Hood Hope

Hood Hope Tryna railroad me and place me in the county for jail holding No jewelry but they let me keep my air jordans Once you in the cage you better prepare for elbow throwing Nervous bout the time they can give but you don’t dare show it Your whole life changed from a judges decision Then you gotta wait a couple months just to appeal it Gotta re-create ya self cuz they painted you a villain Plus the holidays and birthdays you missing with the children It’s an everyday struggle when you can’t make the puzzle feel complete Your family love you but they can’t visit every week Waiting on a kite from Homi3 to tell you about the streets Then you find out that homie got shot the other week You start to feel alone and the hatred in you grown To something you control like an auto pilot drone You waiting on the next knucclehead to rub you wrong Now administrative seg with no bed your new home {It’s just another day in the hood~~ But life moves on~~You gotta stay strong~~ Can’t let nobody grab the wheel and steer you wrong~~ And you can’t let them hold you down for good~} {It’s just another day in the hood~~ We just tryna survive another day in the life Just to make a couple buccs I gotta sacrifice~~ Cuz I can’t let them hold me down for good} You 18 your family kicced you out for no reason Told you to get a job or go to school or else you leaving Tried the dope game but end up owing your Homi3 people No trucc but now you gotta dodge hoping that they don’t C you Life starts to change The girl you wuz wit say it’s time for her to switch up and try some new thangs Now you hangin wit the blue gang Membership do thangs like 2:11’s and hommacide to name a few thangs It’s been a few months Your family ain’t seen you but one Saturday they decide to do lunch You chillin wit the homies smoked a couple of blunts Then go and rob the restaurant with a mask and a gun {It’s just another day in the hood~~ But life moves on~~You gotta stay strong~~ Can’t let nobody grab the wheel and steer you wrong~~ And you can’t let them hold you down for good~} {It’s just another day in the hood~~ We just tryna survive another day in the life Just to make a couple buccs I gotta sacrifice~~ Cuz I can’t let them hold me down for good} Look at us now we yellin blacc lives matter And we still ain’t put a crooked pig on a platter The system ain’t right like watery cake batter It look sweet but never hold up the same battle Keep taking place Throughout the hoods in every state They blame it on the mindstate and say we can’t relate But that’s the way they hide the new slavery and old hate Then they wonder why we aggressively trying to take our place No more pill swallowing or white supremace following The blacc culture taking over negro king Solomon It’s more than just the clothes or the cars that we driving in Championship mind frame I’m telling you that ima win {It’s just another day in the hood~~ But life moves on~~You gotta stay strong~~ Can’t let nobody grab the wheel and steer you wrong~~ And you can’t let them hold you down for good~} {It’s just another day in the hood~~ We just tryna survive another day in the life Just to make a couple buccs I gotta sacrifice~~ Cuz I can’t let them hold me down for good}
