Maybe, it just me.
What acclamation are you claiming?
When you say, "I'm from the hood"?
Does it mean you accomplished something?
And you still living there.

Did you change the narrative?
Assist the community in being better.
Working with law enforcement to rid the community of criminals and drug dealers.

You best believe the best in that trade is living in a nice community.

Fronting with the nurse or teacher to cover up his profits?
When he must explain the wealth he has many times?
So what are you bragging about?

Brag and brag loud, if your community is getting better?
I even say greater.
But don't brag because your thinking stuck in destruction, thuggery and such.
