Yeah… it’s real out here
We ain’t playin’ no games
Syncere in the trenches Came up from the bottom, I was grindin’ in the cold
Pain in my heart but my chain still gold
Loyalty forever, I ain’t never gon’ fold
This that hood life story, gotta let it be told Posted on the block where the sirens don’t sleep
Lost a couple brothers, buried six feet deep
Mama said pray, but the streets still preach
Got war in my city, ain’t no sign of peace Dreams of a Wraith but I’m ridin’ in a bucket
Enemies watchin’, gotta keep it tucked, trust it
Tryna make a dollar when the world said “fuck it”
Hood scars on my soul, but you know I still love it Came up from the bottom, I was grindin’ in the cold
Pain in my heart but my chain still gold
Loyalty forever, I ain’t never gon’ fold
This that hood life story, gotta let it be told Youngins on the corner, tryna live like kings
But the crown heavy when you earn it with pain
I done seen friends switch, I done seen foes sing
Gotta watch who around when the jealousy sting Cash in the duffle, pray the feds don’t raid
Made it out the mud, but my shoes still stained
Heart full of hunger, soul full of rage
In the hood every day feel like a cage Came up from the bottom, I was grindin’ in the cold
Pain in my heart but my chain still gold
Loyalty forever, I ain’t never gon’ fold
This that hood life story, gotta let it be told
