Original song: "My Hood" by Young Jeezy.

lyrics

(Chorus)
Every time I do it, I do it for my hood and
every time I do it, I do it for your hood and
every time I do it, I do it for they hood…
it’s understood, I do it for the hood,
back to the gym where I do it for my hood, and
mat to the floor where I do it for your hood, but
black people say I don’t do it for the hood,
misunderstood, I do it for the hood…

The streets hate Deezy, I love them, though,
and if they ever change their mind, I’ll spit them a flow,
it’s all love, still tipping when I swerve,
and kick some real shit these other niggas never heard -
take you back when I was 19, with some Mad Rocks,
strapped them bitches on over some black socks,
…they used to call me Black Panther,
“Soldiers of the Wasteland” steady was my anthem,
and everybody in the wall knew I stayed a setter,
busting from January to the end of December,
wasn’t smoking purple then, it was more like 2012,
when I hit up Horse Pens, back when it was hot as hell,
(98 degrees, nigga!) you know how 40 goes,
climb 6 at the gym, get shut down on a 4,
even when on the road, my homies stay in touch,
why the fuck you think I love them so much??


(Chorus)

Driving down to ‘Bama, bumping Eminem,
with some pretzel M&M’s, now we stopping at a Marathon,
Ford Escape pull up, everybody run,
my homeboy jumped out, bought some chewing gum,
the flavor was grape, said he bought me a pack - hey,
hope you didn’t do it just cause I’m black,
real recognize real, I suppose…
I guess that’s why the climbers be at all my shows,
since the job, a lot changed, and it shows,
but you still catch me messing with them bunnies in the snow (with my white chicks)
…like the Wayans brothers,
same answer every time, always get me in trouble,
so yeah, niggas stay talking, and they all gonna hate,
claim I sold out, I’m white, and claim I might be gay, (I’m not)
but one thing they’ll never be able to say,
is that I didn’t rep these streets every single day…(hey!)

(Chorus)

Ford Escape pull up, everybody run,
my homeboy jumped out, bought some chewing gum,
flavor was grape, said he bought me a pack - hey,
hope you didn’t do it just cause I’m black.
