[Intro]
Every hoods the same [x2]

[Chorus] [x2]
They give us guns and drugs
Then wonder why the fuck we thugs
They wanna count the slugs
You cant come around here and not fuck wid us

[Verse 1]
I'm from the land of the gangbangs
Since i was little aint a god damn thang change
Its the same ol same
Push my shit like saddam hussien
I cock and aim, clinically insane
To deal wid this bullshit day to day
If i sell some yay
I smoke some hay
You bitches wanna throw me up in Pelican's bay
Call me an animal, up in the system

Well who's the animal that built this prison
Who's the animal that invented lord livin
The projects, thank god for Russel Simmons
Thank god for sugar hill
Im puttin different kind of still up to my grill
Yall know what it is
Scared for your own kids
How these ghetto niggaz takin over show biz

[chorus] [x2]

It's boys in da hood
It's toys in da hood
Yall wanna know why there's noise in the hood
Cause theres drugs in the hood,
Thugs in da hood,
Nigga count the crips and the bloods in da hood
Cause when niggas tried boy

Sing with the song of Ice Cube, Why We Thugs lyrics!

It's all about survival
And nobody liable
I got caught by five-o
Grandmama came to court wid her bible
But when the judge hit the gavel
Now and forever for my family to travel (fuck)
i just came unraveled,
slapped the DA before i got gaffeled
owned by CA, state property
Just like they did in 1553
Lookin for me, a one way ticket out
Don't understand whats so hard to figure out

[Chorus] [x2]

Damn
I can't take the pressure
Pulled a fo-fo up out the dresser
Grabbed a [?], up out the closet
Popo comin but i'm scared to toss it
Yall know what happened last time i lost it
Can't tell you niggas what the fuckin boss did
20 years for what
Breakin these laws that so corrupt
Takin these halls and fillin them up
Some powder keg shit thats about to erupt
Hey yall im about to be stuck
Until the year 2000 what the fuck
In the hood, don't pressure luck
Cause the motherfuckers will set you up

[chorus] [x2]

[Outro]

Every hood's the same [x5]
Stop trippin on me
Every hood's the same [x5]

Artist Information

Name:	O'Shea Jackson
Profile:	Ice Cube began his career with the notorious gangsta rap group N.W.A. He broke away at the height of their national notoriety. On his initial solo release, 1990's Amerikkka's Most Wanted, Ice Cube injected virulent political and cultural rhetoric that stepped above N.W.A's gangbanging braggadocio. Ice Cube squashed the bi-coastal rap rivalry and collaborated with New York's hip-hop heavyweights Public Enemy. Their production team, the Bomb Squad, produced Amerikkka's Most Wanted. Ice Cube became a lightning rod for attracting attacks from rock critics and moralists for his lyrical content. Time has shown that the ruthless words and pointed imagery on both Amerikkka's Most Wanted and 1991's pre-LA riots Death Certificate were not included for shock-value. The message construed in his rhymes presaged Los Angeles's incendiary reaction to the outcome of the Rodney King trial. America was now listening to Ice Cube. Death Certificate debuted at #1 on the R&B Album chart and #2 on the Top 200 Album chart. In 1992, Ice Cube continued his vocal incursion into suburban America with a role in John Singleton's epic film on South Central LA, Boyz In The Hood and by touring on the second Lollapalooza. His next release, The Predator, galvanized him as the premiere multi-platinum West Coast hip-hop G. It debuted at #1 on both the R&B and Top 200 Album charts. The Predator was an epilogue to the LA riots and while "It Was A Good Day" provides a hassle-free moment in a Compton day, there is still dissonance in Ice Cube's America. 1993's Lethal Injection sees Ice Cube morphing into his "Don Mega" persona that permeates his War & Peace albums and projects with Westside Connection. These first four albums set him up for his later successes. In addition to his War & Peace two-album series, Ice Cube has recently starred in The Friday After Next, the 3rd installment of his multi-million dollar earning Friday movie franchise, Player's Club and the critically praised Barbershop.
