Lyrics
Strong Arm Steady gang, ****
You already know the name
I'm from the hood (****)
I'm, I'm from the hood (Yes)
I'm, I'm from the hood (Yes)
I'm, I'm from the hood
(Better) klack or get klacked on
(Either) klack or get klacked on
(Better) klack or get klacked on
(Either) klack or get klacked on
I'm from the hood (****)
I'm, I'm from the hood (Yes)
I'm, I'm from the hood (Yes)
I'm, I'm from the hood
(Better) klack or get klacked on
(Either) klack or get klacked on
(Better) klack or get klacked on
(Either) klack or get klacked on
Black man, shoot your friendly neighborhood local police man
'Cause they'll say you got a gun, it's just a cell in your hand
Police will shoot without proof or evidence of the truth
My **** reached for registration, blew his brains through the roof
Which lead me to the conclusion that we should do all the shooting
My itchy trigger finger **** is a new resolution
What about Sean Bell and all the **** in jail
That didn't really do the crime, it just remind me of hell
To get locked like Mandela, get respected
Or you can get rich like Roc-A-Fella off of records
Or you could shoot it out with the cops, make their body flop
Take 'em on a high speed chase, hit the body shop, change the plates
When you shoot the pigs, aim for the stomach, hit the face
Rob a bank, hit the safe, get the cake, clack first
Youtube Micheal Moore, the facts worse
Studies show cops see blacks and let the gats burst
Yeah, that's right motherfucker
You could Youtube that shit yourself
Phil Da Agony, Strong Arm Steady and I'm
I'm from the hood (****)
I'm, I'm from the hood (Yes)
I'm, I'm from the hood (Yes)
I'm, I'm from the hood
(Better) klack or get klacked on
(Either) klack or get klacked on
(Better) klack or get klacked on
(Either) klack or get klacked on
I'm from the hood (****)
I'm, I'm from the hood (Yes)
I'm, I'm from the hood (Yes)
I'm, I'm from the hood
(Better) klack or get klacked on
(Either) klack or get klacked on
(Better) klack or get klacked on
(Either) klack or get klacked on
You hear that guitar but this ain't no rock band
I steer this big car because I'm a rock man
And my homeland is hard to withstand
That's the beach and by Sea World, the South East is contraband
Firearm, car alarm in the back drop
Yellow tape, a fellow got scraped while his rat watched
We are as felons mandatory down for a pistol but if you ain't toting, a ****'ll yank your crystals
And I'm King Tuting, just call me a ice glutton, Forgiato, top flop at the tap of a push button
More revenue than most **** that's still on the block
Maybe 'cause I got something to lose, their ass won't get shot
But once a real factor, always a klack klacker
Make carnage out of **** that think they a chain snatcher
City full of brain blasters
San Diego's filled with dead homies that some little ****'s named after
Don't get it fucked up ****, just cause a **** hopping out this big car
Don't mean a **** won't splat you ****, uh
I'm from the hood (****)
I'm, I'm from the hood (Yes)
I'm, I'm from the hood (Yes)
I'm, I'm from the hood
(Better) klack or get klacked on
(Either) klack or get klacked on
(Better) klack or get klacked on
(Either) klack or get klacked on
I'm from the hood (****)
I'm, I'm from the hood (Yes)
I'm, I'm from the hood (Yes)
I'm, I'm from the hood
(Better) klack or get klacked on
(Either) klack or get klacked on
(Better) klack or get klacked on
(Either) klack or get klacked on
Baptized with an appetite for warfare
Stare and get lifted 10 feet in the air, yeah
Homie see electric chairs, cell block filled to the rim
With Crips, Norteños and Brims
Keep letting small things slide, you won't win
Die or survive, do your time, take it in stride
That's why Lompoc lives for a deal gone lopsided
They molly whop **** on the yard when it's fun time
The hood's evil, no better than the chow line at Chino or the impact at ground zero
See, heroes get cut then ate like some spring rolls
Leave 'em bleeding, guess I'll be needing David Shapiro
Be the reason they out wildin', wetting the weirdo
'Tis the season to get jugging, cooking a kilo
Gnarly as CeeLo, that's how the weed looking
Extinct or in the precinct? I'd rather see booking
I mean we like to preach "red and blue make green, black and brown make green"
But it's always don't end up that way, so y'all be prepared for everything
I'm from the hood (****)
I'm, I'm from the hood (Yes)
I'm, I'm from the hood (Yes)
I'm, I'm from the hood
(Better) klack or get klacked on
(Either) klack or get klacked on
(Better) klack or get klacked on
(Either) klack or get klacked on
I'm from the hood (****)
I'm, I'm from the hood (Yes)
I'm, I'm from the hood (Yes)
I'm, I'm from the hood
(Better) klack or get klacked on
(Either) klack or get klacked on
(Better) klack or get klacked on
(Either) klack or get klacked on
