What's a boy to do if he'll never be a gangsta
Anger in his heart, but he'll never be a gangsta
If you move into his neighborhood, he'll never make a soundWhat's a boy to do if he'll never be a rasta
Singin' from his heart, but he'll never be a rasta
If you move into his neighborhood, he'll never make a sound
If you move into his neighborhoodBang bang bang oh
Ain't never move to my hood
Cause danger is crawling out the wood

If you move into her neighborhood, she'll never make a sound
If you move into her neighborhood, she'll never make aIf you move into her neighborhood, she'll never make a sound[Repeat x4]
Bang bang bang oh
Ain't never move to my hood
'Cause danger is crawling out the woodHey

(You're ruining the tape)Life in the city (the city)
Makes more sense when Jesus comesBang bang bang oh
Ain't never move to[Repeat x4]
Bang bang bang oh
Ain't never move to my hood
Cause danger is crawling out the woodBang Bang Bang
