[Verse 1]
As far as [A]days, it's a sunny one
[D]Hear the [C]money [E]comes
If [C]it's [A]a fiend I've never [C]seen
Then they're [D]bound to
[C]catch a [Am]funny [C]one[A]
Hear the kitty come- [D]come
[C]wanting me to run- [A]run
Since I think he [D]5- 0 I sold
[C]him a dum- dum
[Am]I know one day s[C]omehow I
gotta stop at some [Am]point
But I'd [C]rather clock ya,
rob ya ass [Am]at gunpoint

[Verse 2]
I run the streets like [C]feet on the concrete
[Am]We roll deep[C],
so don't sleep on my [A]peeps!
You would think that's the
[D]only [C]thing to stop me
But [A]this Glock is crazy [C]cocky plus
I'm dead already probably
[A]This is what [C]niggas [Am]in the h[D]ood see
[C]The[Am] way the bad[C] and goo[A]d be
[C]Bad is getting paid so bad they would be
[F]Uh- oh, uh- oh,
here comes the news flash from [C]LA
Four crooked [F]cops just walked away

[Verse 3]
So [F]there's been rioting all [C]day
The [F]only thing that made my day a [C]little better
I saw [F]red and blue uniting [C]forever
Crips and bloods fighting [A]together
Back on the [C]block it's
[D]the same [C]damn strip
The [Am]same [A]damn [C]clip,
the same [Am]damn [A]shit!
You really can't ex[C]pect a [D]lot
[C]When the kid's juven
[A]ile and stay locked
And his [D]pops [C]is the block!

[Verse 4]
[A]"Niggas in the hood ain't [D]changed"
[C](Aw[A]w shit! Goddamn!)
"Only [C]the streets tell stories"
[A]"Niggas in the hood ain't [D]changed"
[C](Aw[A]w shit! Goddamn!)
"Only [C]the streets tell stories"
My [A]daddy [C]was a

[Verse 5]
[A]street corner, a gon[E]er
Be[D]fore [C]I popped [E]out my
[C]momma [A]and saw him
He was long [C]gone for the border
[A]So I grew up doing [C]more dirt than dust
Hitting [A]skirts, get in scuffs
Just to [D]knuckle [C]motherfuckers [G]up
Fuck around on a bad day
And he'll watch out to make
these street niggas
Start coming through the alleyway

[Verse 6]
And when we come, we come [G]correct
and it's done
It ain't where you from,
it's how hard your squad come
[A]This nigga's scared! Nigga,
[D]stop, [C]he's a rookie cop
Who [A]couldn't bust a glass rock,
[C]fool, switch your [E]stash [A]spot
And everything'll [C]be al[D]right
[C]I guess unles[A]s I park and start
Pla[D]toon [C]in [E]the project[C] s
[A]It's my honey's [C]night,
get [D]my money [C]right
[A]Or your [C]funny [A]face will be beating up my [D]fist,
[A]fuck a funny fight
Who's to blame when
[D]you're slain [C]for a name
Or [A]a spot and go home [C]to see [D]pops
is [C]the fucking block?

[Verse 7]
[A]"Niggas in the hood ain't [D]changed"
[C](Aw[A]w shit! Goddamn!)
"Only [C]the streets tell stories"
[A]"Niggas in the hood ain't [D]changed"
[C](Aww shit! Goddamn!)
"Only the [A]streets tell stor[C]ies"
Some kids [E]come home [C]to cartoons

[Verse 8]
[A]
on cable
To [D]new [C]clothes with labels
I [A]came home to corners,
did [D]homework [C]when abl[A]e
I clocked it, re- rocked it,
[D]dipped [C]it then flipped it
Re- [A]upped it then cut it,
held and [Am]hold it, [C]then sold [G]it
I'm wit it! Didn't hit the
house til I was finished
When it comes to dough niggas
are in it to spend it
Save and protect, get a safe and a tec
Don't be brave, get a vest,
it might save you your chest

[Verse 9]
And if [G]cops ever come to weld me [A]down
All I say is: "Feet, don't fail me now!"
My town didn't [G]have a rec.,
yup, I was a [F]little [G]wreck
[F]Didn't [G]have a place to play
[G]So like most kids, us niggas [F]went [G]astray
[A]A daddy, nev[C]er got to meet mine
So on Father's [A]Day I take [C]a rag
and [D]I shine [C]up [A]the street sign

[Verse 10]
[A]Drop me on the spot, spot me [D]when [C]I stop
[A]Any [C]time of [A]day, if you'd [C]ask me
Have to [D]tell you [C]poppa
[A]was the block
Money's coming rolling hard,
[D]clocking, [C]rolling hard
[A]Breaking dawn on [C]the lawns
Watch, I'm [D]flowing [C]through
the stolen [A]car
Every job I get [D]dropped,
[C]hope I [E]hit [C]the lotto [A]so I can stop
Peace to [D]the block[C], my pops

[Verse 11]
[A]"Niggas in the hood ain't
[C]changed"[A]
"Only [Am]the streets [C]tell stories"
[A]"Niggas in the hood ain't
[C]changed"[A][C][A]
"Only the streets [C]tell stor[A]ies"
