Ode To The Hood

[Verse 1]
We lock our doors up in the hood
But everybody’s welcomed to our village
I got cousins who ain’t blood
Cause family don’t always mean my lineage
I got brothers in a game
Brothers in the cage
Sister’s in the trenches
Babies in the streets
Babies running wild
Children with a smile on a mission
Babies in the streets
Babies running wild
Haunted by the ghost around
Cause everybody’s got somebody underground

[Verse 2]
We lock our doors up in the hood
But everybody’s welcomed to our village
I got cousins who ain’t blood
Cause family don’t always mean my lineage
I got Sister’s in a cage
Sisters in the game
Brothers in the trenches
OG’s in the streets
OG’s running town
Elders with a smile and a vision
OG’s in the streets
OG’s running town
Soon they’ll be the ghost around
Cause everybody’s gone be somebody underground
In the hood

[Bridge]
We lock our doors up in the hood
We lock our doors up in the hood
We lock our doors up in the hood
We lock our doors up , we lock our doors up
We lock our doors up in the hood
We lock our doors, we lock our doors up
We lock our doors , We lock our doors up in the hood
We lock our doors, we lock our doors up , we lock our doors

We lock our doors up in the hood
(we lock our doors up)
But everybody’s welcomed to our village
(everybody everybody)
I got cousins who ain’t blood
(my cousins)
Cause family don’t always mean my lineage
(family don’t always mean blood)
I got brothers in a game
(my brother’s)
Sisters in the cage
(my sister’s)
Families in the trenches
(my families in the trenches)
Uncles in the streets
(streets)
Aunties running wild
(running wild)
People with a smile on a mission
(oh my people)
Babies in the streets
(my babies)
OG’s running town
(my OG’s)
Soon we’ll be the ghost around
Cause everybody’s gone be somebody underground
(cause everybody’s gone be someone)
Mm Mm Mm
Got love for the hood
