Life's A Puzzle

Life in the hood (life in the hood)
Life in the hood (yeah just like a puzzle)
Life in the hood (life in life in the hood)
Life in the hood is just like a puzzle
It's like a jungle sometimes when you rhyme
The hood took you under
N*ggas start to wonder why you missin all these summers
I ain't seen the streets in like five or six weeks
Cos I'm back on the cell block lookin like I'm shell shocked
In and out down south up north
I'm back back forth and forth
I can't seem to keep my black ass outta dough
Cos I'm steady doin dirt put in work for the turf
I did a gang of killin and still ain't learnt a damn thing
Except how to gang bang talk slang and shoot game
And now I think I'm the mack of the century
Cos I got this b*tch runnin through the penatentiary
But never knowin she was hoe'ing in the hood black
Till the day my homies say 'dre that b*tch a hoodrat'
But shoot the package on some nights and I'm alright
Just another piece of the puzzle of my f*cked up life
Life in the hood is just like a puzzle (like a puzzle)
If in the game your lookin for trouble (lookin for trouble)
My life is like a puzzle I thank God for everyday I'm seeing
Livin in the world cos I'm bout european
Bein a young black male is like havin on
Some gaseline underwear bailin through hell
Cos we have no win that we can all see
Ask rodney king michael j and mike t
And what about oj I think it's a set up
Pac you said it first but my n*gga keep your head up
They don't wanna see another black man make it
And everything we get that look nice they wanna take it
So make it 187 on the po-lice
I'm tired of seein n*gga's get stressed and f*cked with no grease
No peace no justice motherf*ck this
Live bg's doin dirt outta cuttless
The three strikes march It didn't help the situation
All it did was increase the jail population
Life in the hood is just like a puzzle (like a puzzle)
If in the game your lookin for trouble (lookin for trouble)
(Life in the hood is just like a puzzle)
Life in the hood is just like a puzzle
My homies is a piece to my puzzle I love they ass to death
But the more I look around there ain't too many of us left
Survival of the fittest and the strong don't survive
I can count more real n*ggas dead than alive
So n*ggas stop the talkin let that bulls*it keep walkin
I'm tryin to get mine so quit wasting my time
And if I had a dime for everytime I met a b*tch
That I thought was the s*it my ass would be rich
But no I'm broke and b*tches ain't a joke
N*gga you better check yo b*tch talkin s*it will get that hoe smoked
B*tch don't even make a n*gga start
Tryin to get inside my heart so she can tear my life apart
I already got enough strain on my brain
Than to be busy worried about some busy ass dame
But game recognise game with the dresta
Fool I thought you knew about the westside gangsta
Life in the hood is just like a puzzle (like a puzzle)
If in the game your lookin for trouble (lookin for trouble)
Life in the hood is just like a puzzle (like a puzzle)
If in the game your lookin for trouble (lookin for trouble)
Life in the hood is just like a puzzle (like a puzzle)
If in the game your lookin for trouble (lookin for trouble)
