It seems like the streets keep calling me
I'm just a fiend for my hood

Look at police keep they eyes on me
But I won't leave my hood
Call me goon, call me gangster, but I call me hood

Call me convict call me fool
Call me trouble, but I call me hood


Ghetto boy, ghetto boy, wailing since a little boy
All I felt was pain, Lord please won't you send me joy
God must have heard my prayers, came to me in my dreams

It's been over 6 years and my mother is still clean
oh-oh, oh-oh, that's right, I'm living my life
I'm in the street, right on my block

We chilling all night
So call me what you wanna call me
I did all them corners on me

Gun shots, tear drops
I did lost a couple homies
Victim of a felon hood

Product of a dirty slum
I ain't going back ?
Already let them judge me once

call me dumb, call me fool, fine
You can call me stupid cause I come
Flying through the hood when I get some new %#@!

Grinding from?man I done what I could ^!$$%
Look at me I made it out but still I am a hood ^!$$%
oh-oh, that's right I'm feeling like I'm falling see

Hear me now and then I hear it the streets is calling me

It seems like the streets keep calling me

I'm just a fiend for my hood
Look at police keep they eyes on me
But I won't leave my hood

Call me goon, call me gangster, but I call me hood
Call me convict call me fool
Call me trouble, but I call me hood


Yeah, bad shells, flow schools, overcrowded classrooms
College girls on stripper poles, feeling like we're all doomed

Rock sellers, ? tellers, why they let the cops kills us
Wouldn't understand unless you're standing on them blocks with us
Guns here, show no fear, candles for my dead ?

Pregnant teens, broken dreams, but I still love it here
Yes I said I love it here, take a breath, smell the air
Look around, feel the ground, you can sense the danger near

New babies lost they father ? inside the household
Alcohol, ? tell me something I don't know
Tell me where the opens at

Real you can call me that
Never go and fall away the streets is always calling back


Even though I seen the struggle, even though I seen the struggle
My whole life was a struggle, that's all that I know
? money stays on my mind and I won't let it go

See this here is survival of the realest
And only if you real you will feel it
So if you don't live it, don't speak it

Make it hard for you to not see it

It seems like the streets keep calling me

I'm just a fiend for my hood
Look at police keep they eyes on me
But I won't leave my hood

Call me goon, call me gangster, but I call me hood
Call me convict call me fool
Call me trouble, but I call me hood.
