Yeah, that's right
Straight givin' up the 'hood all day, fool
Cypress Hill, motherfucker, what you wanna do?
Uh-huh, givin' my shit up in your face fool

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Throwing your set in the air” refers to performing a hand signal or a series of hand signals to indicate what “set,” or gang subsidiary, you belong to. Cypress Hill members Sen Dog, Mellow Man Ace, and B-Real belong to the “Neighborhood Family” set within the Bloods.

The song is about the commitment, violence, and mentality involved in joining and belonging to a set.

It’s also the song that Ice Cube partially stole from for his own song Friday, off the soundtrack to the movie by the same name.

Oh yeah, throw ya neighborhood in tha air
If ya don’t care
