Keeping it G ain't nuttin, you ain't gotta like it cause the hood gone love it

Verse 1: Jay Rock
Na na na na now now you know what this is
Tell em it's 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
That's 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'm a 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 what's 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'm a 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
