i don't need no mothafuckin' pass
i don't need a passport to come through the mothafuckin' 'hood
i got a gun and a bentley
tie up my jordan's i'm ready for whatever
i'm just a 'hood nigga who taught himself how to paint
i'll show you how i went from rags to riches mothafucka
welcome to the block life
the boy hov can't tell me shit about the roc life
call it a cafe when the fiends here all block
lookin' out for marked vans
i used to do it for my mother
change the diapers on my sisters
clean the pumas for my brothers
wipe the wheels on the bentley
nigga and tell the 'hood i'm comin' home
ready for the biz and i gotta do it big
how many times are you alive if you ran these streets
so many times the streets kept calling me
i used to hit the block like a bat out of hell
with a blunt in my mouth and a pocket full of shells
somebody shot my older brother
it was like that when we was just boys in the 'hood
fuck what you saw on boyz n the hood
and when we pull up on this corner
you wanna know how it feel to kill
then grab my steal and peel at will
show 'em how to turn the block into a trackmeet
i'm a felon and i pack heat
fiends know my name cause game let the crack speak
if that's not 'hood send a shot to my dome
wipe the lamborghini down
nigga and tell the 'hood i'm coming home
what you think mo' fucka?
i'll let seventeen go before you blink mo' fucka
you know it's me instantly just off a couple of phrases
i'm seventeen years and pussy just stopped a bullet
pull these out of the wooly mammoth hoodie
drop your hands and the grams
drop everything you got from your pockets to your hands
when i was young we hit licks out of astro vans
when i was young the fox hillmar was alit
i'm a lion to these frogs
i'm feeling like martin luther king
and everything i visualized was just a dream
