Bring Back Somethin Fo Da Hood Lyrics - It Takes A Thief - Coolio

This record goes out to all you fake ass 

Gangsta baller bueschwa-minded ass house niggas 

Who forget their color, put on a suit an' tie 

An' escape from the ghetto an' don't never come back 

Yeah, motherfucker, you can run but you sure can't hide 

Deep down in the jungle with a crack to the throat 

Niggas kill niggas for steppin' on their toe 

A girl is a bitch an' a lady is a ho' 

When anythin' goes for a little bit o'docey 

Shit get cooked by thugs an' crooks 

With the knowledge of a scholar but they don't read books 

Everyday is a chance that ya life might go 

So today is a day that ya gotta get paid 

Slang them ki's, make them G's 

Do what'cha want but ya sell what'cha please 

But don't forget where you come from 

'Cos when you do that, you're done 

Remember your niggas an' bitches an' your Trojans 

An' take it to your pockets for some fitness 

When ya get it goin' an' ya got it goin' good 

Ya better bring back somethin' for da hood 

Bring back somethin' fo da hood, motherfucker 

Bring back somethin' fo da hood 

Bring back somethin' fo da hood, motherfucker 

Bring back somethin' fo da hood 

LA County, what's goin' on? 

1993, modern day Babylon 

Peace to the niggas from the street 

An' rest in peace to the others that's six feet deep 

Welcome to the fool an' he strikes when he's back 

An' the snake come around, go around an' get ape 

Top down, slipped on co-run, they none 

Every [Incomprehensible] ain't no fun 

Black cop, white cop 

Fuck the color of skin, make sure he shot 

Escape from a jail cell, split away from Hell 

An' all I want for Christmas is a glock an' some shells 

Billy Boy takes the pictures, [Incomprehensible] 

Five by seven on my switch, we got out early 

Taddle-tails get dropped an' they get got good 

So get this [Incomprehensible] for the hood 

Get that nigga fo da hood, motherfucker 

Get that nigga fo da hood 

Get that nigga fo da hood, motherfucker 

Get that nigga fo da hood 

Them niggas ain't playin', them niggas ain't playin' 

Them niggas ain't playin', them niggas ain't playin' 

What'cha gonna do when you get out of jail? 

Get that nigga fo da hood 

You must remember dis, if you're black an' you're rich 

When push come to shove, they'll take your shit 

Martin Luther King didn't wear a diamond ring 

But he had a dream to let freedom reign 

My homie, Red Foxx got played like blocks 

Pick 'em up sticks, jacks an' hop-scotch 

[Incomprehensible] aggravation, there's no end to the situation 

'Cos niggas need a place to meet, a place to sleep 

A place to eat an' rest they feet 

But nobody really even gives a fuck 

That's why so many niggas is [Incomprehensible] 

You claimin' the hood but you don't back it up, fool 

An' when they catch ya ass, they gonna fuck you up 

So when you get it goin' an' ya got it goin' good 

You better bring back somethin' fo da hood 

Bring back somethin' fo da hood, motherfucker 

Bring back somethin' fo da hood 

Bring back somethin' fo da hood, motherfucker 

Bring back somethin' fo da hood 

Bring back somethin' fo da hood, motherfucker 

Bring back somethin' fo da hood 

Bring back somethin' fo da hood, motherfucker 

Bring back somethin' fo da hood 

Bring back somethin' fo da hood, motherfucker
