life in da hood
aint no good 

it  is full of strife
yo neighbor he/she maybe screwing yo husband and yo wife

it is sadder than a song sung by Ella
filled wit mo drama than sleazy novella 

folks walking around in their own could
playing music, talking and smoking LOUD 

da streets are deadlier than the old wild west
you only semi-safe in yo own home at best

You can buy anything on them-from a gun for yo protection
to pills to give you an erection

on our Creator it is a bad reflection
we desperately need a course correction
