In my hood hating and praying are worsts enemies.
You see in my hood hate is like a drug,once you get addicted
You get destroyed
In my hood young man started thuggin
Which leads to dieing
Mother start crying
Tears wouldn't stopping dropping
In my hood the sun don't shine
The light is of on some street
Family get weak
In my hood it seen like God not listening to all the cry
Why?
In my hood , which describe me
Young, scared and weak
