[Cam'ron (intro)]
  You do what you do where you live
  I do what i do where i live
  That's what makes me nigga, and that's just the way it is nigga
  uhh, Killer, uhh, Prease, uhh, Vacant Lot, Diplomat, uhh
  Killer, family nigga, yo, uhh, Killer, uhh, yo yo yo...
    [verse one]
  Where i'm from kids get it hectic
  But get arrested but get respected
  Piss infested, dislexic
  Take caution money, for extortion money
  Girls fate just for abortion money
  Honey no day you'll play me on
  Flip water, nuttin' like avion
  Type a shit my niggas get gravy on
  Money missin', might find your baby gone
  The way we bond, Cam got ta spray these arms
  Have you relocate, like Kay Reconn (?)
  Crazy don, crazy cons girl fuck
  Put they ladies on, me i'll go crazy on?
  One chick told me give her a loan
  Shit, only thing i leave you is alone
  Indeed you could bone, lemme read you a poem
  Mom no good for ya, it's da hood for ya
    [chorus]
  My hood (hood!), hoes (hoes!), thugs (thugs!)
  What it is it good for? absolutely nothin' nothin' nothin'...
  My hood (hood!), guns (guns!), drugs (drugs!)
  What it is it good for? absolutely nothin' nothin' nothin'...
    yo yo yo
  [verse two]
  Now it's gangs out here
  Cats pass we flaggin', blue n red rags we braggin
  Look out y'all, here the padon wagon
  Cops or punks, hit em with the pump
  Nigga wanna front, Killer give 'em what they want
  Roll 'em up in the rug, dump they body in the trunk
  Eat hoe heat low kill slow like mosquito
  Now we dead if i ever did doubt of her
  You want these streets? tryin' to get out of 'em
  Gotta leave 'fore they see Cam fold
  Where they don't speak Englas or Espaniol, no
  Where i go they don't spit that rap, they say
  "Ching chang maka halia"
  Yeah, shit like that!
  Get my gat, click my clack
  Cam's killin' this, i write for niggas
  Am i a vantriloquiste?
  Ya feelin' this, niggas pump ya krills ta dis
  Be carefull, Harlem World will get this
    [chorus]
  My hood (hood!), hoes (hoes!), thugs (thugs!)
  What it is it good for? absolutely nothin' nothin' nothin'...
  My hood (hood!), guns (guns!), drugs (drugs!)
  What it is it good for? absolutely nothin' nothin' nothin'...
    yo yo yo...
  [verse three]
  Cats wanna talk shit, i don't throw back trash at 'em
  I come thru in a drop top, laugh at 'em
  Wit the girls behind me, bout ta throw a pass at 'em
  They with me stupid, now Ma, blast at 'em
  Cats fire when i'm walkin' by like JFK junior, y'all talkin' fly
  I give em Macaulay Culkin lie, Dolly Parton high, they all can buy
  Got it for sale
  And i don't run the crack spot
  Opperation is a jag drop, rag mop, access with a laptop
  One of the have-nots to brick money
  Then i came thru in the six yummy
  Ya whole click sick tummy
  But be carefull, out in this game
  Buyers, supliers, yo they wearin' wires
  But come up in the world, if i twirl you fry
  Got killed like a bitch hair; curled and dyed
    [chorus]
  My hood (hood!), hoes (hoes!), thugs (thugs!)
  What it is it good for? absolutely nothin' nothin' nothin'...
  My hood (hood!), guns (guns!), drugs (drugs!)
  What it is it good for? absolutely nothin' nothin' nothin'...
  [repeat x2]
