In the Hood

Lyrics

[Verse] Concrete jungle, bricks stackin’ like Tetris, Corner boys movin', ambition infectious. Hustle so raw, shadows dance in the mist, Chain hang low, stories wrapped round my wrist. [Chorus] In the hood where the trumpets blow, Bassline thump, make the block move slow. Life’s a gamble, dice hit the pavement, Every breath taken, soul in enslavement. [Verse 2] Smoke curls up, visions in the alley, Dreams of a palace, but I’m stuck in the valley. Gunshots echo, they sing lullabies, Momma light candles, tears in her eyes. [Bridge] Steel meets brass, the sound of the struggle, Chains and scars, we learn how to juggle. The weight of the world on our shoulders stay, But we dance through the chaos, night turns to day. [Chorus] In the hood where the trumpets blow, Bassline thump, make the block move slow. Life’s a gamble, dice hit the pavement, Every breath taken, soul in enslavement. [Verse 3] Streetlights flicker, dreams caught in a snare, Hopes rise like smoke, dissolve in the air. Brass hits heavy, like the world on my back, Hood symphony plays, it’s survival on the track.
