| Wow, it’s gettin' real crazy out here
|
| Everywhere we look we see crime, poverty, drug-sellin' and drug-usin',
|
| prostitution, homelessness
|
| We caught up in some true hood politics
|
| Just because they smile and laughin' when they passin' through
|
| What’s up?
|
| It don’t mean that they won’t kill you
|
| Who created hood politics?
|
| Who orchestrates these hood politics?
|
| How long will we continue to live in this condition?
|
| Most of us are livin' in a place where love is missin'
|
| Negligence and dependin' on government assistance
|
| Wishin' for a lick that we can hit, it’s nothing different
|
| Hard to get some money so you almost out of luck now
|
| Had to pull a stunt and got a felony, you stuck now
|
| Did some time in prison, it was rough when you got busted
|
| Couldn’t find no work when you got out, went back to hustlin'
|
| You was still on paper so right back in jail you landed
|
| You followed the formula exactly how they planned it
|
| Locked you in a cell and then they held you like a hostage
|
| ‘cause prison is a industry and niggas are the profit
|
| Actin' like they care but secretly, we gettin' laughed at
|
| How did our hood get tore up? |
| We don’t even ask that
|
| Lookin' for a way to make people open their eyes up
|
| Others makin' laws to guarantee we never rise up
|
| Just because they smile and laughin' when they passin' through
|
| What’s up?
|
| It don’t mean that they won’t kill you
|
| Who created hood politics?
|
| Hey trill, sing it with me, baby, c’mon
|
| Just because they smile and laughin' when they passin' through
|
| What’s up?
|
| It don’t mean that they won’t kill you
|
| Who created hood politics?
|
| Who orchestrates these hood politics?
|
| We be buyin' when we can’t even afford it
|
| Money runnin' through our hands but somehow we the poorest
|
| Consumin' and not dealin', the cycle’s never-endin'
|
| Not focused on businesses or land, too busy spendin'
|
| How did we become this unproductive is the question
|
| Tennis shoes and jewelry more important than investin'
|
| Took your human rights away, run in your house and blast you
|
| Now we out here beggin' for somethin' that should be natural
|
| We don’t own no property so gradually they come slow
|
| Buyin' up the hood and buildin' high-rises and condos
|
| You’ve been out here all your life but this is not your own crib
|
| Too expensive for your ass to stay so where you gon' live?
|
| Everywhere we seem to look it ain’t nothin' but bad news
|
| Every corner, every block, they poison us with fast food
|
| Always in a bad mood, hate and pressure runs us
|
| That’s why we on dope and every night we hearin' guns bust
|
| Just because they smile and laughin' when they passin' through
|
| What’s up?
|
| It don’t mean that they won’t kill you
|

|
| Politicians seekin' office off of selfish reasons
|
| They only come around the hood when it’s election season
|
| Show up at your church lookin' for folks because they leechin'
|
| Soon as they get in, they disappear and you can’t reach ‘em
|
| They legislatin' every law, they make this like a trap though
|
| Black ones sell us off for higher status on some cash flow
|
| Rewired, I think it’s so that wrong is made to feel right
|
| Silly videos to take our focus off of real life
|
| Broke our manhood, now they shoot us and arrest us
|
| Livin' off our women, now our women don’t respect us
|
| No one to protect us, ain’t no hope around me
|
| How can he feed his family when he locked up in the county?
|
| Baby mama, baby daddy fightin' on a daily
|
| Prescription drugs got the people out here going crazy
|
| Purposely they keep us broke and always under stress, main
|
| All because they treatin' us like pieces in a chess game
|
| Just because they smile and laughin' when they passin' through
|
| What’s up?
|
| It don’t mean that they won’t kill you
