[Spoken]
Yeah, I'm right here man
All day, every day, yeah
[Verse 1]
Born right here and forever I'll stay
But I got a lot of hopes and dreams in the way
I don't see you, that corny dude with that suit and that tie
Destined to work a nine to five ‘til he die, I can't be you
Nah, I'm right here with the metal
In Hell already, boy here with the Devil
Plot already picked, I'm just waiting on the shovel
I'm higher than the sun, you can't get on my level, no chance
Fall for everything no stance, wanders aimlessly through life
No plans, no goals, no job, no vision, you can catch me in the kitchen
Cooking up that rock up and dish it
So Sally Mae you could keep your tuition, your boy too hood for dat
Wife and kids with a picket fence, nah my life too good for dat
Homie, I'm Clive Lee Hood
[Hook]
Hold up, let's get things understood
This is home, wouldn't leave if I could
Life s**s but the money's all good
I ain't going nowhere, I'm Clive Lee Hood
[Verse 2]
I love the struggle, embrace the pain
Turn my back on the sun just to face the rain
Find a crooked pastor, you could trace the blame
I'm an agnostic just to make it plain
Mommy tryna tell me I'mma miss the train
But that train already left me
She pled the blood of Jesus on my life every night
But dear Momma them prayers they didn't help me
I ain't ashamed of the man that I came to be
I had D-boys, pushers training me, come closer
You could see the Cain in me, you say I'm able
But all I see is Cain in me, yeah
A good job with a suit and a tie man, the boy too hood for dat
You tryna tell me I'mma burn for the life I live
Man, my life too good for dat
Homie, I'm Clive Lee Hood
[Hook] [2x]
Hold up, let's get things understood
This is home, wouldn't leave if I could
Life s**s but the money's all good
I ain't going nowhere, I'm Clive Lee Hood
[Verse 3]
I know my life ain't perfect
I hear this voice say my life's worthless
And I think I wanna change
But how can I with a pocket full of change?
So I bleed the block ‘til it's stained
While you selling junk I'm selling cane
Society never helped me
So I'll be the blame for society's pain
You feel it, I deal it
Come close you can hear it in the vein
They tell me I could change, it's too late I'm a lion untamed
This young dude trying to threaten my life
Man, the boy too hood for dat
Caught me slipping one fateful night, now I'm laying on my back
Homie, I'm Clive Lee…
