Nobody Loves The Hood

This goes out to all my kids out there in the hood, ya know

Going through the struggle and what not

There's always something bad that could happen in the hood

Ya know, yeah

Momma where you at, daddy where you at?

The hood's out of control, time to fight back

Kids just doing time, ain't nothing but crime

Because they don't believe the sun can still shine

Waited too long, now it's a problem

You see what it is, how it go wrong

Ooh, that's understood

'Cause nobody loves the hood

Man, this hook is too true to believe in

Where da hell is ya momma and daddy when you need 'em?

Born in the hood, so the hood's in ya heart

Though nothing's been good in the hood from the start

Either you was with ya momma or never had a daddy?

Or never had neitha and was raised wit' ya granny

It's a cold ass world fa the younga generation

In err hood somebody would, time to be facing

For a fucked up reason, a bad ass time

Then gave up, they don't think the sun still shine

Brush it against the wall, forced to do crime

Some say they'll die before they do time

'Cause jail ain't the place to be

Might be the place for you but ain't for me, yeah

You enjoying yo life, why? 'Cause your fists grip wood

But the kids doing bad 'cause nobody loves da hood

Momma where you at, daddy where you at?

The hood's out of control, time to fight back

Kids just doing time, ain't nothing but crime

Because they don't believe the sun can still shine

Waited too long, now it's a problem

You see what it is, how it go wrong

Ooh, that's understood

'Cause nobody loves the hood

Man, the kids always getting lectured

But what do you expect when they have no direction

Father in jail, mother strung out

No curfew, late nights, hung out

Getting money on the zone, now it is a problem

'Cause they selling white rocks, carrying a revolver

Everybody gotta eat somehow, someway

Wishing they'll make it out somehow, someday

They can put the drugs down and pick up the books

There's only a few good cops 'cause most of them crooks

Supposed to protect and serve but now they got the nerve

To say they want criminals up off of the curb

It's a cold ass world, especially for male

They filling up more than half of all jails

The government got the world misunderstood

I dedicate this to the ones who love the hood

Momma where you at, daddy where you at?

The hood's out of control, time to fight back

Kids just doing time, ain't nothing but crime

Because they don't believe the sun can still shine

Waited too long, now it's a problem

You see what it is, how it go wrong

Ooh, that's understood

'Cause nobody loves the hood

Stand strong all my lil' soldiers

Reject all negative words people done told ya

Grind how you gotta and make 'em out of believers

Give the middle fingers and tell 'em I don't need ya

Over come the bad and pray to the Lord

Soon to turn good 'cause the grace of the Lord

Now you could smile and say it's all good

I'm never gonna leave 'cause somebody love the hood

Momma where you at, daddy where you at?

The hood's out of control, time to fight back

Kids just doing time, ain't nothing but crime

Because they don't believe the sun can still shine

Waited too long, now it's a problem

You see what it is, how it go wrong

Ooh, that's understood

'Cause nobody loves the hood

Momma where you at, daddy where you at?

The hood's out of control, time to fight back

Kids just doing time, ain't nothing but crime

Because they don't believe the sun can still shine

Waited too long, now it's a problem

You see what it is, how it go wrong

Ooh, that's understood

'Cause nobody loves the hood
