this is my story
to bad it doesn't have any glory

life in the hood
for surely isn't any good
growing up & living in this twisted society
where people won't even show some piety
people looking down on their fellow man
oops i forgot they don't give a damn
they're ignorant motto is "i gots mine"
but how much ass did they have to kiss
worrying about when they would be dismissed
then we have the unnecessary crime
people do it in their spare time
but who's son or daughter have they killed
i wonder if they're fulfilled.

we need to save the hood
everything is so misunderstood
all the lives going down the drain
so many humans feeling pain
i understand & im sorry

so many people should regret
but they don't give a fucking sweat
what happened to having a dream
now they've been carried downstream
does anyone care about the poor
honestly i can't be for sure anymore
many have tried so hard
but have just be scarred
why do they end up in jail
most were just on the wrong trail
trying to make it & survive
they took the long, hard dive

we need to save the hood
everything is so misunderstood
all the lives going down the drain
so many humans feeling pain
i understand & im sorry

they'll always be victims of these streets
never being able to make ends meet
life makes people go crazy
unfortunately life doesn't become a white daisy
things become dazey & hazy
 
we need to save the hood
everything is so misunderstood
all the lives going down the drain
so many humans feeling pain
i understand & im sorry
im sorry so sorry
