Been in the ghetto for most of my life
Spend most of my nights up under street lights
Posted at the corner store still getting dough
Or at the studio being late for a show
I'm Hollyhood (I'm Hollyhood)
My dreams I chased 'em and I caught 'em
And shit I would've gave your door a kick before I bought 'em
Sleeping from house to house now I can condo and loft 'em
Yeah nigga my own shit
Respect your mind but shit that shit be riding my own dick
With plans to be the man before I even became one
Shot a nigga with the same gun, we went on a bank run
Hopping over counters making weight with your savings
Without a single gun blazing
Just easy as taking candy from a baby
Maybe this ain't the way to get rich
Gotta get this dirty money through the wash then rinse
Been in the ghetto ever since I can remember
But I ain't tryna leave this here bitch how I entered
Take a nigga out the hood but the hood is still in ya
Wiggle through the system yeah I pimped her
And guess where I sent her
To Hollywood big bright lights and stars
But under all the glitz and glamour shit you know who you are
Hollyhood
Been in the ghetto for most of my life
Spend most of my nights up under street lights
Posted at the corner store still getting dough
Or at the studio being late for a show
I'm Hollyhood (I'm Hollyhood)
Nothin' but gangstas and gangsterettes in my fambam
Growing up on 54th and Brooklyn saw it all man
Soldier shoot it out like Iraq and Afghanistan
Crack games, drug transactions, hella hand-to-hands
Luxury cars, wet houses and crack spots
Kick in vans, raids, chronic close down shop
Brandy left the block in '95 for the 'burbs
Gave the house to my auntie, I stayed with her
Attended Southeast Middle after school I played the curb
Got expelled forced to repeat sixth grade at Irving
Fresh from the inner city to the south suburban
By now had my mind made up, fuck learning
For eight hours a day, I'd rather be serving
Far from a wise decision but I was earning
Flipping social security checks, fuck working
A regular job, I'm not a regular person
I'm Hollyhood
Been in the ghetto for most of my life
Spend most of my nights up under street lights
Posted at the corner store still getting dough
Or at the studio being late for a show
I'm Hollyhood (I'm Hollyhood)
It's the root of all evil
Still people can't live without it though won't lie about it
My world revolves around counting dough and counting more
'Cause nothing's free, not even funerals
Or doctor bills after your birth
Down at communion at church
Which hurts when life is only getting worse
And this recession got it hard to find work
A nine-to-five or the kind that you supply on the turf
That's why us '80s babies and these '
90S babies feel like we gotta do dirt
I'm Hollyhood
From the hood to Hollywood and then back again
Pray to God I don't have to go back to slanging crack again
But a figure gotta do what he have to when he after
A jack, a hustler and a rapper and one trapper
Shit, talkin' caught her on the sidewalk I'ma mack her
Got a Benz out of it have to cuss her or slap her
Maybe a few times, gotta have a few grinds
Shit I live that life not once but twice nigga that's two times
What it is
Been in the ghetto for most of my life
Spend most of my nights up under street lights
Posted at the corner store still getting dough
Or at the studio being late for a show
I'm Hollyhood (I'm Hollyhood)
