Watching soft porn with Cindy,
In our basement living room.
Taking snappers from granddaddy,
Just doin´ what we do.
In a town called Inglewood,
Well most folks would be afraid.
But to us it´s no big deal,
Just a typical kind of day.
In the Hood!
There´s gangsters but they´re friendly,
Because of my puppy.
I learned on this side of Crenshaw
It´s wear blue territory.
And shopping was a rip off,
When I lived on the west side.
Over here it´s way cheaper,
And I´m blaming it on the blight.
In the Hood!
In the Hood! I´m not looking for an award.
The only white girl on my block and I´m not bored
Eh, NO, I´m not a hipster, it´s all I can afford.
In the Hood!
The ice cream trucks competing
With their songs throughout the day.
On weekends where are three,
No tune they play´s the same.
Every home´s got barred up windows
And pets they don´t adore.
I rescued a sightless kitten every other FUCK ignored.
In the Hood!
You never want to point or stare.
In the Hood!
Just find your set and you´ll fit in.
Unless you´re some kind of poser with no street credit.
In the Hood!
It´s where I Live!
