Lyrics
In The Hood
4-2-74/ that's the year I was pushed out of heavens doors,
two years later i'm wearing drawers,
two years after that my first encounter with the law.
The day they took away my father,
All I can vividly remember is the tears on my mama.
And life got frightening, when these whitemen,
stole my daddy but they were fussing and fighting.
Six years old to young to know what was happening,
I would hear mama yell you spent it on crack again!
Put it back "Buzz", turned to pushing, turned to slapping, turned to scrapping,
turned to the whiteman knocking on the door asking;
"Are you alright maam ?, You should not have hit her, come with me sir."
From there it's all a blur, the foundation of what was to occur.
(Hook)
In this hood we live in it's like...
misery is a given but it's alright...
because GOD promised that if we strive
he'll lead us to a prosperous life.
A land of milk and honey,
A place where we don't need money,
That's why I'm not scared to die
because I know my soul will survive.
I have to rewind a few lines...
bring it back to 7-4-79.
And just so you'll have an understanding
that's the year god gave me my same sex companion
And I'm not talking about no gay shit,
I'm talking about someone to share my pain and play with,
Someone to walk through the flames with,
Someone to vent and talk to because we went through the same shit.
Someone to punch on and make tougher,
Someone who wanted to walk just like his big brother.
I remember hearing i'll mother screaming
your first year of life the night that you just stopped breathing,
and I woke up grieving
like damn he's not even teething and already he's leaving.
but low and behold the souldier in ya soul.
you beat death away from your door. It's like I told you before.
(Hook)
In this hood we live in it's like...
misery is a given but it's alright...
because GOD promised that if we strive
he'll lead us to a prosperous life.
A land of milk and honey,
A place where we don't need money,
That's why I'm not scared to die
because I know my soul will survive.
Now it's hard for yar'll to understand,
why I'm a young teenager with the gun in hand,
i have to eat anyway I can,
mama did good but can't teach me how to be a man.
the one responcible for that
took the easy way out so now i'm all about
what I have to stack.
and that's dat paper, man I wish we didn't need it
but since we do
I'm stuck in this hustle.
If you did'nt understand fuck you,
I justified it in my own mind like only GOD can judge you
who the fuck gonna feed you?
who the fuck out there loves you?
who the fuck out there needs you?
Not a soul.
so on that note, after I nut I grab my glock
ma' I got to go.
deal with a world so cold
that when it comes to love I just can't because my hearts froze.
I'm singing nobody knows...
all the troubles I've seen but the truth be told.
We're all in this together
Trying to find a way through this grey whether./
