(J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League)

[Chorus: Jay Rock]

Keepin' it G ain't nothin' (Hey)

You ain't gotta like it 'cause the hood gon' love it (Hey)

Watch a young nigga show his ass out in public (Hey, hey)

I got the whole block bumpin' (Hey)

You ain't gotta like it 'cause the hood gon' love it (Hey)

Watch a young nigga show his ass out in public (Hey, hey)

[Verse 1: Jay Rock]

No-no-no-no-now, now, you know what this is

Tell 'em, "It's a celebration, bitches"

Where the barbeque pits and the mini-bikes?

Mini-skirts, Hennessy's, and the Miller Lites

Domino tables, who got big 6?

Where I'm from, we do concrete backflips

Flip-flop, flip-flop, flip-flop back

Through the ghetto's where I bring hip-hop back

Real niggas love me, they tell me "Keep it pushin'"

The only niggas speak from way inside Central Bookings

County jails and the lock downs up north

Said I should have it if Scarface pass the torch

That's how they feel, Jack, built much more than rap

This that project haircut in the cul-de-sac

This is where Jose front you them quarters at

Meet your quota whenever I put a quote on a track, nigga

[Chorus: Jay Rock]

Keepin' it G ain't nothin' (Hey)

You ain't gotta like it 'cause the hood gon' love it (Hey)

Watch a young nigga show his ass out in public (Hey, hey)

I got the whole block bumpin' (Hey)

You ain't gotta like it 'cause the hood gon' love it (Hey)

Watch a young nigga show his ass out in public (Hey, hey)

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]

From Compton to Baltimore, I'ma kill it

I buy a morgue in the minute

The public house, the plastic couch of a Section 8 tenant

The Regal window is tinted, the air conditioner broke

But I'm cool enough to ensure you my ride is an Eskimo (Huh?)

And I peel off in the midst of gettin' my thrills off

And I thrive off energies from inner cities that we lost (Huh?)

I'm puttin' the ghetto on top of my back

And I live in the back of the jungle

Lions, tigers, bears, oh, my

Hear the siren, walk up— drive-by

Shooters, looters, federal fed intruders

Engines on back of scooters

The real can recognize real

And we need to know just who you are

You are in the presence of many presents

Kendrick the gift for the future, oh yeah, I said it

Thug life

Good kid, m.A.A.d city, mad respect, representin' the hub right

[Chorus: Jay Rock]

Keepin' it G ain't nothin' (Hey)

You ain't gotta like it 'cause the hood gon' love it (Hey)

Watch a young nigga show his ass out in public (Hey, hey)

I got the whole block bumpin' (Hey)

You ain't gotta like it 'cause the hood gon' love it (Hey)

Watch a young nigga show his ass out in public (Hey, hey)

[Verse 3: Jay Rock]

The homegirls tell me I'm the shit

I break 'em off so they can buy some outfits

I buy they sons a pack of pampers, some new Jordan's

Give 'em the game, school 'em on what's really important

It's how I was raised, the OG's had me

Thirteen, fresh off the porch, slingin' cavi'

But I'm wiser now, show all my young niggas

There's other ways you get them dollars and funds, nigga

Comin' down in an old school, so cool

Whip like a fireball, call it Goku

You don't know the tribulations that we go through

Put your ears to the speakers, I'ma show you

I paint a picture so perfect

Hear my CD, you see Mona Lisa in person

Courtesy of a hundred beat

Got my Crips and esses at arm reach, one West

[Chorus: Jay Rock]

Keepin' it G ain't nothin' (Hey)

You ain't gotta like it 'cause the hood gon' love it (Hey)

Watch a young nigga show his ass out in public (Hey, hey)

I got the whole block bumpin' (Hey)

You ain't gotta like it 'cause the hood gon' love it (Hey)

Watch a young nigga show his ass out in public (Hey, hey)
