[Verse]
In the hood, man, justice comin' quick,
Runnin' from the law, never been a lick,
Friends turned foes, loyalty be a riddle,
Life on the edge, play ya like a fiddle.
[Verse 2]
Streets be talkin', heard it through the grapevine,
Homies on the corners, slangin' like it's daytime,
Cruisin' through the block, everything so shaky,
Lookin' for the truth, but the truth be flaky.
[Chorus]
Hood justice, ain't no courtroom,
Settle all the scores, night or afternoon,
Life in the struggle, ain't no damn cartoon,
Grindin' through the pain, hopin' we see June.
[Verse 3]
Cops on the prowl, feel the heat, yo,
Running through alleys, duckin' them streets, though,
Power in numbers, never roll solo,
Ride for my kin, that's the motto we follow.
[Verse 4]
Whispers in the alleys, secrets held tight,
Survival in the trenches, hustlin' night,
Enemies schemin', tryna dim my light,
But we never back down, always ready to fight.
[Chorus]
Hood justice, ain't no courtroom,
Settle all the scores, night or afternoon,
Life in the struggle, ain't no damn cartoon,
Grindin' through the pain, hopin' we see June.
