Represent
Chingy featuring Ludacris & Snoop Dogg Lyrics

Throw yo hood up if you representin (Northside, Westside, Southside, Eastside)
Show your loyalty to your neighborhood if you come from any of the four directions (north, west, south, east).

All my fly day numbered, hustlas baby
I'm aware of the fleeting nature of life and I want to dedicate it to hustling.

Throw yo hood up if you representin' (Westside, Northside, Eastside, Southside)
If you're proud of your neighborhood, display it by throwing up your hood. It doesn't matter which direction you come from.

All my fly day numbered, gangstas baby
I know that our lives are limited, so I want to make the most of them by being a gangster.

Throw yo hood up if you representin'
If you're repping your hood, show it by throwing up your symbols.

Gangsta as a Cadillac DeVille wit fo's
I'm a real gangster and nothing represents it better than a Cadillac DeVille with four wheels.

This for all my thundercats that feel my flow
This song goes out to all the people who appreciate my rap lyrics and style.

To slang weight, my young guns will steal ya o's
My young gang members will sell drugs and steal your stash.

Catch a bellin down Lukerson & Hunt de-real a ho
If you're caught walking in the streets of Lukerson & Hunt, you'll get robbed and beat up.

In ya top piece, suburb mart, ya not street
You may be wearing expensive jewelry from the mall, but that doesn't mean you're streetwise.

I know fools from Wilson that'll whack ya, ya got beef
I have connections with dangerous people from Wilson who will attack you if you have a problem with them.

Used to go to Skate King back when bangin was in
I used to go to Skate King when banging was popular in the area.

And if the fiends ain't have 20, we would slang it for 10
If drug addicts didn't have enough money, we would sell the drugs to them for a lower price.

Drankin' the gin, posted on the corners at night
Drinking gin and hanging out on the street corners at night is a regular occurrence for us.

Sparkin pound while my homies in the street, slapped right
Smoking marijuana while my friends are on the street, looking tough and ready for a fight.

Ride bikes, patrolin' the hood, keepin' out cops
We ride bikes and patrol the neighborhood to make sure the cops don't catch us doing anything illegal.

Regals and drops, reppin' 'cause beak in my block
We're riding in nice cars like Regals and drops, because our neighborhood is known for being tough and we want to represent it.

Wild like rocks, my mentality got from my pops
I inherited my wild and tough mentality from my dad.

And saints, bustin back in '90 hope you got from the shots
My gang, the Saints, were involved in shooting back in 1990, and I hope you learned a lesson from it.

Put it down for the town and I gang wit us
I'm doing this to represent my town and to be part of my gang.

St. Louis did it derty, throw yo hood up did you know we from the. (Northside, Westside, Southside, Eastside)
St. Louis represented their neighborhood identities with pride and they want you to join in.

All my fly day numbered, playas baby
I know life is short, so I'm going to enjoy it by being a playa.

Throw yo hood up if you representin' (Eastside, Southside, Westside)
Represent your neighborhood by throwing up your hood, no matter which direction you come from.

All my fly day numbered, thugs baby
I know my days are limited, so I'm going to embrace my thuggish tendencies.

Tity-Boi, Southside
I am Tity Boi, representing the Southside.

Bad limp, fo' 5's on the hip
I have a bad limp and I'm carrying two guns.

Don't know why I'm known to slip when I get high
I don't know why I tend to slip up and make mistakes when I'm high.

One time but no more, won't sleep until the mornin'
I've only made one mistake, but I won't make another one and I won't sleep until morning.

Somebody need to take the trash out and I'ma do the chores
Someone needs to clean up the streets and I'm willing to do the work.

Softer than a cactus, put it on like actors
Some people act tough, but they're really soft inside.

Hustle in the shadows on the bricks and they couldn't catch us
We're hustling in the shadows, dealing drugs, and the cops can't catch us.

Gat still tucked, in my waist by my price time
I'm carrying a gun in my waistband, ready to use it if necessary.

'cause my chain hang so low my tongue bang wit my pipe line
My chain is hanging so low that it's hitting my tongue when I talk, and I'm proud of it.

Walk around, all day wit this beam like it's night time
I'm walking around all day with a gun like it's nighttime, always ready for danger.

You can see em a mile away, but it'll touch ya from blind side
You can see my guns from far away, but you won't see the danger coming.

Flipped it, first to finsh to the car, that's a nice ride
I've flipped my money and was the first to finish, so I can finally buy a nice car.

Dig it, they spin they puchase round here they get kite high
People get high on drugs that they bought from us.

Deal it, it's my description, my picture, my composure plot
I'm describing myself and my personality traits and my plan for success.

This is how I get through 2 d's, niggaz!
This is how I survive living in the two D's, or dangerous neighborhoods.

My side we ride my crew's, iller, iller!
My gang is the toughest and we ride together.

Who done bust through the vapon yeah I'm hopin' to fight
Whoever just stormed in with their gun, I'm prepared to fight them.

Start a brawl, I'll shut that bitch down on openin' night
If you start a fight, I'll be the one to end it on the first night.

Let's fate, pull the bitches titties start on them dipes
Let's get lucky, grab some women's breasts, and start a party.

Cause we leavin' wit some hoes and yeah we startin' wit dykes
We're leaving with some women, and we're starting with some lesbians.

Bet a thousand, shoot a thousand if you holdin' that bank
If you have a lot of money, I'm willing to bet a thousand and shoot a thousand in hopes of winning it.

I got the game on lock, you barely a holdin' tank
I'm the master of the game, while you're just a beginner.

Get drunk, get to shootin bust the whole club out
When I get drunk, I start shooting and cause chaos in the whole club.

Us thugs out, I'm tryin' to dumb out, 'til I get drunk out
We, the thugs, are trying to relax and have a good time until we're too drunk to function.

That's just the way I am, don't look down on me
I'm just being true to myself, so don't judge me.

My gun's a open bar, free rounds on me
I'm always carrying a gun, and I'm willing to use it for free.

And I'm an eastside nigga so I ain't no punk
I'm from the Eastside, and I'm not a coward.

I make the crowd get it crunk and do the eastside stomp
I'm able to hype up the crowd and get them excited, making them do the Eastside stomp dance.

Young Chingy let em know, that the deal is a fool
I, young Chingy, want to make it clear that I'm a force to be reckoned with.

And I'm a carpenter's dream, I'm in love wit the tools
I'm so good with my guns and weapons that I'm a carpenter's dream.

Lay low when the heat bust, off in the air
When there's danger, I hide and wait for it to pass.

DTP, Cris squad and we runnin' this herre, it go
I'm part of the DTP (Disturbing Tha Peace) and the Cris squad, and we're running things around here.
