[Hook: Jay Rock]
Keeping it G ain't nuttin, you ain't gotta like it cause the hood gone love it

You ain't gotta like it cause the hood gone love it
Watch a young ^!$$% show his $$# out in public
I got the whole block bumpin

You ain't gotta like it cause the hood gone love it
You ain't gotta like it cause the hood gone love it
Watch a young ^!$$% show his $$# out in public


[VERSE 1: Jay Rock]
Na na na na now now you know what this is

Tell em its a celebration (*##$es
With the barbeque pits and the mini-bikes
Mini-skirts, Hennessys, and the Miller Lights

Domino tables, who got big 6?
Where I'm from we do concrete backflips
Flip flop flip flop flip flop back

To the ghetto's where I bring hip hop back
Real ^!$$%s love me, they tell me keep it pushin
The only ^!$$%s be for waste out of central bullets

County jails and the lock downs up north
Said I should have it if Scarface pass the torch
Thats how they feel Jack, built much more than rap

This that project haircut in the culdesac
This is where ho's ain't front you them boulders at
Meet your quota whenever I put a quote on a track

[VERSE 2: Kendrick Lamar]
From Compton to Baltimore I'mma kill it
I buy a morgue in a minute

The public house, the plastic couch of a section 8 tenant
The Regal window is tinted
The air conditioner broke but I'm cool enough to ensure you my ride is an Eskimo, huh?

And I peel off in the midst of getting my clothes off
And I thrive off energies from the inner cities that we lost, huh?
I'm putting the ghetto on top of my back

And I live in the back of the jungle
Lions, tigers, bears, oh my
Hear the siren, walk up, [*gunshot* *gunshot*] drive by

Shooters, looters, federal fed intruders
The engines on back of scooters
The real can recognize real and we need to know just who you are

You are in the presence of many presents
Kendrick the gift for the future oh yeah I said it
Thug life, good kid mad city mad respect representin the hood right

[VERSE 3 Jay Rock]
The home girls tells me I'm the %#@!
I break them off so they can buy some outfits

I buy them sons a pack of peppers, some new joints
Give em the game, school em on whats really important
It's how I was raised, the og's had me

13 fresh off the porch, slangin' cabby
But I'm wiser now, show all my young !@$@s
There's other ways you get them dollars and funds ^!$$%s

Coming down in an old school, co cool
Whip like a 5 bar call it so cool
You don't know the tribulations that we go through

Put your ears to the speakers I'mma show you
I paint the picture so perfect
In my cd you see Mona Lisa in person

Courtesy of a hunnit beat
Got my crips and esse's at arm reach, 1 1
