[Intro: Jermaine Dupri & Monica]
Woo! Uh-huh, I don't think y'all can handle this (Mmm)
I don't really, really think y'all can handle this
Mo, I don't think they can handle this
I don't really, really think they can handle this, tell 'em
[Chorus: Monica & Jermaine Dupri]
I'm too hood for you (Uh-huh)
I ain't tryin' to act too good for you (Nah)
I'm just tryin' to tell you what's really true (What's up?)
Baby, I don't think you can handle this (Ha, ha)
I'm too, I'm too hood for you (Mmm, mmm) (Yeah)
Tell me, what you know about ridin' all chromed out? (Uh-huh)
Hair braided up with the golds in your mouth (Hmm) (Uh)
Nothin', nothin', I'm too (So So Def)
[Verse 1: Monica]
I don't wanna pull your cards (Oh)
Play it out, call you soft (Oh)
But the line you just kicked to me
It won't get you nowhere with me
I can see that you are not (Oh)
The kind of guy that I like (Oh)
Me and you could never be
You're too nice and just too pretty and
[Chorus: Monica & Jermaine Dupri]
I'm too hood for you (Too pretty)
I ain't tryin' to act too good for you (Nah)
I'm just tryin' to tell you what's really true (Oh)
Baby, I don't think you can handle this (Can you handle me? 'Cause)
I'm too (Can you handle this?), I'm too hood for you (Uh-huh)
Tell me, what you know about ridin' all chromed out?
Hair braided up with the golds in your mouth
Nothin', nothin', I'm too (Mo, tell 'em)
[Verse 2: Monica & Jermaine Dupri]
It's not your fault I'm from the hood
I love 'em bad and hate 'em good (Oh)
To keep it real with you, honestly
That's the only type to figure that can handle me (Oh)
A tatted-up, a faded up playa that don't give a what (Oh)
That's me!
I'm the only one he lets inside
And when he does, it's ride or die, that's why I'm
[Chorus: Monica & Jermaine Dupri]
I'm too hood for you (Too hood) (Come on)
I ain't tryin' to act too good for you (Uh)
I'm just tryin' to tell you what's really true (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Baby, I don't think you can handle this (Can you handle this?)
I'm too, I'm too hood for you ('Cause I'm too hood for you)
Tell me, what you know about ridin' all chromed out?
Hair braided up with the golds in your mouth (Uh-huh)
Nothin', nothin', I'm too (Oh) (This the part I like)
[Bridge: Monica]
I try not to let it show but
Something said, "Mo, let it go and let yourself be free"
'Cause I can take myself out the hood
But can't take the hood out of me, I'm gangster
Got diamonds in my teeth, so ghetto
Y'all just wannabes
I gotta have the heart to play the part
And talk the talk to walk these streets
I'm too hood
[Verse 3: Jermaine Dupri]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Call it what you like (Uh-huh)
Sometimes, I like to fight (Uh-huh)
Get fly, get high, party all night
Keep at least five grand in my pocket, and a rubber band
Only rock it if it's name brand, you know
Prada, Gucci, Polo, whatever (Oh)
The car? Gotta have that wood-grain and leather
The shoes? They gotta be 20's or better
I don't care if you in a Benz or a Jetta, ladies
With tattoos, about three or four
Of somebody's name you don't even see no more (Uh, uh)
And you gotta have the bling (Bling)
Some rings or a neckpiece
A bracelet or studs in your ear, at least (At least)
Fellas with more than two BMs, that's too hood
Girls that dress like Lil' Kim, that's too hood
Can't talk without cursin', gold teeth, MLK
Aw, that's me, I'm just too hood
[Chorus: Monica & Jermaine Dupri]
I'm too hood for you (Now you see just what I mean) (Uh-huh)
I ain't tryin' to act too good for you (I'm too hood) (Yeah)
I'm just tryin' to tell you what's really true (Oh)
Baby, I don't think you can handle this (Uh-huh)
I'm too, I'm too hood for you (Oh)
Tell me, what you know about ridin' all chromed out?
Hair braided up with the golds in your mouth (Uh-huh)
Nothin', nothin'
I'm too, I'm too hood for you (Oh, I'm, oh, I'm) (Come on)
I ain't tryin' to act too good for you (I'm not tryin' to be) (Come on)
I'm just tryin' to tell you what's really true (Not tryin' to be funny) (Come on)
Baby, I don't think you can handle this (Huh, oh)
I'm too, I'm too hood for you (See, I like the thuggish things) (Say what?)
Tell me, what you know about ridin' all chromed out? (They make me scream) (Uh-huh)
Hair braided up with the golds in your mouth (Come on)
Nothin', nothin' (Woo, woo, woo, woo)
I'm too, I'm too hood for you (Uh-huh)
I ain't tryin' to act too good for you (Oh, nah)
I'm just tryin' to tell you what's really true
Baby, I don't think you can handle this (Baby, baby, uh-huh)
I'm too, I'm too hood for you (That's right)
Tell me, what you know about ridin' all chromed out?
Hair braided up with the golds in your mouth
Nothin', nothin' (It's nothin', nothin')
