Hood Living

I remember how we ran the streets
I remember all the shit that I seen
Things you wouldn't believe
Saw a body laying out in the heat
But the summer took away all the grief
Such a cold memory
I remember playing hide and seek
Camping in the front yard every weekend
Back then I swear we saw the world how we wanted to be
Sometimes we couldn't face the reality
That it'd be no lights, no heat, sleeping head to feet
Top Ramen on the stove, good weed
House keys, tight jeans
Kissing in the skating rink
Hood living wasn't always a dream
But I loved it
Hood lessons taught a whole lotta things
No blessing
Hood living it ain't all that it seems
You gotta love it
Hood lessons brought the best out of me, oh, yeah
I remember them days, chilling with my cousins
Talking low, couldn't get caught cussing
Bad as hell, the food was good, but my grades was decent
Every Sunday it was singing and preaching
Till this day, I still go back to my block
Even though wolves eat lifestock
You know how I rock
South side never kicking me out
'Cause I got love for the ones with or without
No lights, no heat, sleeping head to feet
Top Ramen on the stove, good weed
House keys, tight jeans
Kissing in the skating rink
Hood living wasn't always a dream
But I loved it
Hood lessons taught a whole lotta things
No blessing
Hood living it ain't all that it seems
You gotta love it
Hood lessons brought the best out of me, oh, yeah
Hey, said I love my hood, it's all good
South side crazy
West side crazy
Oh na-na-na-na-na-na
Oh na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, uh
