Only in the Hood - K Rino

Only in the hood, only in the hood

Only in the hood, only in the hood

Only in the hood, come see it in person

5 cars in the yard man, one of them working

At night it can get truely, rowdy and unruly

Can’t go to the store without some dude tryna sell you a movie

One day in 3rd ward, what I saw made me pause

A 10 speed with a baby seat hooked on the handlebars

And even at a funeral, they still couldn’t get past it

Buried their homeboy and put a swinger on his casket

Tripping in the wrong hood is gonna be hard to leave out

Mess around and catch your pastor coming out the weed house

Lights got turned off but we still getting it in though

'Cause my neighbor let me run an extension cord up through his window

These girls got it locked down, hustle game crazy

3 dudes paying child support on the same baby

Boyfriend/girlfriend, met and fell in love

Got married and had their wedding in the after-hours club

Where?

Only in the hood, only in the hood

If you never been around it then this won’t be understood

Gotta keep it G for my partners and homegirls

Born and bred since a youngster, wouldn’t trade it for the world

Only in the, only in the, only in the hood

Only in the, only in the, only in the hood

Only in the, only in the, only in the hood

If you never been around it then this won’t be understood

Wholesale hustling, listen I’ll say it louder

At the intersection selling fake persons and washing powder

Bought this dude a chicken basket, he was hungry, let him tell it

Soon as he got it, he in the parking lot tryna sell it

See everybody’s hustling, everybody got a stunt

10 year old children talking about, «Let me hit the blunt»

Girl ain’t even got a license but she still gonna make it pop

Doing hair in her apartment like she own her own shop

Now, you don’t think that it’s real?

Homie you might get killed

10 o’clock at night, baby outside on the big wheel

Gotta watch these fellas 'cause they real funny, trust me

Tryna sell a sick 10 year old pimp like he a puppy

This boy ain’t even crazy but he faking for a check

He got a tattoo of a pistol and a drink cup on his neck

Baby girl worked a month out of the year, she ain’t concerned

Claimed some kids that wasn’t hers and got a fire rack tax return

Where?

Only in the hood, only in the hood

If you never been around it then this won’t be understood

Gotta keep it G for my partners and homegirls

Born and bred since a youngster, wouldn’t trade it for the world

Only in the, only in the, only in the hood

Only in the, only in the, only in the hood

Only in the, only in the, only in the hood

If you never been around it then this won’t be understood

Now let me bring this to the light, you know that you ain’t right

Spraying that black stuff on your hair to make your hairline look tight

We ain’t have no real jerseys when we played our opponents

Just a plain white t-shirt with the numbers drawn on it

Little mama had a fight up at the club, she got it cracking

Picked her hair up off the ground took it home and sewn it back it

Dinner time in the hood, everybody in the spot ate

Gas turned off, we cooked the whole me on a hot plate

Don’t worry about that check fam, somebody gon' cash it

Doing ghetto gymnastics on a dirty ass mattress

Still selling cool cups, music’s still screwed up

Old school dudes slanging weed out the food truck

Everybody in the hood, packed up in the church

I just wish for one Sunday that the air condition worked

And when it’s said and done, through the drama, through it all

We don’t trip and we ain’t scared and we still don’t like the laws

Where?

Only in the hood, only in the hood

If you never been around it then this won’t be understood

Gotta keep it G for my partners and homegirls

Born and bred since a youngster, wouldn’t trade it for the world

Only in the, only in the, only in the hood

Only in the, only in the, only in the hood

Only in the, only in the, only in the hood

If you never been around it then this won’t be understood
