Lady Breezy - The Hood lyrics

[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
