Story behind the song
Fabolous - In My Hood
Lyrics
you can feel it in the air, the difference in times
the aftermath, we were given the signs
do the math, check the difference in time
growin up playin outside, but now we keep the children inside
you kno ya place aint nothin til a gangsta sees it
public places aint public until a gangsta leaves it
you can hear it in the air anxious breathin
n the only way that a kid can feel safe is fleein
its only somethin you can jus frown on
the type of ish that Martin n Malcom never thought they'd look down on
new blood on the new ground they laid their life down on
this, here, is a child's song,
song of fear swarmed in tears
kids cryin thru town like paul revere
seein red coats comin.. blue coats comin..
either way its got the new growth runnin...
its all nothin..ya mama would say.. sugar-coatin the sound of bullets ringin in the air..
summers, feelin cold inside like the winters, chills each time u hear screamin in the air..
feelin subject to idle threats of idle threats, bare with me for a sec, leave it in the air
the worst thing, feelin scared... ambient silence til u hear ya mother singin in the air
can't argue about him not bein there before me...
playgrounds now gang territory.. what happened...
noones laughin anymore.. they hatin eachother
children born into the world already hatin a color
its aint straight, when u can't feel safe in saftey's arms..
should I be thankful for cus it made me strong??
to stop n listen
to cops talkin to my pops cus a kid down the block is missin?
can anybody see what the blocks is missin?
see it before another sidewalk is washed in crimson?
listen to my word.. i'm speakin wuts already felt, homie.. you can feel it in the air..
the same kinda silence when its snowin around
difference is, theres no snow on the ground
difference is.. theres noone around,
unless its somebody you kno on the ground..
