Boyz In The Hood

Nothing happens overnight, and things happen for a reason

Yeah, that's what they say, but that's some shit I don't believe in

You don't know the plight of the life that I'm seeking

Just some bad-ass kids on the block getting beatin's

Runnin' through the projects, dodgin' metal objects

Playin' madden in the other room, cookin' in the Pyrex

House party, kid n' play shit, it was mad chicks

Pissy mattress on the street, we doin' backflips

We was like best friends when I was a little kid

I was askin' bout you, couldn't believe what they said

Heard they charged you for a murder, and you had to do a bid

I was lost for words, but shit, my nigga hold your head
