D~boy Mobtana & Rip Da Great - Still Hood Lyrics

I've been down bad but I'm still good
Coped a new school but the wheel still wood
Still running with my day 1s know I still should
Made a pretty penny out my city but I'm still hood
I've been down bad but I'm still good
Coped a new school but the wheel still wood
I be running with my day 1s know I still should
Made a pretty penny out my city but I'm still hood

I've been down bad but I'm still blessed
I keep my faith when I feel stressed
Been thru a lot tell me what's next
Never fail I got to prevail when I get test
God made me a good nigga; Prichard made me a hood nigga
Quarters in a wishing well I wished you would nigga
No more cell block, I went legit no selling rock
I paid my debt so now I just wait on my checks to hit my mailbox
Now my wife good and all my kids great
My mama out da hood and my friend's straight
No more ramen noodle all I want is steak
I'm going to continue to mount until my account look like bill gates
I got a small circle all I only need is a few
I rather have a bigger house than a bigger crew
Now I got 'em looking at me with a bitter view
Saying that they need me but never was around when I need you
But it's all hood I won't even sweat it
Your mind will drive you crazy but I won't let it
Mobtana making moves and you better bet it
Bossed up sauce up been to a thousand islands just to count lettuce
Diamonds on my wrist and in the car grill
In my new school swerving with the wood steering wheel
Getting cash out da ass since my minor year
Gator Made getting paid and I ain't even sign a deal

I've been down bad but I'm still good
Coped a new school but the wheel still wood
Still running with my day 1s know I still should
Made a pretty penny out my city but I'm still hood
I've been down bad but I'm still good
Coped a new school but the wheel still wood
I be running with my day 1s know I still should
Made a pretty penny out my city but I'm still hood

Thank god I made it I know my hater really hate it
I'm young black and educated so I got em intimidated
You say D~Boy ain't getting money that's a f*cking understatement
Because you can't take a gator out the swamp and try to domesticate it
All my due I added up count it up and I paid it full
I remember trapping in da breezeway as a youngin' was getting paid at school
Couple niggas tried to play me like a pussy but I played it cool
Daddy taught me to play my cards right and never play da fool
I been down bad but never down in out
People talking down and bad about me but I drown em out
Now I'm getting cash on they ass look, who's clowning now
And if you having trouble saying I'm the man then bitch sound it out
F*ck the rest, I'm da best, hands down pound for pound
If you thinking different put your hands up let's go round for round
I'm the total package although I come with a lot of baggage
Everything in my life that was tragic, only turn me into a savage
Same panther party just changed the theme
The same movie just changed the scenes
Can't take away everything, they don't want you to fly so they clip your wings
It was their choice to take away your voice so they can't hear you sing
Want me to be a slave but before my grave, I'll remain a king
So, I better be, the one that they pay bread to see
And on top of my head will be, the crown that my leaders left for me
You can destroy my future but you can't change my legacy
So that means I'm bred to be a king and I'm still hood though

I've been down bad but I'm still good
Coped a new school but the wheel still wood
Still running with my day 1s know I still should
Made a pretty penny out my city but I'm still hood
I've been down bad but I'm still good
Coped a new school but the wheel still wood
I be running with my day 1s know I still should
Made a pretty penny out my city but I'm still hood
