When you live out here in these streets,
you can't survive with just a bluff!
When someone pushes, you push back.
You show the enemy that you're tough!
You can't survive out here alone!
You'd be dead by noon tomorrow!
That's why we HOMIES stick together,
because this life is full of sorrow!
We're protectin' what is ours.
We make sure we have control!
We make the rules and regulations,
to prove our point, we sometimes rock and roll!
We HOMIES have a code
and each BRO knows they can depend-
That they'll never be out there alone,
or find themselves without a friend!
We party, fight, and drink together.
Sometimes we even die!
A dead BRO is not forgotten!
We live our CODE, "EYE for an EYE!"
So if one of our HOMIES is taken out,
someone else's HOMIE has got to pay!
When we show up in their hood,
they know someone's gonna die today!
We stand eye to eye and toe to toe,
guns drawn, for this is war!
We're not sure why this all started,
but that's the OATH we swore!
