(Chorus)
In my hood, boy meets girl, girl falls in love with a thug, in my hood, thug gets caught now his dream is locked up, take a look in my hood single mother raising kids on they own what a shame, daddy still out there stuck in the game and I cant point the finger cuz I don't know who to blame, but I want to make a change of mind.
(Verse)
I bet you didnt know I, I come from the rainiest skies, but where Im from i feel the powers have died ( who the fuck is that has no gun but say Im goint stay in fight)
see the future through my eyes even though there's gritty in the ghetto paradise I know that drey is listening pac is listening, put up your lighter if theres somebody that your missing in the hood
(Chorus)
In my hood, boy meets girl, girl falls in love with a thug, in my hood, thug gets caught now his dream is locked up, take a look in my hood single mother raising kids on they own what a shame, daddy still out there stuck in the game and I cant point the finger cuz i don't know who to blame, but i want to make a change of mind.
(Verse)
now til you know what its like, when you cant even sleep a night, hear my homies speaking Spanish outside (speaking Spanish .........) sounds of the ambulance, here the sounds of the fire trucks, sounds of the police sirens, all bodies spraying
(Chorus)
In my hood, boy meets girl, girl falls in love with a thug, in my hood, thug gets caught now his dream is locked up, take a look in my hood single mother raising kids on they own what a shame, daddy still out there stuck in the game and i cant point the finger cuz i don't know who to blame, but i want to make a change of mind.
(Verse)
Im lonely in this good heat where its cold, all my people dying one by one now this is wrong, i recall when i was younger hide and seek we use play , now its such a shame as if those memories away, i could feel it in my fingers, i could feel it in my soul, but i dont want to leave it , i dont want to let it go, so i pick up on the beat and Im a play some classical, hip hop, and R&B, and now the hood about to go.
(Chorus).
In my hood, boy meets girl, girl falls in love with a thug, in my hood, thug gets caught now his dream is locked up, take a look in my hood single mother raising kids on they own what a shame, daddy still out there stuck in the game and i cant point the finger cuz i don't know who to blame, but i want to make a change of mind.
