[Intro]
[TV on blast, channel flipping]
Huey on the couch
Riley by the door
Granddad yelling
“Y’all gon’ clean this floor!”
[Verse 1]
Riley in the yard
purple bandana
Sprayed “Woodcrest Ballas”
on the neighbor’s old Camry
Huey reading books like
“This is how empires fall”
Riley like “Boy stop talkin’
I’m tryna ball”
Granddad grilling
in his church shoes
Heard a car creep
“Who scuffin’ up my new grooves?”
Purple car creeping
slow down the block
Windows drop
whole squad in purple socks (what?)
Ballas jump out
doing lil’ dances
Missed three shots
just from sagging they pants
Riley pulled a Super Soaker
full of hot sauce
Yelled “Woodcrest, boy!”
then let that drip off (skrrt skrrt)
[Chorus]
It’s the Boondocks
duck behind the mailbox
Garden hose spraying
like we caught the ops
Purple flags flying
neighbors callin’ the cops
But it’s water guns, paintballs
stains on they Crocs
Bang bang, spritz spritz
that’s how we rock
Granddad screaming
“I’ma lose this house!”
Whole block wilding
’til the sprinklers stop
Just a gang shootout
on a quiet cul-de-sac (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Huey set traps
like it’s home defense
Built a slingshot
out the backyard fence
Launched tofu bricks
and organic beans
Ballas like “Who brought
the vegan to the scene?”
Riley on a bike
doing drive-bys sloppy
Hit himself twice
with a Nerf foam rocket (dummy)
Granddad slid out
in a satin robe
Old school stance
ashy elbow
Pulled a flip-flop
like it’s ancient steel
“You touch my lawn
you sign a dental bill”
He threw one sandal
whole crowd froze up
Ballas backed down
like “We good, we good, bruh”
[Chorus]
It’s the Boondocks
duck behind the mailbox
Garden hose spraying
like we caught the ops
Purple flags flying
neighbors callin’ the cops
But it’s water guns, paintballs
stains on they Crocs
Bang bang, spritz spritz
that’s how we rock
Granddad screaming
“I’ma lose this house!”
Whole block wilding
’til the sprinklers stop
Just a gang shootout
on a quiet cul-de-sac (yeah!)
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to bass and snaps]
Police roll up
lights all flashing
See a pool float
and some kids just splashin’
Officer said
“Y’all done out here?”
Riley: “Yeah… unless
you wanna volunteer?” (ay!)
Huey like “See?
state power in play”
Granddad: “Boy hush
’fore I trip in these J’s”
Ballas, Boondocks
pose for the cam
Everyone throw signs
and inflatable hands
[Chorus]
It’s the Boondocks
duck behind the mailbox
Garden hose spraying
like we caught the ops
Purple flags flying
neighbors callin’ the cops
But it’s water guns, paintballs
stains on they Crocs
Bang bang, spritz spritz
that’s how we rock
Granddad screaming
“I’ma lose this house!”
Whole block wilding
’til the credits drop
Just a gang shootout
on a quiet cul-de-sac (what?)
