In the Hood

Wanna know what's in here?
Look, it's simple as life.

In the hood, 
Is like
Starting and
Standing solitary-
Alone there,
Is of no good.

But, if really
You desire
Things, healthy
And more yielding;
Then you
Should start
Seeing strength
In your weaknesses. 

And learning to adapt,
If have started;
Be consistent
In your actions.

Then look, and
Rise beyond,
What minds could imagine,
In the hood.
