A HOOD TALE. (based on true event) Lyrics

The hood swallowed my niggas, hope my niggas never lost in it

Hope they get vomited before their souls finished

I know a homie that was living right across my street

His name was Sjava and I swear no one could tell him shit, look

Java was my older brother's nigga

An Sjava was the nigga with the figures

And we ain't never knew how he made money

But rumour had it, Sjava was a killer

Man Sjava was like allies with the dealers

Ooh

He always pulled up to tell my uncle about the licks

Homie was 22 but his life was more than a flick

He caught a lick at his homies, his name was Boo-Boo

Boo-Boo was in school at the time, now Boo-Boo a loose screw

Yeah, so Boo-Boo had couple tenants

Learning, smoking drugs, with uSjava, his mama complaining

Yeah, now it's time to go catch the lick

Jumping off the wall, no vans, shit was just first brick

It's Boo-Boo crib, bare in mind that nigga is 17

Earlier that day, Boo-Boo done stole the tenant's keys

Impressing homies, trying make sure he fitting in

Getting polony, make sure you ain't got enemies

Yeah

So now they inside the yard

Heart beat racing but Sjava making it fun

Sjava wasn't scared cause he knew he done had a gun

Chewing on gum, he's ready to buckle up so

Sjava gave orders to Boo-Boo, told him open the door

It was Sjava, Boo-Boo and Druggy and couple of boys

They got inside the room all steady, ain't making no noise

They burnt a CD, hoping tenant could sleep more

The tenant was sleeping right wide awake at the time

They took the PC, TV screen, they taking one at a time

Boo-Boo was scared, with sweaty hands but he acting fine

Ain' tryna show uSjava he's scared cause he get the nine

The tenant had a gun under his pillow

He been expecting some niggas to break inside the crib though

He got the gun and shot
