Kay Anthony - The hood Took me under Ft Basement Sounds lyrics

See the hood took me under I watched myself get beat cut & sliced like a cucumber these words could never truly tell you the pain i felt nor could it show you the darkness I was surrounded by violence d** hip-hop it was my culture weather the whites liked it or not see the hood took me under sourrounded by dark clouds robbing my mother for her own money so I can get now & laters & a bummy see the hood took me under when I have no where to go they told do this come get recruited I must admit I was stupid but see the same hood took me under & made me the man that I am now they say life's a b**h but I appreciate the hood even though it was filled with guns violence pistols that was used to shoot & give mothers sons silence I think I appreciate because it made me the man that I am now the world is in my favor I would not know how to handle business. Dead roses Look at concrete its blood there probably from some single mothers child we in the wild the jungle one thing I learned in this game is you can't be humble if you to nice you'll stumble it's dead roses in the concrete tired of loosing people to this jungle I'm aware f** being humble I repeat I'm tired of loosing people to this jungle I'm aware f** being humble God watch my footsteps in this jungle please don't let me stumble up on to the blood of that lil boy
