Keke Palmer - Hood Anthem

Текст песни

Some people don’t know what it means to really be hood
They think you’re mean, just disrespectful, and you’re up to know good
They think these brothers don’t know nothing else but bling and white tees
And they think that all these women can do is somebody’s weave
They think we’re hustlers, gangsters, and goons riding by
But be easy with your mouth
Cause you don’t know nothin' 'bout the life that gets lived
The struggles we deal, it’s hard some days man
If you feel me, then say «I'm hood»
Yes, I’m hood, H-O-O-D
Don’t speak on it if you don’t know what it means
I was raised in the hood, overcame in the hood
Not ashamed of the hood, cause the hood is in me
Yes, I’m hood, H-O-O-D
Don’t speak on it if you don’t know what it means
I was raised in the hood, overcame in the hood
Not ashamed of the hood, cause the hood is in me
Everybody put your hands up and rep the hood
If you wanna you can stand up, I know it’s good
Don’t be ashamed of the hood, be in the change in the hood
Ain’t nothin' strange 'bout the hood, it’s in everybody
No matter what you do, they’ll never see us no different
No matter what we accomplish
We gettin' honors for Grammy’s, Billboard chart toppers
Thought they could stop us, but we still got an Oscar
They can give it up, because we thinkin' 'bout them, and that’s a wrap
It’s a movement, baby, and it ain’t no stoppin' that
So I’mma keep doin' me, I hope you keep doin' you
We’re look out for one another
At the end of the day, I’m still hood
Yes, I’m hood, H-O-O-D
Don’t speak on it if you don’t know what it means
I was raised in the hood, overcame in the hood
Not ashamed of the hood, cause the hood is in me
Yes, I’m hood, H-O-O-D
Don’t speak on it if you don’t know what it means
I was raised in the hood, overcame in the hood
Not ashamed of the hood, cause the hood is in me
Everybody put your hands up and rep the hood
If you wanna you can stand up, I know it’s good
Don’t be ashamed of the hood, be in the change in the hood
Ain’t nothin' strange 'bout the hood, it’s in everybody
I don’t matter if you got some hood in your blood
It don’t make you any less, represent it like, «what?»
It don’t matter, it makes you more real then the rest
People think it’s disrespect, but consider it a blessing
Cause you grew up on another side
Saw the world with a different eye
People don’t realize
So we learn to appreciate the little things, or the joy life brings
Ain’t nothin' wrong with bein' hood
Yes, I’m hood, H-O-O-D
Don’t speak on it if you don’t know what it means
I was raised in the hood, overcame in the hood
Not ashamed of the hood, cause the hood is in me
Yes, I’m hood, H-O-O-D
Don’t speak on it if you don’t know what it means
I was raised in the hood, overcame in the hood
Not ashamed of the hood, cause the hood is in me
