[Chorus] Every time I do it I do it for my hood Every time I do it I do it for my hood And every time I do it I do it for they hood And every time I do it I do it for yo hood And every time I do it I do it for they hood It's understood I do it for the hood The streets love jeezy and I love 'em back If I still had the work I getcha sack It's all gravy still reaching wit my words And make 'em feel good on the first and the third Take you back when I was sixteen wits a bankroll Posted on a corner like a light pole They used to call us track stars Before they even stopped we ran to dem cars And everybody on the block got the same agenda Hustle from the beginning of January til the end of December Wasn't smokin purple then it was more like bobby brown On that hen dog got a nigga drinking straight brown (7/11 nigga you know) You know 10 to 4 shake 'em up talk shit get my drink and let 'em go Even when I'm on the road the gangstas stay in touch Why you think they love me so much (ha ha!) [Chorus] I'm talking bout summertime cookouts and wintertime flights It ain't nothing we hearing shots all night Ford Taurus pulls up everybody run White boys jump out running wit they guns (5-0, 5-0) Ford Taurus leave everybody came back Hope dem boys didn't find my sack Real recognize real I suppose I guess that's why the gangstas be at all my shows Got the deal nothing changed but my clothes Still catch me in the jects fuckin' wit' dem hoes (projects!) Like coo-coo cal Lord I wish mad Lou could see me now Wish gold mouth was there wish mailman was free A lot of niggas crossing over dog no not me Plus I been in the commercials when I watch TV And everybody know I rep these streets faithfully [Chorus] Ford Taurus pull up everybody run White boys jump out running wit they guns Ford Taurus leave everybody came back Hope dem boyz didn't find my sack
