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 u a visit 

Comin up in da hood where the streets are cold

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 
That's why I chose to be a mic-checka 
What you gon' do? 
You gon' ball? 
You gon' fall? 
Let em knock u into walls? 
Leave you dead in a hall 
Or you gon' keep hanging in the streets with your crew 
Don't ask me cuz I know what I'm a do 

But what you gon' do? 
Buy the solos with the dodo's and nogo's and fofo's 
In choke holds after getting chased by the po po's 
You gon' ride solo or is you gon' group it? 
Or is you gon' think before you start being stupid

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 eachothers socks 
or do you wanna go somewhere 
A life to try to live 
And see about a hundred 
Making money, taking trips

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 aint funny, I aint runnin 
Hopin from place to place like a bunny kinda sunny 
Phone on my waist vibrate cuz it's 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!
