I have the hood in my veins
the hustle is my blood,
The hood is my home
the hood showed me love.
I have street in my brain
the struggle on my mind ,
The hood is my home
the hood showed me life.
I have pain in my eyes
mouth opens with lies ,
The hood is my home
that conveys silent cries.
I have a hood as my home
the one I’ve always lived in,
The hood showed me sin
Now I pray for forgiveness.
My home has eyes,
and it watched me grow
The hood is my home
the only one I know.
