Song title: Ice Cube - Why We Thugs (Album Version)

Edit By: 216.73.216.5

[Intro:]
Yeah.
Every hood's the same.
Every hood's the same.
Come on.

[Chorus:]
They give us guns & drugs
Then wonder Why in the fuck We Thugs
They wanna count the slugs
Then come around here & fuck with us
They give us guns & drugs
Then wonder Why in the fuck We Thugs
They wanna count the slugs
Then come around here & fuck with us.

[Verse 1:]
I'm from the land of the gang bang
Since I was little, ain't a god damn thing changed
It's the same ol same
Bush run shit like Sadaam Hussien
I cock & aim, clinically insane
To deal with this bullshit day to day
If I sell some yay or smoke some hay
You bitches 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 livin'?
The projects, thank God for Russell Simmons
Thank God for Sugarhill
I'm puttin' a different kind of steel up to my grill
Y'all know what it is, scared for your own kids
How these ghetto niggas taken over showbiz.

[Verse 2:]
It's boys 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
Nigga killed a crip & a blood in the hood, for real
'Cause when niggas get tribal
It's all about survival, nobody liable
I got caught by 5 oh
Grandmama came to court with her bible
But when the judge hit the gavel
Now I'm too far from my family to travel (Fuck)
I just came unraveled
Socked the D.A. before I got gaffled
Owned by C.A, State Property
Just like the year 1553
Lookin' for me, a 1 way ticket out.
Don't understand, what's so hard to figure out?

[Verse 3:]
Damn, I can't take the pressure
Pulled the .44 up out the dresser
Grabbed the weight up out the closet
Po-po comin' but I'm scared to toss it
Y'all know what happened last time I lost it
Can't tell you niggas what the fuckin' boss did
The game got a nigga exhausted
Gotta go for the plea bargain they offered.
20 years for what?
Breakin' these laws that's so corrupt
Takin' these halls & fillin' 'em up
Some powder keg shit that's about to erupt
Hey y'all, I'm about to be stuck
Until the year 2000. What the fuck?
In the hood, don't press your luck
'Cause these muthafuckers will set you up, word up.

[Outro:]
Every hood's the same. [3X]
Every hood's the same. [2X]
Stop trippin' on it.
Every hood's the same. [3X]
Every hood's the same. [2X]
