Hood

Some day, I know you'll be far away

I'll be right here to stay, give me one day

Baby, baby, don't, run away, come see me

Some day, I'll be right, here today, just give me love, Rae

To my hood, I'm always there for you

Rain, hail, sleet, snow, and I'm there

For all the under privilege, yo we here

My life is all in your soul, daily, since nana left us

She took all of your ,blessing, cuz she been there

My life changed, yo, could never though ,be without you, yo

It's strange ,but I wanted the rain

All my best friends grew with me, we all had vision of you

We broke nights, God, knowing you cared

It's time to move on

Peace, *****, only for a minute and I'mma break out

Come back and kiss you on your feet, here

I love my hood, I love my niggas, there, yo

The older we get, we understand, you might tear

Some day, I know you'll be far away

I'll be right here to stay, give me one day

Baby, baby, don't, run away, come see me

Some day, I'll be right, here today, just give me love, Rae

You keep the little young ones, happy, true

Graduations occur, you look so pretty and new

Look at the sky, all blue, all old people with you

Facilities mailing, jail brovas miss you wild,

its gets crazy ,when I think about the money you made me

Slip me away, but Jakes tried raid me

Night shifts, smokin' on spliffs, you kept yellin'

"Carry your fifth, dem down the block ****** is gay"

They keep police invadin' ya space, we can't live

Plus, they gassin' the mayor, dem niggas wanna give you away

We won't have that, surburban people mad at the fact

That you be gettin' more company then them, they just was scared of that

"Hood", look at your name, spell it backwards

Yo, "Dooh", that's what they yellin' in vain

You the realest, the most livest, flyest, you part of life

I gotta give you love, cuz you gave me God and light

Some day, I know you'll be far away

I'll be right here to stay, give me one day

Baby, baby, don't, run away, come see me

Some day, I'll be right, here today, just give me love, Rae

Who ever said you ain't do right by me, they frontin', yo

They couldn't understand that we was a team

I used to come out, hear you words, talk to me, walk with me, brother

Cool, try to be succesful and dream

The city lights is on, now, they wanna turn 'em off

Trying start some shit, actin' like you never made money for 'em

Dun, they doin' you dirty, we had Summer Youth for that, though

No need to cry, never get worried

You gon' live forever, word to mother

Cuz she raised you right, and you got fifty-one brothers

I sat with the trees and conversation and vee's

We talked about throwin' money up, landscapin' your knees

You can get that, something to talk about

Show me where to take the check, pay these suckas off and be out

There never be another place, everybody happy to see

That's why I keep coming back to you, peace

Some day, I know you'll be far away

I'll be right here to stay, give me one day

Baby, baby, don't, run away, come see me

Some day, I'll be right, here today, just give me love, Rae

Some day, I know you'll be far away

I'll be right here to stay, give me one day

Baby, baby, don't, run away, come see me

Some day, I'll be right, here today, just give me love, Rae
