Life in the Hood

[Verse] Daylight's breakin' on the street Sky is gray but we don't retreat Echoes of the past still clear In the hood we face our fear [Verse 2] Kids are playin' tag n' run Dreams are lost but still we stun Graffiti colors walls with pride In the hood nowhere to hide [Chorus] Life in the hood so tough so real Struggle every day but we heal We find love in the darkest night In the hood we keep up the fight [Bridge] Sounds of sirens in the air But we dance without a care Hope's a seed that we still sow In the hood That's how we grow [Verse 3] Mamas prayin' Hands to sky Fightin' tears Askin' why Even when the days are rough In the hood we stay so tough [Chorus] Life in the hood so tough so real Struggle every day but we heal We find love in the darkest night In the hood we keep up the fight
