[Intro] Right right right right right right Here we go, for the hood
[Verse 1] You ever feel that rush running through your veins The rush, the blood, the blood is the beat it can't be contained The bones is the drums, the fingers the snare, the skin is the strings The ribs the guitar, itchin' while I sing, itchin' while I rap Foot is the kick, my tongue's the auto-tuned violin My brain is the mic, I be talkin' to myself Cause I don't know what I be sayin' half of the time I just be feelin' a certain way out of my mind
[Hook] You see I come from a rough background (background) But I did it and represented, did it and represented Did it and represented for my for my for my homehood For my for my for my for my for my homehood You see I come from a rough background (background) But I did it and represented for my for my for my homehood Did and represented, did it and represented For my for my for my for my whole hood
[Verse 2] Hood superhero chameleon, chains with my cape on
From a baller to a rapper, rapper with my cape on I've been infected with this disease called passion You could see it on my sleeve you could hear it when I'm rappin' Smell it when I'm sweatin', feel it when I'm cryin' If I don't make music I'm probably dyin' I go back in the studio and breathe life in me Make another track, that's right, vitamins for me Nutrients be the thoughts goin' through my brain The antidote for me, I'm special in this paint
[Hook]
[Verse 3] People ask me why I rap, well why you listen to music? Why you rap? Why you don't rap? Why you botherin' me, stupid? Why your pops drop you on your head? Ask him a question Why my pops dropped me on my head? Cause I'm real reckless Had no choice but to discipline me Beat my motherfuckin' ass and put a good whoopin' to me But it made me a better man I could've been crazy like Eminem's fan, Stan Actually I feel like Stan Cause I be rallyin' motherfuckers like that Kimbo man
