We Are the Hood

I'm tryna be a better man for myself first
Pray the God, my sons will find out what they really worth
This shit is hard and I really can't figure out
How to live a good life taking the long route
My job trash, wish I was blowin money fast
Up in Harlem shopping bags down to 5th ave
But I gotta keep square, can't be a blockhead
These streets dead and nobody fuckin with the feds
Got bad habits, smoking bud is automatic
But I'd rather blow trees than pop a couple Xanax
This ain't magic, I can't make the tears vanish
Thinking bout the niggas we lost, the shit tragic
I spill Henny, the names is getting too many
Wanna live rich, but death is taking every penny
We all want outta the hood, it take time
That's why I pray to my Lord before write rhymes

We are the hood, and everything is a good vibe
Gettin high while watching police drive by
One time for my niggas up in the sky
Two times for my people tryna get by

We are the hood, and everything is a good vibe
Gettin high while watching police drive by
One time for my niggas up in the sky
Two times for my people tryna get by

You know the struggle, 9-5 with a side hustle
We either working or tuckin weapons in belt buckles
All for the love the family why we chase paper
I gotta get my momma a house before she meet her maker
Alotta pressure, stashing quarters under the dresser
It only makes sense to niggas if you had lesser
I gotta get right within so I can lead the way
Take my children to paradise on a winter day
These just dreams, but speak it cause I really want it
I know I got it, so my niggas said I gotta flaunt it
That's how I'm on it, shooting star, it's Reem Comet
Blazing trails in the sky looking like star vomit
Can I live? I'm reppin for The Bronx kid
A skinny nigga but I was raised think big
Do it for the kids, the future's all we really got
That's why we have all our BBQ's out on the block

We are the hood, and everything is a good vibe
Gettin high while watching police drive by
One time for my niggas up in the sky
Two times for my people tryna get by

We are the hood, and everything is a good vibe
Gettin high while watching police drive by
One time for my niggas up in the sky
Two times for my people tryna get by
