F Yo Hood.
F yo hood, yeah I said it
Yall out here killing each other, just up to no good and really yall need to dead it
And F your street and gang signs
I understand you love your neighborhood and thats all fine
But do you love your streets named after white presidents and mexican aboloshionists more than your own kind?
Does that bandanna you wear on your head ever fall over your eyes cause son you look blind
And oh yeah, while we on the subject, F that too
By that, I mean your red and blue
Rags hanging out your left and right pockets like that's supposed to be cool
While the white man let us destroy each other so they can eventually rule
All yall wanna do is ditch and smoke on the block when you should be in school
And then the police gaffle you up because you don't know your rights so now who's really the fool?
F your underappreciation for who you've hurt and who you are
Its because of people like you that mothers have these unseen scars
You didnt care who's child you were killing when you was dumping out the window of that car
All because you were tired of being a supporting actor in the hood and you wanted to be a star
Most of all, F you for not loving yourself
You'd rather risk your families life so you could claim the hood until death
Gotta watch your back the enemies on the other side can be stealth
But when its all over, what will you have left.

When this kind of anger speaks it always tells the truth, being from Compton a place that some of the natives call Bompton, I can relate and throw the F sign up with you. Stay strong my young brother and continue to preach.
