My Hood

Yeah, this where I'm from

My hood made me who I am

Let's go

Grew up where the streetlights flicker, corners hot

Learned young that you protect what you got

Mama worked three jobs just to keep the lights on

Daddy wasn't present but his lessons live on

Every block got a story, every scar got a name

We turned pain into power, turned struggle into game

No silver spoons here, just survival and pride

We hustle hard, never run, never hide

Skrrt

This my hood, this my home

Where the strong survive and the weak don't roam

This my hood, built from pain

We rise from the ashes, we dance in the rain

No cap, this my hood, yeah

This my hood, this my hood

Seen friends fall, seen brothers rise up

Seen dreams die young, seen hope in a cup

But we keep pushing forward, never looking back

Turned our scars into armor, staying on track

Got the city on my shoulders, got the streets in my veins

Every pothole a lesson, every struggle leaves stains

But we made it out the trenches with our heads held high

From the bottom to the top, now we touching the sky

Gang, sheesh

This my hood, this my home

Where the strong survive and the weak don't roam

This my hood, built from pain

We rise from the ashes, we dance in the rain

This my hood, yeah

This my hood, this my hood

It's lit, my hood forever

Where survivors become legends

Yeah
