In the Hood
Doctor P & Flux Pavilion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Power
You there
Get out of the truck and put your hands in the air
Stand on one leg
With the tip of your finger touch the tip of your nose
Rub your stomach and pat your head while saying
"It's not an easy skill to learn"
You there
Get out of the truck and put your hands in the air
Now in a circular motion
Rub your stomach and pat your head while saying
"It's not an easy skill to learn"
Damn
Power
You there
Get out of the truck and put your hands in the air
Stand on one leg
With the tip of your finger touch the tip of your nose
Now in a circular motion
Rub your stomach and pat your head while saying
"It's not an easy skill to learn"
You there
Get out of the truck and put your hands in the air
Now in a circular motion
Rub your stomach and pat your head while saying
"It's not an easy skill to learn"
The lyrics of Doctor P and Flux Pavilion's song "In The Hood" illustrate a scene of police brutality and aggression towards a citizen. The power dynamics between the police and the citizen are clear in the commands given by the officers instructing the individual to perform various physical balancing feats, while at the same time reciting a phrase emphasizing the difficulty of the task. These commands evoke a feeling of absurdity and a sense of the officers demanding complete subservience from the individual. The usage of the phrase "in the hood" further emphasizes the oppressive and violent nature of the scenario, as it implies a location where police brutality is the norm.
Additionally, the repetition of the word "power" throughout the song signals the overwhelming presence and control the police hold over the individual. The song can be interpreted and viewed as a commentary on the ongoing struggle for equality and justice in the face of aggressive and oppressive policing tactics.

It's definitely "It's not an easy skill to learn" because he's talking about patting your head and rubbing your tummy.
