Keepin′ it G ain't nothin′ (hey)

You ain't gotta like it 'cause the hood gone love it (hey)You ain′t gotta like it ′cause the hood gone love it (hey)

Watch a young nigga show his ass out in public (hey hey)

I got the whole block bumpin' (hey)

You ain′t gotta like it 'cause the hood gone love it (hey)

You ain′t gotta like it 'cause the hood gone love it (hey)

Watch a young nigga show his ass out in public (hey hey)

Na, na, na, na, now, now you know what this is

Tell ′em it's a celebration, bitches

Where the barbeque pits and the mini-bikes

Mini-skirts, Hennessy's, and the Miller Lites

Domino tables, who got big six?

Where I′m from we do concrete back flips

Flip flop, flip flop, flip flop back

To the ghetto′s where I bring Hip Hop back

Real niggas love me, they tell me keep it pushin'

The only niggas be for waste out of central bullets

County jails and the lock downs up north

Said I should have it if Scarface pass the torch

That′s how they feel Jack, built much more than rap

This that project haircut in the cul-de-sac

This is where hoe's ain′t front you them boulders at

Meet your quota whenever I put a quote on a track, nigga

Keepin' it G ain′t nothin' (hey)

You ain't gotta like it ′cause the hood gone love it (hey)

You ain′t gotta like it 'cause the hood gone love it (hey)

Watch a young nigga show his ass out in public (hey hey)

I got the whole block bumpin′ (hey)

You ain't gotta like it ′cause the hood gone love it (hey)

You ain't gotta like it ′cause the hood gone love it (hey)

Watch a young nigga show his ass out in public (hey hey)

From Compton to Baltimore I'ma kill it, I buy a morgue in the minute

The public house, the plastic couch of a section they tint it

The Regal window is tinted

The air conditioner broke but I'm cool enough

To ensure you my ride isn′t Eskimo, huh?

And I peel off in the midst of gettin′ my clothes off

And I thrive off energies from the inner cities that we lost, huh?

I'm puttin′ the ghetto on top of my back and I live in the back of the jungle

Lions, tigers, bears, oh my

Hear the siren, walk up, drive by

Shooters, looters, federal fed intruders

The engines on back of scooters the real can recognise real

And we need to know just who you are

You are in the presence of many presents

Kendrick the gift for the future, oh yeah, I said it

Thug life, good kid mad city, mad respect

Representin' the hub right

Keepin′ it G ain't nothin′ (hey)

You ain't gotta like it 'cause the hood gone love it (hey)

You ain′t gotta like it ′cause the hood gone love it (hey)

Watch a young nigga show his ass out in public (hey hey)

I got the whole block bumpin' (hey)

You ain′t gotta like it 'cause the hood gone love it (hey)

You ain′t gotta like it 'cause the hood gone love it (hey)

Watch a young nigga show his ass out in public (hey hey)

The home girls tells me I′m the shit

I break them off so they can buy some outfits

I buy them sons a pack of peppers, some new joints

Give 'em the game, school 'em on what′s really important

It′s how I was raised, the OG's had me

Thirteen fresh off the porch, slangin′ cabby

But I'm wiser now, show all my young niggers

There′s other ways you get them dollars and funds nigga

Comin' down in an old school, so cool

Whip like a five bar call it so cool

You don′t know the tribulations that we go through

Put your ears to the speakers I'ma show you

I paint the picture so perfect

In my CD you see Mona Lisa in person

Courtesy of a hunnit beat

Got my Crips and esse's at arm reach, one one

Keepin′ it G ain′t nothin' (hey)

You ain′t gotta like it 'cause the hood gone love it (hey)

You ain′t gotta like it 'cause the hood gone love it (hey)

Watch a young nigga show his ass out in public (hey hey)

I got the whole block bumpin′ (hey)

You ain't gotta like it 'cause the hood gone love it (hey)

You ain′t gotta like it ′cause the hood gone love it (hey)

Watch a young nigga show his ass out in public (hey hey)
