Hood memories

Yo, I remember nights under streetlights, Dreams in the shadows, we were ready for fights, Hustlin' hard, dodgin' the pain, Every block, every corner, we were makin' our name. From the playgrounds to the alleys we roamed, Echoes of laughter, but we never felt home, Lessons in struggle, each scar tells a tale, Built a fortress of hope, we were destined to prevail. (Verse 2) Mama cried tears, but she raised a G, In the heart of the hood, it was all we could be, Late-night talks, wisdom from the old, Survivin' the storm, we were brave and bold. Memories flash like the lights of a cop car, But we stood our ground, yeah, we knew who we are, With every step forward, we breakin' the chain, Hood memories live on, we’ll never be the same.
