SPARK 950 & TIMBO KING - Hood Times lyrics

rate me

And I say... [x4]

[Timbo King]

Hood times, turn into times in the ghetto

Gotta get the money, but I don't wanna use a black metal

But it's temptin, times ain't hirin

Can't go to sleep, cuz all I hear is police sirens

Street corners, wit black brothers is sellin crack

Nickel D.'s don't cost, cuz he walks wit a big mack

Hard rock rules, it's easy to get in two

Robbin is a hobby, forget Bobby, cuz we gettin clue

Someway, somehow, I gotta get it

These brothers I know'll set it off in a minute

Take the gats wit the quickness

Got a hand full of doves, so know you know what a brick is

Next door, they livin poor, they can't eat

Strong survive, but if you weak you sleep on the concrete

Wit blood stains, pants and shit stains

Neigborhood bums up in our alley playin fist games

[Chorus]

Hood times, growin up in the hood

Hood times, growin up in the hood

Hood times, growin up in the hood

My neighborhood is rough, my attitude is tough

[Timbo King]

Little Sally, she's sellin her body to the highest bidder

Back at the crib, a little kid without a babysitter

Hood times, not good times, bad days

Crack head die, but not of crack, because he AIDS

Prostitution, what's the solution?

Blood tranfusion, ghetto execution

Branded buildings, lots full of stripped cars

I be damned if I live behind big bars

Save the homeless, that's just the slogan

Can't stop rape, I'm just givin out Trojan's

So pass the dice, cuz I wanna roll all sixes

One got fed, and pull out, so now he wanna stick us

Shoplifters, better yet, boosters

A crew is a gang, and a gang is all troopers

No joke, you see the smoke from the gun blast

You better run fast...

[Chorus x2]

[Timbo King]

In front of the projects, objects are fallen

Hit and run, drunk drivin leads to man troublin

I come from a place where nobody gives a fuck

Cuz if you got what we want, point black, you got stuck

Buck buck buck, just what you heard on the streets

Little kids stealin Jeeps, just to make ends meet

If looks could kill, Billy be doin the government

In and out of trouble, causin trouble, he was a troubled kid

Last night I heard a scream... (Ahh!!)

Cuz the only time I'm livin lovely is when I'm havin a dream

I got a dog that's wit roaches

Cuz I'm livin next door to all the Rotts and the roaches

Word 'em up, cuz it's the real thing baby

How to survive in the hoods, you gotta act crazy

I'm out here trynna get mines

Livin day by day in the episode of hood times

[Chorus x2]

[Hook x2]

Hood times, (hood! hood!)

Hood times, (hood! hood!)

Hood times, (hood! hood!)

My neighborhood is rough, my attitude is tough
