E-40 - What Is It Over? lyrics

Same hood same block same city yea we
All come from the same place
(same hood same block same city)
Why we family yet we funkin with each other
Tell me how’d it end up this way
(same hood same block same city)
Same hood same block same city yea we
All come from the same place
(same hood same block same city)
Used to be friends now we
Warring with each other
Tell me how’d it end up this way

They went to kindergarten together lived
Round the corner from
Each other pop warner together
Played sports together
His mother grew up with his mother
Now is a game of cat and mouse they hunting
They tucking they barkin ducking
And hiding and running
Bustin and dumping bucket and gunnin
I don't know why
Is it childhood friends always end up
Beefing warring and funking falling
Out with each other over some
Money or a woman?
At first nobody died just a couple
Of fights and some shit talking
But once somebody died it's
Almost impossible to
Solve the problem it's almost like
56 once they spot him in
The daylight they got him
Coming up outta his cab split his ass in half
Walked away like nothing happened without
Even being noticed a couple
Aliens from out of town a
Couple of foot soldiers
Stolen toyota corolla parked down
The street tank
Down near empty foot soldiers on feet
Jumped in the car and got
Windy in these streets you
Can't be weak can't poodle up
And be too friendly
They're sneaky man they cheeky so
Called friends become frenemies

Rule of thumb number one never leave the crib
Without packing you a gun can't be snoozing
When you feuding man protect your
Punk ass at all times
Stay wolf you might wanna get
Your pen and pad while I explain the rules
It used to be unity in the
Hood but niggas hate to
See the next nigga do good
The next nigga got work
Ethic and yours ain't what it should
Every second a child is
Born every second one tooken away
Just a other day
A lil baby got hit with a stray bullet they
Poured it cut him down with a k
In the middle of the day missed
They target they got away s’why
I always pray huddled up I say me and my
Family members like we calling a play better
Watch who you talking around never know
Who know who cuz a
Hit can come out the blue just like the flu
Cuz ugly out here’s trifling and they
Betray you for some money
Some shit you thought your folks
Would never do bitch!

What is it over
(what is it over man) what is
It over (what is it over?) what is it over
(what is it over man) what is
It over (what is it over?) what is it over
(a bitch) what is it over (pride) what is
It over (money) what is it over (jealousy)
