Boyz In The Hood Lyrics - Dj Drama

Dear Lord, when it's all said and done 

I pray I'm forgiven for my wrongs 

And when they tell the story, it ends righteously 

Uh, sorry your honor if I was too arrogant 

That money was staggering 

They locked me PC with them trannies and rats 

Man that shit was embarrassing 

Twenty-three hours in a cell by myself 

Man you couldn't imagine it 

They fed me some shit I wouldn't feed to my dog 

Man that shit was the nastiest 

Can you imagine me losing my mind? 

Doing push-ups, fifty-two at a time 

Do the whole debt just to get through the time 

Just to get to my son and get back to my mom 

Papi keep asking me where am I at? 

I told him, "In jail" and I said I'd be back 

He said "When you're back, can you get me from school?" 

Shit like that there'll turn boy to a goon 

Onto the graveyard, there's only one stop 

We live fast, die from gunshots 

In this lifestyle when we sling dope, bust Glocks 

Why you think we say, "Fuck cops?" 

'Cause when they lock us up all the fun stops 

And when the ice cream truck come to one stop 

So for the little babies all the fun stops 

And we post on the corner like the bus stop 

Waiting on the state bus 'til the cuffs lock 

They put shackles on us like jewelry, we say, "Fuck rock" 

'Cause all we ever wanted was to sell block 

To get a little real estate to sell blocks 

Until we got a little taste of cell blocks 

And try telling God when these cells lock, have mercy on me 

Touchdown, catch your case tryna sell rock 

You ain't wanna believe that hell's hot 

My mom she told me "You might as well stop" 

'Cause you can't ride your wave when the wells drop 

And your water's off and your bill's due 

And your shit stinks, smell like mildew 

Shit got wet all up and then left there 

'Cause them little nigga's done killed you, God damn 

I know you're watching over me (watching over me) 

But the devil's tryna take my soul (my soul) 

One day all my niggas'll be free (Oh yeah) 

I know you got your hand on me (hand on me) 

Cause the devil's tryna take my soul (my soul) 

One day all my niggas'll be free (oh yeah) 

They gave my dog life and I talked to him yesterday 

Talk to him every day 

He called me, he told me, he living through me 

Nigga, homie, don't ever say 

I told him I got him new lawyers and everything 

100K on the heavyweight 

'Cause it don't mean nothing, spend that on a presi face 

He took the charge and ain't ever say what we was doing 

Or how we was moving 

I'm talking that life, every night we was shooting 

Selling narcotics and ducking narcotics 

I duck in the alley, I do it elusive 

I could remember my momma in tears 

Me and my sister, no father was there 

Oodles and noodles turned me to a monster 

Now I'm screaming "Momma I got us this year" 

And every year after, now everyday's laughter 

No jail visits, no collect calls, we done put an end to that chapter 

On holiday, small island riding jet skis with the family 

I'm a hood nigga, I can't swim but that little fact it ain't stopping me 

I got yacht dreams, not rented, I double parked in that harbor 

That's drag racing for rich niggas and bad bitches at the cargo 

Woo, how fast your car go? Mine go two and change 

My drugs now got a barcode, now that's called moving things 

Sing! 

I know you're watching over me (watching over me) 

But the devil's tryna take my soul (my soul) 

One day all my niggas'll be free (oh yeah) 

I know you got your hand on me (hand on me) 

'Cause the devil's tryna take my soul (my soul) 

One day all my niggas'll be free (oh yeah) 

We don't choose the life we're given 

But just make the best out of what we're living 

Circumstance don't define you, your choices do 

You know what your biggest blessing is? Tomorrow 

'Cause the devil's tryna take my soul (my soul) 

One day all my niggas'll be free (oh)
