[Verse 1] The hood is down Whatever happened to this side of town We get no visitors, the mail man wont even make his rounds This once good neighborhood, gotten so out of bounds Daylight to Nightlight constant gun sounds Every block is surround by Niggas that hell bound Got little kids afraid to go play on the playground They traded their Playgrounds for warzones The Environment is a prison, full of teens with no intervention, That dont think before making decisions or blink when the world craving their attention Lack of Activitys and abilitys led them astray toward a pathway of doing such negativitys, Which in result have them blind to see theres possibility in positivity Badly but sadly only 10 would probably make it out Thats like growing 200 tomatoes but Only 10 would barely Escaped the drought Savages rather shoot it out than talk it out Hell, even the residents barely try to plan something out. They rather not snitch and watch the violence sprout other than trying to regain the neighborhoods clout Now some will see my intellect on this subject as disrespect and Neglect the message im trying to dialect When they realize theres more than meet the eyes Then theyll be surprise and ask themselves how can one little street can swallow so many lives Its sad what my neighborhood has become, They thinking violence is the outcome to solve their problem They terrorize the streets, immobilize the weak, Idolize the lies rappers speak Fantasize about blasting someone with the heat, but cry and snitch when face with defeat Where are the leaders to lead theses sheeps Wheres the mentors to strengthen these minds thats weak I wonder what my old friends doing now I havent seen my team ever since they was caught up with the lifestyle I wonder if they evered ponder, thinking was it even worth while Just to think how everyone and everything in the hood was supreme Now when i drive by all I see is abandoned homes, fragile lives and shattered dreams This is why I frown when I ride around my hometown Seeing how quickly the hood has fallen down
