Nothing But Love For The Neighborhood

[Frost]

Haha

Yeah

Now let me tell you about my neighborhood

As I scan through the city, it's not all bad, there's some good

So if you roll through my town don't be nervous

You can still catch a family at a Sunday service

Or hanging out, cooling out, just barbequing

If you ask me, you better check what you be doing

Cuz if you look past the liqour store on every corner

You can find a working man in a van, a home owner

Not everyone is drunk in a ditch

As a matter of fact I heard a broke man became rich

And so it makes me wanna frown

That you would want to put me down cuz my neighborhood of town

But that's cool, it ain't nothing new

So I'ma tell the truth about the hood on this record for you

Now check it

If I could make this world perfect I would, but I can't

And I still got nothing but love for the hood

[Chorus x2: Rich Garcia]

I got love, love, love, love, love

Nothing but love

Nothing but love, love, love, love, love

Nothing but love for the hood

[Frost]

I know a kid born in the projects too

And you should see the things he was subjected to

That didn't mean that he would do the same

Like go find a gun, or run with a gang

He took the right route, he learned a little math

A college education, now a champange of bubble bath

I know another man who makes $4.25

Works two jobs to keep his family alive

You say it's bad? But why's this man filled with joy?

Every Saturday he's playing ball with his little boy

And raising him the right way

Showing him a way out you might say

You see, you're never too old to learn

So just sit back and listen as I take my turn

If I could make this world perfect I would, but I can't

And I still got nothing but love for the hood

[Chorus x2]

[Frost]

Population 69,000

Now that's a whole lot of people that my hood be housing

Most of them are happy, make the best from the worst

But you be trying to act like the ghetto is cursed

Now check it, little kids playing out in the park

Mama yelling out their name when it gets dark

An old man, he takes out his garbage cans

And then he turns with a smile to shake the next man's hand

And all I see is love and sensitivity

But if the government could, then they'd get rid of me

But now I sure am glad that I was brought up strong

Now let me tell you, mama brought the Frost up with values

And if you fall, then I'ma be the first one to help you out

And see, you thought I was the worst one

If I could make this world perfect I would, but I can't

And I still got nothing but love for the hood

[Chorus x2]
