One Day In the Hood
One day in the hood can change your life
you'll see why we live by the gun and the knife
before you know it you're smoking, drinking
and rolling dice
in the hood the cops are the cats
and we are the mice
being chased while trying to survive
no matter what you do your never right
so you might as well do what you gotta do
to make it through the night
Don't fall into the hype
cus that will be you ass
and that one day in the hood
can be your last
