong way, didn't really mean it
I done heard it, I done seen it, don't get caught up in between it
It's a dark road you walkin on, same street that I be stalkin' on
Supposed to be quiet, but you keep talkin' on
Now your mouth got you in some shit
So we gon' let everybody see your gangsta ass get smacked like a bitch
Just to remind y'all n***as, I can find y'all n***as
Click click, what's up? Walk up right behind y'all n***as
Once the four-four hit'cha
You ain't going nowhere but out the door on a stretcher
Boy, I'ma get'cha
Wet y'all n***as up like a pool
'Cause I don' told you, y'all gon' make me lose my cool
Yo Knock, get the Glock, these bitch n***as is actin'
Making movies, we'll make a movie about this shit after it happened
All that yappin', that them new n***as is gettin' away with
Take it easy, my friend, let 'em know, dog ain't nothin' to play with
[Chorus]
A n***a gotta take the good with the bad
I'm fuckin' with the hood and I'm glad
I wish you understood why I'm mad
'Cause it'd take a lot of pressure of my back
A n***a gotta take the good with the bad
I'm fuckin' with the hood and I'm glad
I wish you understood why I'm mad
'Cause it'd take a lot of pressure off my back

[Verse 2]
Most of these hard rocks turn out to be soft as wet dog shit
Talkin' shit, but when the four spits, dog, they all split
Then all hit the ground around the same time
In the same frame of mind
Things up in the nine left them bitches blind
Hit 'em up from behind—yeah, that's how you do that
He had such a good head on his shoulders, but I blew that
Fuck you, black, you new cats don't know somethin' important
You die quick fuckin' with my shit, and my shit's extortin'
House rules (What!), when I speak, y'all n***as listen
I drop jewels that you cats can't afford to keep missin'
Triggered by stress, fueled by drugs
Shit is about to get real outta hand, dog, better get ya man, dog
Rap shit comes second, I'ma show you what a robber do
Mention ice one more time and I'm robbin' you
Tie you up for a week starvin' you
Beatin' the shit out you every day, 'cause yo, these n***as gotta pay
[Chorus]
A n***a gotta take the good with the bad
I'm fuckin' with the hood and I'm glad
I wish you understood why I'm mad
'Cause it'd take a lot of pressure of my back
A n***a gotta take the good with the bad
I'm fuckin' with the hood and I'm glad
I wish you understood why I'm mad
'Cause it'd take a lot of pressure off my back

[Verse 3]
Dog, it ain't no secret 'bout how its going down once I put on the pressure
It ain't nothing but another n***a put on a stretcher
With a blanket over his face, take him to the morgue with the waste
'Cause he was in the wrong place, at the wrong time
So I gave it to him in his chest
In his throat, in his head, in his back, through his vest, YES
Ain't a whole lot to breaking a n***a down fast
They call me black 'cause that's how I'm gon' be on that ass
Y'all pussy n***as think it's sweet
But ain't a fuckin' thing going down until I eat, so kill that beef
You better, while you still got teeth
'Cause they about to get knocked out, hopped out
On that ass with a blast that'll make your shit drop out
Copped out, through a you know what
'Cause you know why, and you know my
Motherfuckin' name up in this game, and bitch, you know I
Will never be caught slippin', but on some East Coast terms
New York n***as don't fuck with perms
[Chorus]
A n***a gotta take the good with the bad
I'm fuckin' with the hood and I'm glad
I wish you understood why I'm mad
'Cause it'd take a lot of pressure of my back
A n***a gotta take the good with the bad
I'm fuckin' with the hood and I'm glad
I wish you understood why I'm mad
'Cause it'd take a lot of pressure off my back

[Outro]
Uh uh, woo, come on!
Woo!
