Raised In Da Hood - Snoop Dogg

Eastside Long Beach to be exact

(I was raised in the hood)

Where the grass is greener and the crips are much meaner

(We got ya, back, I was raised in the hood)

I’ll never turn my back on the hood

(I was raised in the hood)

Yeah you can take me out the hood

But you can’t take the hood up outta me

Raised by the gangstas, the generals, the thieves, the twins

Yeah I’m stealing ni*gas, please what you know bout that

I do it everytime, told em 1800 had em mixing it with lime (oh weee)

My life is like a movie, I was thuggin in the beach when I lit my first doobie

In the same city where I got my first piece of coochie

Where I sold my first dime, and I held my first uzi

B*tch, choose me, cause I’m going to the top

Rap or the rock, them hoes say I’m on b*tch

Whenever will it stop

I was poppin' like it’s on, slamming Chevy’s up the block

East up, what it do though

Now I ride 2-door, the Porsche looking mean

Hella far from broke, the 40 won’t choke plus a niggas still elope

Only cause I was raised in the hood

I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)

I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)

We got ya back

I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)

I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)

We got ya back

Raised by the monsters the criminals

The G’s, it was the nig*as on the east

What you know bout that?

Snoopy in his prime, I’m a boss

I catch a nig*a slippin' like moss

Ride with the realest, I’ve been on it since a young’n

It’s 200 b*tches in the function

Looking cool, you know it b*tchy I’m rollin'

And I aint worried bout them nig*as we patrolling the hood and the city

Rollin on that dilly

2 milly, 2 Bugatti’s, call em Rozay and Diddy

Heart of the set, Homie I’m a vet

Lil nigga, keep ya clothes, ask around

I’m a rep, East up, what it do though

Hoes spillin' Nuvo, Doggy on his tip

I threw up the two O

Hella far from broke, the 40 won’t choke

Plus a niggas still elope

Only cause I was raised in the hood

I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)

I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)

We got ya back

I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)

I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)

We got ya back

Raised by them hustlas them dealers on the block

It was plenty of them ni*gas on the spot

What you know bout that?

Turned up fully

The hood raised me, gang-banging made me a bully, ya dig

Burnt out and any party we at, you know it’s turned out

The people talking the rumours

Now what you heard about?

How I spend 100 thou gettin' purped out

I’m strapped up, I keep a pistol for these s*ckers tryna act up

They know I’m famous like I won’t get in the streets cuz

Like I don’t come from the W, I’m a beast bru

What it do though, dickies for the dulo

Homie, you know skinny ni*gas sumo

Hella far from broke, the 40 won’t choke plus a ni*gas still elope

Only cause I was raised in the hood

I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)

I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)

We got ya back

I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)

I was raised in the hood (the hood, the hood, the hood)

We got ya back
