CHORUS:
That night I met a Hood Angel,
who wuzzant no Stranger,
sometimes they bad,
but they can be Good,
Ofttimes Misunderstood,
like a Tree-PaperWood,
but they lookout,
for the Neighborhood.
On:
CHORUS:
1.
Now I know this is different,
from the Corner to the Block,
But the Hood is much more,
than the Violence Unlock.
In the Streets and the Roads,
you see 'em Morning, Noon & Night,
But we all can be judged,
because no sins are Right.
But there's one thing 4-SHO,
that I know to be Fact,
It's a sweet whisper of cheer,
to hear someone's got your Back.
CHORUS:
2.
They may be Hood Rats,
packing gats ready to Smack,
But they've got Skills to Pay the Bills,
and rise above the Lack.
From basic Artwork in Drawings,
to beautiful Muriel Painting,
Handiwork Experts and more,
but very seldom Complaining.
Living in condemned buildings,
or sleeping under a Bridge,
Hoping for a Hot Meal,
or something Cold from the Fridge.
Seeking and Searching,
for a Stellar Escape,
Undiscovered stars not seen,
by the telescope's Take.
CHORUS:
3.
Looking for any kinda Break,
although often they're Broken,
Called a society's mistake,
yet for Peace-Praying and Hoping.
Now there's no excuse,
for the Misuse and Abuse,
But all Gangsters not Pranksters,
they just looking for Use.
For taking care of Family,
is what it's all About,
And if this was understood,
you would Help 'em Out.
But don't get it twisted,
they not afraid of the Danger,
So my Prayer of Care to Share,
is on that night I met a Hood Angel.
CHORUS:
