From the recording If I Did What They Do To Me (Monsta)
Yo, check it out. Hood Rawlz just dropped a new track called "If I Did What They Do To Me (Monsta)" and it's fire. This joint is all about how people can take advantage of your kindness and then turn around and treat you like you're the bad guy. You know what I'm talking about - you show up on time and everyone else is late, but if you're the one who's late they act like you're the problem. And don't even get me started on when people don't follow through with their promises, but then expect you to come through for them every time.
The song is all about flipping the script and imagining what it would be like if you did the same things to others that they do to you. Would they still look at you the same way? Or would they finally realize how messed up their behavior is?
And get this - the inspiration for the song came from a real-life situation. Hood Rawlz was just sitting there with the beat when he got a message from someone he hadn't heard from in three years. This person owed him an apology, but instead of owning up to their mistakes, they tried to blame Hood Rawlz for stuff that wasn't even his fault. It was like they were accusing him of stealing or something. Hood Rawlz was pissed, but he channeled that anger into this sick track.
Trust me, you need to check out "If I Did What They Do To Me (Monsta)" by Hood Rawlz. It's the real deal.

Lyrics
HOOK
If
I
did
what niggas do to me
they’d call me
a monster (monsta)!
Goin’ fuck around and find out!
If
I
did
what niggas do to me
they’d call me
a monster (monsta)!
Goin’ fuck around and find out!
1st VERSE
I ain’t no gansta!
but I ain’t no wangsta either!
I choose to use my skills for good
(to build)
encourage my people.
My niggas take kindness for weakness
Been here to long not to note
that sometimes
you got to handle ya business.
Go toe to toe.
Flow to flow.
El to the bow.
Body blow!
3rd set
I’m swoll.
Self control is what I maintain
because I’ve seen a little bit of life
although hard work
worth a little maintaining.
Refraining
from doin’ damage
to my life
yo’ life
it’s worth more than
a little braggin’.
You don’t make it this far talkin’ wreck-less.
But wrong is wrong
and sometimes you got to be put on a check list.
HOOK
If
I
did
what niggas do to me
they’d call me
a monster (monsta)!
Goin’ fuck around and find out!
If
I
did
what niggas do to me
they’d call me
a monster (monsta)!
Goin’ fuck around and find out!
2nd VERSE
I was minding own business
just chillin.
Mutha fucka goin call me out the blue
talkin’ he got a feelin’.
He drunk
so
I already know how to deal wit ‘em.
He like my daddy,
he’ll pass out
then you’ll forgive him.
Drunk ass
he don’t know his shit.
Call me years later to blame me for some shit!
Not an apology
for that other shit.
But renew what angered me
and I think on purpose.
Why would you do that?
You so happy.
But that misery
lovin company
need a pappy.
I ain’t the one!
Don’t bring that shit over here!
Match my energy
and accomplish something to be revered!
HOOK
If
I
did
what niggas do to me
they’d call me
a monster (monsta)!
Goin’ fuck around and find out!
If
I
did
what niggas do to me
they’d call me
a monster (monsta)!
Goin’ fuck around and find out!
