Ice Cube Ice Cube - Why we thugs Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
Every hood's the same {*2X*}
Come on

[Chorus]
They give us guns and drugs
Then wonder why in the f___ we thugs
They wanna count the slugs
Then come around here and f___ with us (you know)
They give us guns and drugs
Then wonder why in the f___ we thugs
They wanna count the slugs
Then come around here and f___ with us

[Verse 1]
I'm from the land of the gang bang
Since I was little, ain't a god d___ thang changed
It's the same old saying
Bush run s___ like Sadaam Hussien
I c___ and aim, clinically insane
To deal with this bullshit day to day
If I sell some yay or smoke some hay
You b____es wanna throw me up in pelican's bay
Call me an animal up in the system
But who's the animal that built this prison
Who's the animal that invented lower living
The projects, thank god for Russell Simmons
Thank god for Sugarhill
I'm putting a different kind of steel up to my grille
Y'all know what it is, scared for your own kids
How these ghetto n____z taken over s_____z

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
It's boyz in the hood, it's toys in the hood
Y'all wanna know why there's noise in the hood
Cause there's drugs in the hood, thugs in the hood
n____ killed a crip and a blood in the hood (For real)
Cause when n____z get tribal
It's all about survival, nobody liable
I got caught by five-o
Grandmama came to court with her bible
But when the judge hit the gavel
Now I'm too far from my family to travel (f___)
I just came unraveled
Socked the D.A. before I got gaffled
Owned by C.A, State Property
Just like the year fifteen fifty three
Looking for me, a one-way ticket out
Don't understand, what's so hard to figure out?

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
(d___) I can't take the pressure
Pulled the forty-four up out the dresser
Grabbed the weight up out the closet
Po-po coming but I'm scared to toss it
Y'all know what happened last time I lost it
Can't tell you n____z what the f___in boss did
The game got a n____ exhausted
Gotta go for the plea bargain they offered
Twenty years for what?
Breaking these laws that's so corrupt
Taking these halls and fillin 'em up
Some powder keg s___ that's about to erupt
Ay y'all, I'm about to be stuck
Until the year two thousand, what the f___?
In the hood, don't press your luck
Cause these m_________ers will set you up, word up

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Every hood's the same {*3X*}
Every hood's the same {*3X*}
Stop trippin on it
Every hood's the same {*3X*}
Every hood's the same {*3X*}
