Hood Nigga (feat. Nicodemus Legatus) Video (MV)

I'm a hood nigga
Where the streets ain't nothing good to ya
Tryna make a way
Live another day
F*cked up by a stray
Pray for better
I'm a hood nigga
Where the streets ain't really loyal to ya
Caught up in a jam
Tried to call ya mans
Left you in the sand
F*cked you over
Im a hood nigga
Where the streets ain't got no love for ya
Hate to see you shine
Want you in the pine
Leave ya mama crying
No support
I'm a hood nigga
Who love the hood nigga
But I gotta make it out
Walking down the block
Red tape up a lot
Another nigga shot
Wish this shit would stop
Mamas just in shock
No help from the cops
But quick to raid ya spot
Screaming f*ck a op
Bro was up in jail
Had no cash for bail
Know that cell was hell
Claimed nobody cared
Letters here and there
Date moved back a year
Shed a couple tears
Who wanna live life like this
Knowing everyday the block hot like this
Yea I understand that it's hard out here and you tryna make a living, but not like this
The ops like this
Put us in a cell let us rot like shit
Or a bullet in yo ass from that fear bullshit
A brother from another mother shot like this
Why the f*ck is everybody getting popped like this
But I really understand the struggle
Some of yall ain't have enough fam to love you
You gotta make it spray cause you stand in puddles
Say this the only way
It's the only thing you seen
Know you wish it was a dream
Yea I feel where you coming from nigga
Got some niggas cut too early from the scene
Wanna sell a couple dimes for some change in ya jeans
Mindset was to get it Malcom X any means
But you can't build your own road living for the streets
How you started from the ground when you taking from the meek
I never owned a strap
Never thought of shooting gats
Got no time to watch my back fearing imma be deceased
Man it's hell where I'm from
But I love it like a son
I want better days to come
Cause we struggle from the jump
So I gotta make it out
I ain't looking for no clout
I just need a couple bands
To invest up in the land
Understand Imma hood nigga
I'm a hood nigga
Where the streets ain't nothing good to ya
Tryna make a way
Live another day
F*cked up by a stray
Pray for better
I'm a hood nigga
Where the streets ain't really loyal to ya
Caught up in a jam
Tried to call ya mans
Left you in the sand
F*cked you over
Im a hood nigga
Where the streets ain't got no love for ya
Hate to see you shine
Want you in the pine
Leave ya mama crying
No support
I'm a hood nigga
Who love the hood nigga
But I gotta make it out
I'm a west side chi nigga
Where niggas dont hesitate to drill niggas
Hate to acknowledge it but its reality
Cross a nigga head to end our morality
Same shit different day, but I learn to deal with it
Feel like I been on the run my whole life
Before they can pull you clean you can beat the sad shit
Yea I'm a hood nigga but I move different
You wont catch me lacking on some dumb shit
Quick to pull a nigga card if he get to thinking Nico moving on some soft shit
Guess there two things I dont f*ck with
Thats the police and the president
Let me move in silence cause I swear to God they'll kill a nigga if he militant
They dont want us walking with our jeans low and they really hate it when we speak Ebonics
When we walk around in they neighborhoods
They'll look and stare at us like we toxic
Hood nigga with a IQ
I dont see shit from a fair view
We been traumatized for a lot of years and they call the cops and we BBQ
Hood nigga and I'm proud of it
The daily struggle had to rise above
They hate the fact we got a solid culture
But we keep it lowkey cause they all vultures
Never switch on my hood ways I'm just a lot wiser and keep it kosher
I swear the hood could be the place to be if we kill the pride and we all closer
I'm a hood nigga
Where the streets ain't nothing good to ya
Tryna make a way
Live another day
F*cked up by a stray
Pray for better
I'm a hood nigga
Where the streets ain't really loyal to ya
Caught up in a jam
Tried to call ya mans
Left you in the sand
F*cked you over
Im a hood nigga
Where the streets ain't got no love for ya
Hate to see you shine
Want you in the pine
Leave ya mama crying
No support
I'm a hood nigga
Who love the hood nigga
But I gotta make it out
