Uhh..Uh.. speak without thinkin..Speak without speakin.. huh..Feel without reachin, uhhThat’s what it’s aboutIt’s about that, inner, inner love, yaknawmean?
God love us hood niggas (I know)Cause next to Jesus on the cross was the crook niggas (I know)And the killers, God love us good niggas (I know)Cause on the streets is the hood niggas, uhhAnd I know he feel us, uhhGod love us hood niggas (I know)Cause he be wit us in the prisonsAnd he takes time to listen, uhhGod love us hood niggas (I know)Cause next to Jesus on the cross was the crook niggas, uhhBut he forgive us
He who has ears, let him hearAnd he who has sight, let him seeHe who has life, let him beSee everything goes through changeThose who know don’t talkAnd those who talk don’t know a thingMen are born soft and turn toughDead lay a stiffened heart, I’ve been kissed by GodI’ve been hurt, I’ve been marked for death, almost ripped apartBy the beast but he missed his markAlone in the dark my thoughts had sparked upWhen I saw my body on the floor, from above I watch it allYo it came to me, the pain in meMany slain empty skulls where a brain should beIt strangely seemed, like it was a dreamBut the sirens had never woke meOnly reason I’m here now is cause God chose meAnd to me, I’m only just a crook nigga
But God love us hood niggas
Day by day by day I sit back and prayMy thugs get packed away, in a maxi-cageThey pass away, they went off the casket wayMy gats will spray, but that won’t bring em back todaySo long my crimies now gone for eternityThe team we got left on the set, now turn to meCan’t speak, tears in my eyes, revenge in my mindI ride past the church where they got his body and findThey takin him to the hearse to put his body in dirtThat’s it, pay my respects, wipe my tears with my shirtNow it’s time to do work, out of love and retributionAs loyalty, he would die for me, no excusesLoadin clips up, countin bullets carefullyFor self, though it feels like, he was there for meSaw the enemy, I ate him, saw Jakes behind meThey ain’t knock me, it’s obvious that God’s watchin me
Jealousy in the hood, felonies in the hoodThugs wit guns become celebrities in the hoodYo it’s beef in the hood, smoke trees in the hoodLittle girls have seeds by O.G.’s in the hoodIt’s food in the hood, it’s drugs in the hoodYou can choose if you would, coke to sniffDope to ooze in your blood, paroleesEx-cons live in the hood, it’s jobs in the hoodYou can starve in the hoodYour best friends’ll fuck your baby moms in the hoodBut it’s good in the hoodI was raised in the hoodWas taught how to walk and duck strays in the hoodI stays in the hood, got my ways from the hoodLearned to play ball go to the NBA, in the hoodThere’s AIDS (uh) in the hood (WHAT?)Our lives are the worst, on top of that, we brokeThat’s the main reason why God, love us the most
