Gwilson:

Think about it,
haven't seen my dad in 8 years,
feelin' the pain 4 i've cried more than 8 tears.
tryin' 2 believe that freedom is still free,
That ain't da truth,
b cuz the police tryin 2 kill me.
can't complain 4 the hood life is where it's at.
never seen me cuz i'm a hoodrat.
feeling the pain of life from day 2 day.
can't complain cuz i'm feelin it this way.

the
hoodlife
ain't
over...

we still live
in the ghetto....

and we
say good bye to
the only fellow... about the
crew....

we stand up
and take pride....

or we no longer
stay true....

bow your head
and take off
your hat....

to show your respect....

and its the
hood you wanna protect....

but you the only aspect.....

so what do I do?... if no one wants to
follow me....

do I let them
swallow me?... or do I just stand and wait for
myself to die...

  Gwilson:

or 2 ride on our enemies,
where is our pride?
2 take an innocent life,
where is our hope?
but tryin' 2 find peace
when it's over.
never 2 seek comfort
from a soldier.
Never able to see my life with open glee,
cuz now i found out we're a dyin' breed.
