[Intro: Jinx da Juvy]

Yeah, Jinx Da Juvy (Uh-huh, uh-huh), Hi-Tek (Yeah)

Uhh, uh... 'cause anybody can get it

Anybody, anybody can get it (Project shit)

(Real recognize real) Uh, yeah, yeah, uh

This as real as it gets (Uh-huh)

This as real as it gets

Ayo, uh, uh (Yeah)

Ayo, ayo, ayo


[Hook: Jinx da Juvy]

Ayo, I'm from where they bust guns, killin' and shit

Thugs sellin' drugs, killin' the strip, dealin' with bricks

From my hood to y'all hood, feel this shit

Real recognize real, this as real as it gets

Ayo, I'm from where they bust guns, killin' and shit

Thugs sellin' drugs, killin' the strip, dealin' with bricks

From my hood to y'all hood, feel this shit

Real recognize real, this as real as it gets


[Verse 1: Jinx da Juvy]

Ayo, ayo, Jinx Da Juvenile, yeah, I was one of them bastards

Bussin' them ratchets, before this rap shit

I copped coke, cut it and bagged it, twelve-twelve

Stuffin the plastic, the strip was flooded with traffic

I'm from a hood where they rep in wool

Lil niggas pants baggy, sketz is long

In bang-outs, I leave a nigga stomach where his chest belong

Now that's what you call leavin' a nigga dead wrong

I live for gunplay

Deuce-fives is easy to carry, but I love eights

Anybody can get it, fuck Jake, I spit in a judge face

Who schemin on the kid, who grillin' the watch?

Like if I ain't the kid who be spittin' them shots

Run in your crib, grippin the Glock

Leave yo' ass in the kitchen witcha brains in the cereal box

Real recognize real, whether you feel it or not


[Hook: Jinx da Juvy]

Ayo, I'm from where they bust guns, killin' and shit

Thugs sellin' drugs, killin' the strip, dealin' with bricks

From my hood to y'all hood, feel this shit

Real recognize real, this as real as it gets

Ayo, I'm from where they bust guns, killin' and shit

Thugs sellin' drugs, killin' the strip, dealin' with bricks

From my hood to y'all hood, feel this shit

Real recognize real, this as real as it gets


[Verse 2: Jinx da Juvy]

Ayo, straight out the 'Ville, before my deal, slung drugs in the basement

Now I'm in the booth spittin 'til my lungs cave in

I gotta supply the fam

So if The Source givin out five mics, I want five grams

Keep a revolver cause nines jam

ABG: Anybody Can Get It, I die for the fam

Die for the love of the strip, either way I'm gonna get rich

Catch the kid sunk in a 6

Jewels is heavy, flooded the wrist, my team stuff they clips

Keep it gangsta, a hundred percent

Who think not? Who really wanna see how Jinx rock?

Like I ain't been doin this since Pampers and slingshots (What?)

Half y'all rap niggas talk the nonsense

I live this shit, y'all soft as cotton

While y'all was in school I was in Spofford boxing

Real recognize real I keep the larcen' poppin'


[Hook: Jinx da Juvy]

Ayo, I'm from where they bust guns, killin' and shit

Thugs sellin' drugs, killin' the strip, dealin' with bricks

From my hood to y'all hood, feel this shit

Real recognize real, this as real as it gets

Ayo, I'm from where they bust guns, killin' and shit

Thugs sellin' drugs, killin' the strip, dealin' with bricks

From my hood to y'all hood, feel this shit

Real recognize real, this as real as it gets


[Outro: Jinx da Juvy]

Yeah, ABG: Anybody Can Get It

Black Jesus, Alaska

Loose Cannon

Pow Wow the Don, Mil-lion (What?)

This is my year, the Y-2-K kid, uh

Def Jam, Rawkus

From my hood to your hood

Feel this shit, this as real as it gets
