Ode to the Hood

We lock our doors up in the hood

But everybody’s welcomed to our village

I got cousins who ain’t blood

Cause family don’t always mean my lineage

I got brothers in a game

Brothers in the cage

Sister’s in the trenches

Babies in the streets

Babies running wild

Children with a smile on a mission

Babies in the streets

Babies running wild

Haunted by the ghost around

Cause everybody’s got somebody underground

We lock our doors up in the hood

But everybody’s welcomed to our village

I got cousins who ain’t blood

Cause family don’t always mean my lineage

I got Sister’s in a cage

Sisters in the game

Brothers in the trenches

OG’s in the streets

OG’s running town

Elders with a smile and a vision

OG’s in the streets

OG’s running town

Soon they’ll be the ghost around

Cause everybody’s gone be somebody underground

In the hood

We lock our doors up in the hood

We lock our doors up in the hood

We lock our doors up in the hood

We lock our doors up , we lock our doors up

We lock our doors up in the hood

We lock our doors, we lock our doors up

We lock our doors , We lock our doors up in the hood

We lock our doors, we lock our doors up , we lock our doors

We lock our doors up in the hood

But everybody’s welcomed to our village

I got cousins who ain’t blood

Cause family don’t always mean my lineage

Family don’t always mean blood

I got brothers in a game

Sisters in the cage

Families in the trenches

Uncles in the streets

Aunties running wild

People with a smile on a mission

Babies in the streets

OG’s running town

Soon we’ll be the ghost around

Cause everybody’s gone be somebody underground
