Текст (слова) песни: Eightball and MJG - Anotha Day in Tha Hood

 
[ VERSE 1: Eightball ] 
Eightball the Fat Mac must express 
While a nigga`s gettin zooted from the potent-ass sess 
Lookin back, damn, I was wild as a juvenile 
Mama showed love and she struggled for her only child 
But like my dad I was stuck in the streets 
I never wanted to work hard, cause that shit ain`t for me 
Back then only 16, ignorant and curious 
Mom`s gettin periods cause I wasn`t serious 
I said fuck school teachers and the church preachers 
I wanted to hang with my niggas with the street sweepers 
Back in the days sellin herbs on the [Name] 
Me and Squeaky doin city-wide talent shows 
Gettin dissed, gettin pissed cause of this shit 
Cause it`s so hard in this muthafuckin business 
I said many times, "Mama, I`ma make you proud" 
But I could never leave the thug life of Orange Mound 
I`m on the corner drinkin Thunderbird, slingin rocks 
They in my hands cause the cops know `bout the matchbox 
But I can`t sell dope, rappin is the way, gee 
And this is just another day around the homies 
 
[ VERSE 2: MJG ] 
..mid day, I was deep into a sleep 
Unconscious from that hay that they distribute on em streets 
My world was constantly spinnin from the Rйmy that was in me 
And we ain`t half-stepped on them blunts, we chiefed up plenty 
A penny to be earned in a day is what I`m looking for 
Hopin for, some kind of way to make a little more ducats 
Fuck it, shit that I just needed, I just stuck it 
Up, hell, nigga might as well 
Proceed to hustle like a p-i-m-p 
MJ fuckin G 
The nigga with the muthafuckin clout, no doubt 
The pimps is in the muthafuckin house 
Be up out [Name], black folk is takin over 
You know how I know? Gimme the mic and I show ya 
I teach ya, I reach ya with this pimpalistic knowledge 
The shit a nigga learned back in Break-A-Bitch College 
Started, to hustle at the age of 11 
Started makin money when a nigga turned 12 
Started to induldge at the age of 13 
At 14 a nigga flatfoot was raisin hell 
In the muthafuckin hood 
 
[ VERSE 3: Eightball ] 
So many rappers in this industry, I don`t doubt 
That it`s a bunch of niggas broke with a CD out 
It ain`t new to me, cause me and MJG 
Had to struggle just to hustle down in Tennessee 
In Memphis, tryin to be a rapper 
But rappin don`t mean shit to Elvis Presley-lovin crackers 
Plus I`m with a record label gankin me and fuckin me 
Niggas always promsisin me shit that I will never see 
Trick-buster always talkin `bout we family 
But while I was rappin he was snortin up my royalty 
So I got smart, hit the streets and said fuck that 
That`s when this nigga named T Money heard our first track 
Pack em up, move em out, straight down to Texas 
Me and JG ridin drop-top Lexus 
"Coming Out Hard" on the charts in the `Billboard` 
Second album droppin and we waitin on our first award 
Niggas talkin cause the crew ain`t walkin no mo` 
Them jealous busters tryin to start shit over hoes 
I don`t know what is worse, livin bad or livin good 
But the whole world remind me of my neighborhood 
 
[ VERSE 4: MJG ] 
See, I`m a self-made hustler, trustin the 
Niggas who think that two heads are better than one 
And ready to get the job done, son 
MJG gots game in the street sale 
That makes me get lifts in the studio 
Even though it was kind of hard as far as I can see 
Growin up in the Orange Mound Tennessee community 
Could it be the future had love for a nigga who 
Struggled through all type of shit for a bill or two? 
Still I do shows for my fans cause my fans buy my tapes 
And the tapes make my g`s and the g`s keeps me straight 
And I hate when the busters smile all in my face like a hoe 
And talk shit in the down low 
Look out, punk, mutha-fucka, sucka, niggas 
My finger`s gettin tired of the trigger, dig a 
Grave, shit, cause I don`t want his boys to have to deal 
With the smell of the trick I just killed 
???? if you can`t hang with the stress, best 
Wipe the big `S` off your muthafuckin chest 
Press issues, makin sure they fully understood 
`bout a young nigga life in the muthafuckin hood
