Busted in the Hood Lyrics

Cypress Hill

Well, here′s a little story I got to tell
About a thugged out homie I know so well
It started way back when I was a teen
In the hood, on the corner, slangin' dope to fiends
Had a little stash, I could serve your need
You can do what you want, but I got weed for me
Ridin′ for my fam, tryin' to hit a grand
Crash unit on my ass, now I'm in demand

One lonely family I be
All in the hood, I got nobody

The sun is beatin′ down on my red golf hat
Pigs are roamin′ through the alley, so I gotta toss my gat
Forgot about the sack, lookin' for a place to hide
If they ask me for my name, shit, I′mma lie

One O.G. gangsta I be
Busted in the hood, I got no more weed
Pigs are comin' down on my gangsta stash
When they caught me with the weed and the dope and hash
He said a little somethin′, I wasn't so impressed
"No more runnin′ homie, now you're under arrest"
The sack was in my hand, felt like a sack of bricks
I swore he couldn't see it when I threw it in my whip
He said he wanted some, I said I don′t have none
Found it in the sun, on the floor next to my gun

Next thing I saw, were the guns to my head
Now the lead will make me dead, and yo, this is what he said
"My name is Sergeant Slacker with a license to kill
I think you know what time it is, it′s time to get real
Now what do we have here, a banger in his peers?"
He cuffed my hand, you understand, he threatened me with tears
Sorry motherfucker, had his gun out with a grin
You think the story's over, but it′s ready to begin

One O.G. gangsta I be
Busted in the hood, I got no more weed
Pigs are comin' down on my gangsta stash
When they caught me with the weed and the dope and hash

"Now I got your crack and most of your glue
You got a couple choices of what you can do
Better make the right decision if you know what I mean
You can do some time or fork over your green"
I said I got no green, he started lookin′ at me harder
I said I don't have nothin′, you can go fuck your daughter
He hit me with a fist, he hit me with the gat
He put the nightstick to my back, so

I think I'm done, the pigs got my gun
It isn't lookin′ good, I got ink on my thumb
Another pig walked in, said he′s playin' games
He gave another look at me, found out my false name

One O.G. gangsta I be
Busted in the hood, I got no more weed
Pigs are comin′ down on my gangsta stash
When they caught me with the weed and the dope and hash

Sittin' there pissed as I dwell in my cell
The place smells like shit in the county jail

Homie lookin′ at me like he seen me before
He started throwin' up a set, then he spit on the floor
I think "Hey yeah, yo, I know this kid

That′s the same motherfucker cocktailed my crib"
This dude said "Get ready", pulled a shank on me
I said "Come on homie, you a bit too sloppy"

Fool tried to stab me, socked him in the eye
The guards yelled "Give it up!" and let two fly
The guards sat down and we hit the floor
If you make a move after you won't move no more
He said "I see you once again, best protect your neck"
I said "Eat a dick from me, you don't get respect"
I said "You wanna come with it, any time and place
And I′ll leave you like Pacino with a scar on your face"
They put him in the hole, and all the bullshit stopped
But when his boy had beef, yeah, he got dropped

P.D. had no witness, D.A. dropped the load
I got probation for the gun, and the dope case closed

One O.G. gangsta I be
Busted in the hood, I got no more weed
Pigs are comin′ down on my gangsta stash
When they caught me with the weed and the dope and hash

One O.G. gangsta I be
Busted in the hood, I got no more weed
Pigs are comin' down on my gangsta stash
