Woop, woop
That’s the sound of the police in my hood

Audemar on my wrist, diamonds look like they glowing (huh)
50 stacks all singles, I make it look like its snowing (huh)
Black unmarked cars, gotta peep how they playin’
Treat ‘em like jack boys, catch ‘em slippin’ then slay ‘em
Lord forgive me for my sins, that’s my confession
If they put me in this Benz, I got possession of a federal offense
I’m talking pressure in my criminal intent (huh)
So wear ya vest’s and i’m still gon’ stunt, like it ain’t no tomorrow
F*ck ya house note nigga, blow that bitch on a bottle
The Ferrari just a front, got the Lambo in the back (rozay)
Tell you “we the best forever”, dj Khaled handle that (rozay)

Welcome to my hood
Everybody know everybody

Woop, woop (Lego)
That’s the sound of the police in my hood

I know some niggas from my hood that would Rob Noriega
I’m talkin’ Noriega, nigga the real Noriega
If you ain’t from the hood, bitch then stop impersonating us
And tell congress when you see ‘em, bitch I'm stealin’ cable
And leave the d-boys alone cause they motivate us
And why is there half of my whole hood on papers
Some of ‘em on house arrest, some of ‘em on child support
Some of ‘em did they biz, the other half waiting to go to court
Mr. landlord we gon’ bust your ass with an eviction note
Better have the police with your dog if you came to repo
I’m talking strip clubs, I'm talking liquor stores
We throw our money round here, but y’all can…

Welcome to my hood
Everybody know everybody (yeah)
And if I got it everybody got it
Uhh, welcome to my hood (uh huh)

Welcome to my hood (Lil snack I see you)
Them boys will put you down on your knees
Woop, woop (i’m goin in’)
That’s the sound of the police in my hood (uh)

Bitch I'm on probation, so my nerves bad
And they say time fly’s, well mine’s first class
I landed in the sky, I fell from the streets
I talk a lot of shit and practice what I preach
Back from hell, cell 23
Tell the warden kiss my ass, pockets on Monique
Bitch I'm from the murder capital
Hoe I'm far from practical
Shit happens and since I'm the shit, I'm who it happen to
Young money, cash money, blood bitch, I'm red hot
I don’t see nobody, see no body like a head shot
All that bullshit is for the birds, throw some bread out
Got it sewn up, check the thread count

Welcome to my hood
Everybody know everybody (uh)
And if I got it everybody got it (young mula baby)
Uhh, welcome to my hood (haha)
Look at all these old school chevy’s
24′s so you know we roll heavy (ymcmb)
Uhh, welcome to my hooooddd
They outside playing hopscotch (khaled I got ya)
And everybody know this is the hot spot (birdman I got ‘em)
Welcome to my hood

Woop, woop
