Welcome To The Hood |
| And I say welcome to the hood, welcome to the hood |
| Welcome to the place where nothing ever ends up good |
| And they say that you’re a disgrace if you can’t find yourself a job |
| Around here there’s either been a drought and there’s been a flood |
| No one ever built an ark for anybody from the block |
| Man are tryna ring the heavens but God never gets in touch |
| For certain people it’s a must to come across as tough |
| 'Cause you don’t wanna be a victim when Berettas start to bust |
| And I say welcome to the hood, welcome to the hood |
| Where no one teaches you to love because we’re all products of lust |
| We learn to tell a lie before we even learn to trust |
| And then we see our people die as if the sorrow ain’t enough |
| So-and-so killed so-and-so, I struggle to keep up |
| A victim of knife crime, they hit him in the lung |
| The press are making articles, expressing their disgust |
| But where there’s no opportunities, survival is a must |
| And I say welcome to the hood, welcome to the hood |
| Where boredom leads to depression, depression leads to drugs |
| And drugs numb the pain of all the fucked-up stuff |
| That you have to see when you’re forced into growing up |
| Nobody’s responsible, everybody’s corrupt |
| School’s a waste of time cah we’re learning outta books |
| And when you’re academic you get taken for a mug |
| 'Cause mathematics won’t help when you’re in a puddle of blood |
| And I say welcome to the hood, welcome to the hood |
| Feels like the only thing that ever settles is the dust |
| We try and keep it clean but the stress builds up |
| And it was all a dream until Biggie got shot |
| Welcome to the place that I call home |
| Be careful it don’t turn your heart to stone |
| Welcome to the war and battling |
| You live or you die, you lose or you win |
| And I say welcome to the hood, welcome to the hood |
| The person they call mental health is the person that we call mum |
| We either don’t have a dad or we have more than one |
| And we’re told to fly the nest before we even learn to run |
| You don’t have to be a soldier here to hold a gun |
| And watching other people suffer is what we consider fun |
| 'Cause suffering is standard, you’ll have to toughen up |
| At least that’s what your mother tells you when she’s fully drunk |
| People steal for a living and end up in the can |
| It’s miles easier in jail, but you wouldn’t understand |
| Being a criminal is not part of the plan |
| But how are you supposed to work when nobody will take you on? |
| So I say welcome to the hood, welcome to the hood |
| Depression and anxiety get swept under the rug |
| These gangsters in your family, welcome to the club |
| Because there’s plenty of gangsters in a city full of thugs |
| Being born into the politics of poverty is rough |
| You can look down your nose at us, but only God can judge |
| Most of us are afraid to pray to the above |
| 'Cause Pac said there ain’t no heaven for a thug |
| Welcome to the hood, welcome to the hood |
| Welcome to the place where nothing ever ends up good |
| And they say that you’re a disgrace if you can’t find yourself a job |
| Around here there’s either been a drought and there’s been a flood |
| Welcome to the place that I call home |
| Be careful it don’t turn your heart to stone |
| Welcome to the war and battling (This is my world) |
| You live or you die, you lose or you win |
| They say there ain’t no heaven for a thug |
| Seems like my good ain’t ever good enough |
| Feels like I’m running, running outta love |
| You live or you die, you lose or you win |
| They say there ain’t no heaven for a thug |
| Seems like my good ain’t ever good enough |
| Feels like I’m running, running outta love |
| You live or you die, you lose or you win |
| Welcome to the place that I call home |
| Be careful it don’t turn your heart to stone |
| Welcome to the war and battling |
| You live or you die, you lose or you win |
| You lose or you win |
