The story you're about to see, occurred along the main Trading route, on the border between the North and South At a small outpost called Red Clay Village.
This story takes place on a trading route between the North and South, at a small outpost called Red Clay Village.

What the fuck y'all niggas thought, huh? What you thinkin' bitch? Are you stupid son, must be stupid kid What the fuck is wrong? It's the Wu bitch Ain't got a clue bitch, tie ya shoe bitch Get the fuck back, 'fore we break a f, listen Tryin' to tell y'all niggas, give you a fair warnin' Just a chance to live, so you can see ya kids Yo son nah, before I split ya wig I'd rather feed you this, but you ain't wanna eat it So now you got to feel it!
You guys better listen up and back the fuck off. Wu Tang is here and you don't want to mess with us. We're giving a fair warning so you can still go home to your families, but if you don't listen, we'll have to resort to violence. We'd rather not, but you brought this upon yourself.

Yo what the, yo Let me fuck it one more time then y'all can fuck Y'know how we do it in the hood Yo, yeah, turn the mic up, yeah, yo
Hold on a second, let me make sure the microphone is ready. Alright, now let's get this show on the road. You know how we do it in the hood, let's get hyped.

Y'all niggas better rock y'all hoodies Take money snatch jewelry, in the hood You find the best woman lookin' good Diamond she need polishin'
Keep your hoodies on tight, cause we're out here to steal. In the hood, we know where to find the best-looking women and the shiniest jewels.

In my hood, all the gunshot legal At the same time we gotta stop killin' our people Keep it in the hood, niggas walk with they gun Keep it in the hood that's where we come from
In this neighborhood, everything is allowed including gunshots. However, we also need to stop killing our own people. It's where we come from, so keep the guns in the hood where they belong.

I rep Brooklyn, home of the gangsta I know a few murderer, drug dealer In the hood, we speak mathematics and build What's the total weight of the brain, Allah real Slang jacks and hold gats, in the hood, 80 proof Get my dick sucked on the roof of the projects Dice game in the park, blunt sessions after dark Movin' with the Wesson Welcome to the God we build and drop a lesson Pussy hole testin', in the hood Got the word from the hoodrat, shorty on the wood Murder, bad boy ya block off ah Murder, rude boy ya pop off ah Murder, nine millimeter me say Murder, no time fi talk, one fi Murder, men an' dem ah talk 'bout di Murder, Masta Killa come calm wit nying Nying, nying, nying, nying, nying Nying, nying, nying, nying, nying, me say murder
I represent Brooklyn, known for its gangsters. As a part of the hood, we're skilled in math and building. We have slang for guns and we drink 80 proof. We do things that are considered immoral, such as having sex on the roof of the projects, gambling in the park, and smoking weed at night. We're here to teach and live life on our own terms. We hear a lot of talk about murder and violence in the hood, but it's time to calm down and go back to our roots.

Hey yo, we boys in the hood, big bad wolves in the woods It ain't all good, pass the goods Deep in the project halls waitin' to shine Walk with a nine and talk with gang signs
We're the boys in the hood, and we're like big bad wolves in the woods. It's not all good here, but we still make the best of it. We're waiting for our moment to shine, and we make sure to always carry our guns and communicate through gang signs.

In the hood, niggas put twenty on Hoopties Four heads, one forty ounce and a loosie And keep dough on the flip, a hoe on the strip And roll dick throw on the flip
In the hood, we put $20 on our beat-up cars, we share 40 ounce beers between four people, and we always have money on the side. Our women work as prostitutes and we have casual sex.

Weed clouds thick enough to block the sun Cops come, but thugs never drop the gun, understood? Far from ya Hollywood From day one, I vowed I would keep it in the hood
The weed smoke in the hood is so thick that it could block the sun. When the cops show up, we don't back down, we just hold onto our guns tighter. We're far from Hollywood, and from the very beginning, I've made a promise to always keep it real in the hood.

From project chicks with hips and slim waists From five dollar plates apartment six-eighths O.G, I spit G to the young ones I keep it in the hood that's where I come from
I come from a place where women have great bodies and we eat cheap meals in our small apartments. I'm an OG and I pass my wisdom down to the younger generation. I always keep it real and stay true to my roots in the hood.

This is the place where thugs is born, in the hood Blink to long ya life is gone, in the hood Convicts still live with they mom And they whole family tree is tattooed on they arm, in the hood Crack fiend'd furnish a 'Llac, in the hood African's be drivin cabs, in the hood In the streets the ghetto is hot And the illest gangsters, on the block with cops, in the hood The ones you love'll fill you with slugs, in the hood Babies born addicted to drugs, in the hood We make life or death decisions And the school system is like a minimal prison So you can't knock the hustle or the life that I'm livin In the hood, it ain't all good, repent or you sinnin [Repeat: x2]
The hood is where thugs are born, and if you blink, you might lose your life. Even convicts still live with their moms and have their family tree tattooed on their arms. The ghetto is a hot place, filled with the toughest gangsters and cops. You can be betrayed by those you love, and babies are born addicted to drugs. We have to make tough decisions and the schooling system is like a prison, so you can't judge us for the way we live. In the hood, things aren't always good, so we must repent for our sins.
