[Verse 1: Lady Breezy]
Riding round the city
Chilling just cruising
Cops still hara**ing
Junkies still abusing
This is nothing new
It happens everyday
I'm just tryna keep trouble
From around my way
Obamas in office
Ain't sh** changed
Black folks still going through
The same thing
No job, no money
Gotta hit a lick
And you wonder why
She's fifteen turning tricks
It's hard out here
But we gotta make it through
No school supplies
But you got some new shoes
Won't go to church
But you're up at six every week
To stand in line for
Some new Jordans on your feet
Come on black folks
We gotta do better
She dropped outta school
After only one semester
Looking silly and left
Wondering whats next
She needs to stop
And put her life in context
[Hook]
Rolling through the hood
And this is what I see x2
[Verse 2: Lady Breezy]
I get a headache
Thinking bout the future youth
They're used to lies
So they gone run from the truth
Growing up you gotta
Slang rocks or have a jumper
NBA no way a doctor or a lawyer
Narrow minded so the thoughts
Don't seep in
Conditioned to the welfare
On which they depend
No shots I'm just telling it
Like it is
Roll through my hood and I bet
You gone see this
Turn through victory you gone see
Nothing but blue
Gang banging getting that illegal revenue
On the playground is where the
Little kids play
From dusk to dawn 247 everyday
On the court
Where the hoopers put in work
With handles like Rondo
And a jumper like Dirk
And you gone see graffii on the sides of walls
My hood and yo hood
It's the same yall
[Hook]
Rolling through the hood
And this is what I see x2
[Verse 3: Lady Breezy]
It's the same thing
My hood and yours too
Young brothers out here
Dying over the red and blue
So what do we do
What is the solution
To claim you care
But you're apart of the pollution
Not pointing fingers
Because we're all not doing our part
We have to stick together
And start being smart
It hurts sometimes and
I don't think I can take it
But I believe in God
And I know we gone make it
[Hook]
Rolling through the hood
And this is what I see x2
