Nobody Loves The Hood (Huey)

This goes out to all my kids out there in the hood, ya know Going through the struggle and what not There's always something bad that could happen in the hood Ya know, yeah Momma where you at, daddy where you at? The hood's out of control, time to fight back Kids just doing time, ain't nothing but crime Because they don't believe the sun can still shine Waited too long, now it's a problem You see what it is, how it go wrong Ooh, that's understood 'Cause nobody loves the hood Man, this hook is too true to believe in Where da hell is ya momma and daddy when you need 'em? Born in the hood, so the hood's in ya heart Though nothing's been good in the hood from the start Either you was with ya momma or never had a daddy? Or never had neitha and was raised wit' ya granny It's a cold ass world fa the younga generation In err hood somebody would, time to be facing For a fucked up reason, a bad ass time Then gave up, they don't think the sun still shine Brush it against the wall, forced to do crime Some say they'll die before they do time 'Cause jail ain't the place to be Might be the place for you but ain't for me, yeah You enjoying yo life, why? 'Cause your fists grip wood But the kids doing bad 'cause nobody loves da hood Momma where you at, daddy where you at? The hood's out of control, time to fight back Kids just doing time, ain't nothing but crime Because they don't believe the sun can still shine Waited too long, now it's a problem You see what it is, how it go wrong Ooh, that's understood 'Cause nobody loves the hood Man, the kids always getting lectured But what do you expect when they have no direction Father in jail, mother strung out No curfew, late nights, hung out Getting money on the zone, now it is a problem 'Cause they selling white rocks, carrying a revolver Everybody gotta eat somehow, someway Wishing they'll make it out somehow, someday They can put the drugs down and pick up the books There's only a few good cops 'cause most of them crooks Supposed to protect and serve but now they got the nerve To say they want criminals up off of the curb It's a cold ass world, especially for male They filling up more than half of all jails The government got the world misunderstood I dedicate this to the ones who love the hood Momma where you at, daddy where you at?
