(I was raised in the hood)
Eastside Long Beach to be exact
(I was raised in the hood)
Where the gra** is greener and the Crips are much meaner
(We got your back, I was raised in the hood)
I'll never turn my back on the hood
Yeah you can take me out the hood
But you can't take the hood up outta me
[Snoop Dogg - Verse 1]
Raised by the gangstas, the generals, the thieves, the twins
Yeah I'm stealing n***as, 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**h, choose me, cause I'm going to the top
Rap or the rock, them hoes say I'm on b**h
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 n***as still elope
Only cause I was raised in the hood
[Hook]
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 your 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 your back
[Snoop Dogg - Verse 2]
Raised by the monsters the criminals
The G's, it was the n***as on the East
What you know bout that?
Snoopy in his prime, I'm a boss
I catch a n***a slippin' like moss
Ride with the realest , I've been on it since a young'n
It's 200 b**hes in the function
Looking cool, you know it b**hy I'm rollin'
And I ain't worried bout them n***as we patrolling the hood and the city
Rollin on that dilly
2 milli, 2 Bugatti's, call em Rozay and Diddy
Heart of the set, homie I'm a vet
Lil n***a, 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 n***as still elope
Only cause I was raised in the hood
[Hook]
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 your 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 your back
[Snoop Dogg - Verse 3]
Raised by them hustlas them dealers on the block
It was plenty of them n***as 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**ers 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 n***as sumo
Hella far from broke, the 40 won't choke plus a n***as still elope
Only cause I was raised in the hood
