MC Eiht Hood Took Me Under Lyrics

I got another gang story to tell.
Peep, about how a black n____ was born in hell.
And right then and there it's no hope
Cause a n____ can't escape the gangs and the dope.
d___! and when its black on black, that makes it s___ty.
Can't survive in the compton city.
And fool thats bet.
Cause when you grow up in the hood, you gots ta claim a set.
Geah, its not that you want to but you have to.
Don't be a mark, cause n____s might laugh you
Straight off the m_____fuckin block.
Can't deal with bustas so they a__es get clocked.
Geah, who gives a f___ about another.
Only got love for my f___in gang brothers.
Geah but i'm young so nobody would wonder
That the hood would take me under.

[scratching: always strapped and eager to peel a cap
The hood done took me under.]

Now i'm a few ages older
Got hair on my nuts and i'm a little bit bolder.
And puttin in work, i has to do my f___in part,
I'm down for the hood and its planted in the heart.
Fool. at school slappin on the girls a__es
f___ the white education so i skip a lot of classes.
Cause ain't no teaching a n____ white reality.
Teach me the m_____fuckin gang mentality.
Pop pop pop, drops the sucker
If he's from another hood i gots ta shoot the m_____fucker.
Geah i'm in it to win it and can't quit.
Fool, and ready die for this s___.
One times can't fade the gang tuff.
Puttin my foot in your a__ to make times rough.
I'm the neighbourhood terror but i never wondered
That the hood would take me under.

Chorus:
+[police is hot, so i'm watching my back...]

I guess i'll watch my back cause n____s jivin'
Times heard this brother pulled a 187.
Who i thought was my homie dropped the dime.
So i gotta peel his cap with the nine.
Fool, so if its on then its on, f___ ya g,
Because how the odds are looking, its either him or me.
So i loads up the strap and i step
Cause my brain cells are dead and all i think is death.
Revenge. that's what its all about.
See the sucker, take the m_____fucker out.
Stare the fool down with the eye contact.
He try to swing so i draw on him with the gatt.
Blast was the sound that one times heard uh
n____ 25 to live for the murder.
Was it worth it i've always wondered.
Maybe if the hood didn't take me under.

Geah, this going out to all the n____s,
It's going out to my n____s.
Its going out to all the n____s,
My n____ mike t
