Where the hood, where the hood, where the hood at?

Have that nigga^✦ in the cut, where the wood at?

Oh, them niggas^✦ actin'^✦ up? Where the wolves^✦ at?

[Verse 2]

Once it's on, I come through, guns is drawn

Blam, blam, lungs is gone, sons will mourn

From dusk 'til dawn (Uh), night time belongs to the dog

On the street past midnight, look for 'em in the morgue (Yeah)

Won't play with these cats 'cause I ain't got nothin'^✦ to say to these cats (Uh)

For the mothers that really^✦ do love 'em, please pray for these cats (Aight?)

'Cause I know niggas^✦ is hard-headed, but I ain't got the patience^✦ (Uh)

Don't want me havin'^✦ no patience,^✦ turn into^✦ more patients

More trips to ICU^✦ 'cause I see you

Trying to get away^✦ with shit a real nigga^✦ wouldn't do

Where my dogs at? (Right here)

You see them niggas?^✦ (Right where?)

Get 'em, boys (Right there)

That's how we do (Alright, then)

Yeah, this is for my dogs (Uh), this is for my dogs (Uh)

Yo, where we at, baby?^✦ (Creepin' through the fog)

From then 'til now, don't ask me how

Know that we gon' roll like them niggas^✦ and hit every^✦ block on the job

[Chorus]

Where the hood, where the hood, where the hood at?

Have that nigga^✦ in the cut, where the wood at?

Oh, them niggas^✦ actin'^✦ up? Where the wolves^✦ at?

You better^✦ bust that if you gon' pull that

Where the hood, where the hood, where the hood at?

Have that nigga^✦ in the cut, where the wood at?

Oh, them niggas^✦ actin'^✦ up? Where the wolves^✦ at?

You better^✦ bust that if you gon' pull that

[Post-Chorus]

Yo, yo (Yo, yo)

Yo, yo (Yo, yo, yo, yo)

[Verse 3]

I get papes,^✦ do my crime, stomp niggas^✦ like grapes^✦ makin'^✦ wine (Yeah)

Five CDs with mad rhymes^✦ (Aight)

Don't hit me with that positive shit, I know you lyin'

You really^✦ wanna^✦ stop niggas^✦ from dyin'? Stop niggas^✦ from tryin' (Yeah)

'Cause I ain't really^✦ got that time to waste

And I thought I told you to get these fuckin'^✦ bums out my face (Aight?)

Lookin'^✦ at you in your grill, it might be nice to cut (Uh-huh)^✦

Once I split your ass in two, you'll be twice as butt (Uh-huh)^✦

Yeah, you right, I know your style pussy,^✦ 'cause I'm fuckin'^✦ it (Damn)

Since we all here, you hold my dick while he suckin'^✦ it (Woo)

Motherfucker,^✦ don't you know you'll never^✦ come near me?

Shove your head up your ass, have you seein' shit clearly (Woo)

Never^✦ heard that D be running^✦ (Uh), 'cause D be gunning^✦

I beat my dick and bust off in your eye so you can see me comin'^✦

Empty^✦ clips and shells are what I leave behind

And if they get me with the joint, they'll hit me with a three-to-nine

[Chorus]

Where the hood, where the hood, where the hood at?

Have that nigga^✦ in the cut, where the wood at?

Oh, them niggas^✦ actin'^✦ up? Where the wolves^✦ at?

You better^✦ bust that if you gon' pull that

Where the hood, where the hood, where the hood at?

Have that nigga^✦ in the cut, where the wood at?

Oh, them niggas^✦ actin'^✦ up? Where the wolves^✦ at?

You better^✦ bust that if you gon' pull that

[Outro]

What?

Where the fuckin'^✦ hood at?

Ayy, no one's^✦ fuckin'^✦ with me, nigga^✦ (It's all good)

For real (It's all good, dog is the hood)

I am the hood (It's all good, dog in the hood)

I am the streets (It's all good, dog is the hood)

You bitch-ass nigga^✦ (It's all good, dog is the hood)

Take it how you want, motherfucker^✦ (It's all good)

I'm in the hood all day (Dog is the hood)

I think I'm, like, the only^✦ nigga,^✦ dog (Dog in the hood)

That can go to the projects^✦ (School Street, Home of the Brave)
