Josh P - MY HOOD lyrics

(hook) Im tryna stay alive Make this money till i die Hope to make it big Hopefully to see a smile On mommy face When i buy that house Thats all she ever wanted Was to see me make out (x2) My hood Guns are slining Fiends are breeding While im looking out my window My mom was sleeping She kept me from harm Never want no wrongs From her last child As i creep To put my sneakers on She heard my footsteps Tryna creep out Into them project halls Made my way outside to play some ball Even tho i knew consequences Couldn't keep a lil boy locked up in cages Then again What you expect from a mother 6 Almost lost her last child to system And his pop's sick Only income in the house she bringing Working all night just to make sure we eat right Mama i know your feet tired Sit down for a while Let me make right All them miles you walk you talk Crying that you done When you see me movin up I Owe you a lifetime (hook) Im tryna stay alive Make this money till i die Hope to make it big Hopefully to see a smile On mommy face When i buy that house Thats all she ever wanted Was to see me make out (x2) My hood Yeah uh As i get older The streets Get colder Ain't no telling when you step out If your life is over I seen it happen before My man died Playing b-ball Now his son is left without no father Why the hell Would you take a life So innocent Who the hell is you To decide Who lives Who breathes Who get a chance To see The finer things Life brings You ain't god You f**ing coward Oh lord i pray All my hard work pays I make out the hood today Get the fam. (abbreviation for family) A better place Some where up in the hills Where life won't stress them And my little nieces play around without no bullets crossing Just my dream Hope to turn reality If you just believe In your dreams Then maybe you can see The vision that i see When i think about how im gonna make it out When i focus on that route (hook) Im tryna stay alive Make this money till i die Hope to make it big Hopefully to see a smile On mommy face When i buy that house Thats all she ever wanted Was to see me make out (x2) My hood x2
