Hood Made

Yeah…

Came from the bottom, still standin’ on ten

Same old me, just a whole lotta wins

Ayy—

I’m hood made, baby, I don’t switch sides

Black truck rollin’ with the windows midnight

Bass hit hard, make the whole block shake

I don’t need permission, baby, I take my place

Hood made, hood raised, still got class

Talk real slick, but I back that ass—

Up with the truth, I ain’t scared of a thing

Started with a little, now I’m livin’ like a king

Pull up clean with the whole thing blacked

Everybody look when they hear that slap

I remember days when the money ran thin

Now I walk through the door like, “Where we begin?”

Never had much, had to make my lane

Turned hard times into gasoline flames

Got a little attitude, little Southern in me

Georgia on the plate, whole world gon’ see

I ain’t gotta fake it, I came this way

Still know everybody from around my way

If I eat, then my people get a plate

That’s hood love, baby, everybody straight

I’m hood made, baby, I don’t switch sides

Black truck rollin’ with the windows midnight

Bass hit hard, make the whole block shake

I don’t need permission, baby, I take my place

Hood made, hood raised, still got class

Talk real slick, but I back that ass—

Up with the truth, I ain’t scared of a thing

Started with a little, now I’m livin’ like a king

Gold in my smile, little ice on the wrist

Whole lotta people never thought I’d get this

But I kept pushin’ when the road got rough

Now they hollerin’ my name when I pullin’ up

808 knock like somebody at the door

Give me one mic, I’ma give ’em some more

Little bit country, little bit street

Put them both together with a nasty-ass beat

Ain’t forgot nothin’, I remember them days

That’s why I thank God every time I get paid

Still got love for the ones back home

Hood made forever, no matter where I roam

HOOD MADE! Baby, I don’t switch sides

Black truck rollin’ with the windows midnight

Bass hit hard, make the whole damn block shake

Came from the bottom—now look what we made!

Hood made! Hood raised! Put it up high!

We survived everything they said we wouldn’t survive

From the dirt to the lights, let ’em know my name—

I changed my situation, but I never changed!
