It’s life in the hood The word survive becomes my would The streets having control being my could My life depends on it being should Drugs are my deal The reality is truly for real I would steal from my own parents Life in the hood makes it apparent A warrant is a chance no one gets Yet Gambling becomes far more than a bet Yet even still Determination sustains in an active will Being a **** means taking numerous chances Respect in the neighborhood how one advances Gun shoots being the norm around here It’s how Thugs live and preserver You must watch your back constantly when gangs come near One must observe the front and the rear A drug king pin could have a bullet to your head You could become dead living in an eternal coffin A ****’s life means you must act tough Yet you must always be rough Generosity is not enough Prostitution being the name of the game Making money and becoming rich with fame College is not a mission for a **** All they want to do is mug Living right to **** is simply being a chore This is something a **** would ignore Now you know what a **** is about It becomes a battle like a struggling bout But somewhere a **** knows how to figure it out Rob and Steal being the ****’s feel You learn how to wheel and deal The mission is never let the cops find out Only a true **** would know what I am talking about.
