H.O.O.D. - Masta Ace[00:00:00]
Yea goin' out to the h double[00:00:08]
That's for you you and you[00:00:14]
They got broke people poor people my people your people[00:00:17]
Wherever I go listen[00:00:21]
And they won't change ever change can't change don't change[00:00:23]
And everyone knows[00:00:27]
As I travel through various towns and strange places[00:00:28]
I see the same scowls and frowns on the same faces[00:00:32]
The game races and cats try to catch it[00:00:35]
Before they know it they know death on a first name basis[00:00:37]
Whether it's slangin' or banging drinking or smokin'[00:00:40]
There's bound to be one cat thinkin' of loccin'[00:00:43]
The hood's like a sitcom[00:00:46]
Leave ya bike outside come back outside I guarantee your sh*t gone[00:00:48]
Young cats be sellin' the rock[00:00:52]
Money busting out they sock mama tellin' them stop[00:00:54]
But desperate times call for desperate means[00:00:58]
It all seems so simple when you're just a teen[00:01:00]
Only take one bad apple to poison the good[00:01:03]
This for the girls on the block the boys in the hood[00:01:05]
And wherever I go it's the same as home[00:01:09]
It's the h double o d the name is known[00:01:11]
They got broke people poor people my people your people[00:01:14]
Wherever I go listen[00:01:18]
And they won't change ever change can't change don't change[00:01:19]
And everyone knows yea[00:01:23]
They got broke people poor people my people your people[00:01:25]
Wherever I go listen[00:01:29]
And they won't change ever change can't change don't change[00:01:31]
And everyone knows listen[00:01:35]
They got wild and rough blocks where it's hard to trust cops[00:01:36]
Get shot on your way to school at the bus stop damn[00:01:40]
That kid was a fine scholar[00:01:43]
Hear his mama whine and holler he died for nine dollars[00:01:45]
Young mothers trying to learn the ropes[00:01:48]
And them one dollar lotto games turn their hopes[00:01:51]
They keep hoping that they number coming[00:01:54]
They dreamin' about getting rich driving in they hummer dummin'[00:01:57]
Old ladies keep they purse in the front[00:02:00]
Cuz them fiends on the prowl it's the first of the month[00:02:02]
And you still feel good when you there yup[00:02:06]
And you know you in the hood when you there[00:02:09]
They got one in every spot on the planet[00:02:11]
And if you wasn't raised there you prolly can not stand it[00:02:14]
Some call it the hood I'm calling it home[00:02:17]
And there's love feel it all in my poem what they got[00:02:19]
They got broke people poor people my people your people[00:02:22]
Wherever I go listen[00:02:25]
And they won't change ever change can't change don't change[00:02:27]
And everyone knows yea[00:02:32]
They got broke people poor people my people your people[00:02:33]
Wherever I go listen[00:02:37]
And they won't change ever change can't change don't change[00:02:39]
And everyone knows[00:02:43]
H dot o dot o dot d[00:02:45]
Should I turn my back on the hood no not me[00:02:48]
Whether p r d r or the west indies[00:02:50]
Or fifty other spots that are just like these[00:02:53]
Chicago know what I mean philly as well[00:02:56]
Sh*t I hear nowadays sounds silly as hell[00:02:59]
Whether in miami or in houston texas[00:03:02]
Where some so broke they're not used to breakfast[00:03:05]
Oakland know what I mean l a too[00:03:08]
D c feel me I can tell they do[00:03:11]
When will it change never I know[00:03:14]
And I see the same things wherever I go[00:03:16]
They got broke people poor people my people your people[00:03:19]
Wherever I go listen[00:03:23]
And they won't change ever change can't change don't change[00:03:24]
And everyone knows yea[00:03:28]
They got broke people poor people my people your people[00:03:30]

They got broke people poor people my people your people[00:03:41]
