The Wood
Watching soft porn with Cindy
In our basement living room
We're taking snappers from granddaddy
Just doin’ what we do
In a town called Inglewood
Well most folks would be afraid
But to us, it's no big deal
Just a typical kind of day

In the hood! (Wanna play craps?)

Well, there's gangsters but they’re friendly
Because of my puppy
I learned on this side of Crenshaw
It's wear blue territory
And shopping was a rip off
When I lived on the west side
Over here it's way cheaper
And I'm blaming it on the blight

In the hood!
In the hood!
I'm not looking for an award
The only white girl on my block and I'm not bored
Eh, no, I'm not a hipster, it's all I can afford
In the hood!

The ice cream trucks competing
With their songs throughout the day
And on weekends there are three
No tune they play’s the same
Every home’s got barred up windows
And pets they don't adore
I rescued a sightless kitten every other fuck ignored

In the hood!

In the hood!
You never want to point or stare
In the hood!
Just find your set and you’ll fit in
Unless you're some kind of poser with no street credit
In the hood!

It's where I live!
