"From Da Hood" (a real short verison)
Lol ah shit jo
This shit is insane......mind games played by the lame
In all! niggaz still cant recognize the name
This be D son, mo, money or where ever you from
I can’t believe this shit niggaz out this bitch now a-days is strictly dumb
I try to be calm n cool, respective but collective
But what the fuck, I ain’t from the hood because I went to Progressive?
Like I don’t know bout bodies stretched out in the street
Like I don’t know how to duck when them strays putting niggaz to sleep
I ain’t from the hood cause I went to private schools?
But where I lived for 8yrs.?...
........ seen so much blood I could make a backyard pool
Crack house across the street, but quick there’s no time
5’0 coming down the street to mark another niggaz chalk line
2 bed apartment dead babies on the second floor
Got my mother screaming and yelling “Daniel go lock that door”
Security, Security no help because they not around
Around here only protection you got is the Bible or a trey pound
Round and round quick nigga get down
Run to mom and dads room before a bullet makes you one with the ground
What’s going on?.........Shit I don’t know
All I know is this is a routine route for me and sis to go
But I don’t know shit because I went to private school
I laugh simply because only if these mothafuckaz knew
A menace in three schools, got kicked out of all three
Hate to say it but I guess the hood? maybe a lil in me
I watched niggaz on the block package and sail
Sad because in my hood niggaz wasn’t fortunate to make it to jail
Apartment building on the news ,shit, more then I can say
Someone say “D we saw your home on T.V.” the next day
Southeast, DC living on Q street right off of Good Hope Rhode
Living with possums, rats, and roaches shit only God knows
But like I said before Progressive Christian was my home
A school where I decided to keep the hood shit unknown
Kicked out but at least a nigga still doing good
I laugh because only if they knew.........
......that your boy ain’t from no block or street but the mothafuckin hood
