The Hood

(Ayy, this is a Trademark produ—

[Chorus

Said the hood make sacrifices, and the hood rivals

And the hood vitals, and the hood rights

And the hood Bible

I said the hood lies, said the hood cries

Seen the hood rise, and first vices

No silver spoon, so they shot dope, antidotes

Old heads tellin' lies, murder introduced

Gave me thirty shots, I guess I'm seduced

Should I pull the trigger? Stop, shoot

Everybody became dead bodies

But then we walked through 6-4, became allies

Everybody in the trenches don't make it alive

Girls telling men, "Don't cry"

Best friends turned to enemies, hustle for a Bentley

I was on my six-speed, riding 'til my wheels leave

Scars from the concrete made a boy a man

I feel L.A. soul with the wind

The streets don't pretend

The streets don't make amends

And the police make evidence

I'm just riding through in a Benz

Said the hood make sacrifices, and the hood rivals

And the hood vitals, and the hood rights

And the hood Bible

I said the hood lies, said the hood cries

Seen the hood rise, and first vices

I seen the hood cycle, and the hood Michael

Jackson and Jordan, just the hood title

I got the hood vibes

Late night ridin', summertime, hood nights

On the curb with the fire hydrants

Or at the park watchin' Cdai and Manny dunk for the highlights

Ditchin' school for the high life

Robbin' for Jordans, not the Flight Nikes

Neighborhood cameras on the lights

You hear the sirens, police on the bikes

You hear the silence, somebody died

You see the soul lift from his body

You see the shells, somebody shot him

You see the gun all in his brother pocket

In the streets, you alone

In the streets, ain't no hope

And the cases prolong

And the murder go on

Said the hood make sacrifices, and the hood rivals

And the hood vitals, and the hood rights

And the hood Bible

I said the hood lies, said the hood cries

Seen the hood rise, and first vices
