Comin' up in da hood where the streets are cold
Either you gon stretch or either you gon fold
Either you gon ride or get rolled on
Which one is it or they pay you a visit? Comin' up in da hood where the streets are cold
Either you gon stretch or either you gon fold
Either you gon ride or get rolled on
Which one is it or they pay you a visit? What you gon do? You gon ride? You gon roll?
You gon stretch? You gon fold? You gon keep yo family po?
Comin' up in da hood watchin' my homies take the pressure
Thats why I chose to be a mic-checka What you gon do? You gon ball? You gon fall?
Let 'em knock you into walls? Leave you dead in a hall
Or you gon keep hanging in the streets with your crew
Dont ask me 'cause I know what Im a do But what you gon do?
Buy the solos with the dodos and nogos, and fofos
In choke holds after getting chased by the po pos
You gon ride solo or is you gon group it?
Or is you gon think before you start being stupid Comin' up in da hood where the streets are cold
Either you gon stretch or either you gon fold
Either you gon ride or get rolled on
Which one is it or they pay you a visit? Comin' up in da hood where the streets are cold
Either you gon stretch or either you gon fold
Either you gon ride or get rolled on
Which one is it or they pay you a visit? Now what chu gon do? You gon rob? You gon kill?
Buy the drugs or you gon deal or go out and chase a mil
Or on the other hand get a deal like me
And go and write 48 bars to a beat Tell me what you gon do? Be another family failure
Disrespectin' all your elders, go livin' in a shelter
Or you gon get killed put in jail or be a doctor
And own a big house on the roof a helicopter Whatchu gon do?
Stay in the same city, same hood, same block
Same homies changing clothes, wearin' each others socks
Or do you wanna go somewhere a life to try to live
And see about a hundred making money, taking trips Comin' up in da hood where the streets are cold
Either you gon stretch or either you gon fold
Either you gon ride or get rolled on
Which one is it or they pay you a visit? Comin' up in da hood where the streets are cold
Either you gon stretch or either you gon fold
Either you gon ride or get rolled on
Which one is it or they pay you a visit? What you gon do? Be a fed, be a star, do the dance, hit the bar
Be a face nigga, sharp or go and shop, and stuff
Hit the mall, pop tags, start stuff
Get me red, white and blue like the flag Jibbs what you gon do? Gettin' money, stay off the streets
They frontin' man, it ain't funny, I ain't runnin'
Hopin' from place to place like a bunny kinda sunny
Phone on my waist vibrate 'cause its comin'
Stay in shape, last in the game is music business funny For the sake that my hood cats hungry
Tryin' to get a mil deal, bread and bologna
For the sake that my hood cats that are hungry
Tryin' to get a mil deal, bread and bologna Comin' up in da hood
