All Good
H.C.U. Gangstas Lyrics

Put me off in any hood, I bet chu' I'ma survive
No matter where I'm dropped off, I have the skills to survive in any neighborhood

365 reasons to stay alive
There's always a reason to keep pushing and stay alive, every day of the year

In this jungle, lies be the king of these streets
In this dangerous neighborhood, deceit and dishonesty reign supreme

But even the lies be runnin' from the crooked police
Even the falsehoods and dishonesty are afraid of the corrupt police presence

It ain't no peace cause they got the hood split up in sections
There's no peace because the neighborhood is divided into different sections, each with their own rules and allegiances

Violate the wronge set and they comin' with techs
If you cross the wrong section or gang, they'll come after you with deadly weapons

There ain't no questions be asked, no bullies gettin' mad
No one asks questions, and the bullies won't take kindly to your defiance

Just killers on a task, and units bein' blast
Only killers are tasked with carrying out acts of violence, and guns are constantly fired

With no remorse, I done seen it plenty of times
I've witnessed these violent acts countless times and the perpetrators feel no remorse

So I take it to my room and write plenty of rhymes
To cope with the violence and pain of my surroundings, I turn to writing and express myself through music

About the dirty game, thangs ain't the same no mo'
My songs reflect the harsh reality of the dangerous game that is life in the neighborhood, which has changed a lot

They try to stick together, just ain't what they claim no mo'
People claim to be united, but in reality, they are divided and only look out for themselves

So hit the floor when they hit the door, give up them sacks
When the gang members come barging in, you better drop to the ground and give them your drugs or money

Everybody's got a posse so they robbin' in packs
Everyone has a gang of their own, and they commit robberies together

On the attack and they keep gun runnin' like wood
They are constantly on the offensive and have no shortage of guns to use

And respect is something that chu' gotta earn in the hood
Respect is only given to those who have earned it through deeds and actions in the neighborhood

It's all good in my neighborhood
Despite the violence and danger, life goes on in the neighborhood

We out hustlin' doin' thangs y'all wish y'all could
We're out here making money and doing things that others wish they could do, even though it's risky

We in this game, gettin' money and we livin' good
We're in this game of life in the neighborhood, making money and living well

Stayin' real to the end like we know we should
We stay true to ourselves and our values until the very end

It's all about the money, gettin' paid is an every day job
The main focus of our lives is making money, it's what we do every day

And we connected, makin' moves like a heavyweight mob
We're well-connected and we make big moves together like a powerful organized crime syndicate

And well respected, the hood is gonna make you or break you
In the neighborhood, your reputation and standing with others can make or break your success and safety

And livin' and learnin' through all the drama that it'll take you
We learn and grow as we endure the constant drama and danger of life in the neighborhood

Keep you focused on reality, deep in the thoughts
Living in this reality keeps us constantly aware and deep in thought about our lives and surroundings

Tryin' to count for every penny that you keep in the vault
We work hard to keep track of every penny we earn and save, to protect ourselves and our wealth

So keep your yoks and still watch ya back
Keep your eyes and ears open, while still being cautious and aware of your surroundings

Cause in the hood your own friends will be the one to jack
Even your own friends can turn on you and steal from you in the neighborhood

Knowin' crosses is comin' throughout my whole nature
We always know that danger could be around the corner, it's part of our nature

Takin' losses and dealin' with all this play hation
We take losses and have to handle the hate and drama that comes with life in the neighborhood

Steady chasin' that cheese and hangin' out with G's
We're constantly pursuing money and hanging out with fellow gangsters

Fuck what cha' sayin' bout gankin' and doin' robberies
We don't care what others say about us committing crimes like robbery and theft

I'm just tryin' to survive and keep myself alive
Almost everything we do is in order to stay alive and survive in the neighborhood

See I'm all about hustlin' can't work no 9 to 5
We're all about hustling and earning money through our own means, we can't work a typical 9-to-5 job

I'm stay thuggish not ruggish off in that hood
We keep a tough and aggressive attitude in the dangerous, rough neighborhood

Steady tryin' to maintain and keep the paper good
We're always working hard and trying to maintain our wealth and earnings

You gotta watch ya back cause them killers be havin' jacks
We're always on high alert because the killers in the neighborhood are constantly armed and dangerous

They travel in packs and they quick to pull them gats
The killers in the neighborhood travel in groups and are quick to fire their guns

Ain't no time for negotiatin'
There's no time to negotiate with these dangerous individuals, their minds are made up

Just give up for good, look at the occupation
We know that giving up our money or drugs is our only option, especially considering the profession of those holding us up

I run in numbers before the drama even kicks off
We always have backup ready in case of drama or danger in order to stay safe

Duckin' and dodgin' from all them shots they done let off
We're constantly avoiding gunfire and trying to dodge bullets

Robbin', murder and madness but still the paper's good
Despite the rampant crime and violence in the neighborhood, money is still flowing for the successful

Ya see depression, deprivin' can drive ya mind insane
The constant depression and deprivation can make someone insane in the neighborhood

I'm trapped in this game and it ain't one way out
We feel trapped in the game of life in the neighborhood, with no clear escape or path to safety

I strugglin' and strivin' to keep my pockets stout
We're constantly struggling and working hard to keep our wallets full and our earnings high

See I'm tryin' to stay Southern, ain't no love for cowards
We try to stay true to our southern roots and values, but there's no love for those who are seen as weak or cowardly in this neighborhood

On the block steady hustlin' and don't cha' doubt us
We're always hustling and working hard on the streets, don't doubt us for a second

I'm always down for my hood like I know I should
We're always there for our neighborhood and our fellow gangsters, it's our duty and responsibility

Gettin' plenty of money like I knew I could
We're earning lots of money like we always knew we could, thanks to our constant hustle and determination
