Welcome To My Hood Lyrics - Souls In Chains

[jD][Chorus] 

Queens bridge welcome to my hood 

I'm a show you all what's really good 

Welcome to my hood 

Death in the air 

If you want to live you got to say a prayer 

Red Fern welcome to my hood 

I'm a show you all what's really good 

Welcome to my hood 

Death in the air 

If you want to live you got to say a prayer 

[jD][Verse1] 

Welcome to the bridge 

To my borough my building 

To the place catch a case court date for drug dealings 

Turn the page 

Journey through the streets of the Queen 

From Chi city to the flooded streets of Saint New Orleans 

Subway cars 

Hollis Park 

Adolescents in Deville's busting shots at different bloods 

Claiming different sets 

Banging different cards 

In different parts of the large apple 

Queen of spades, 

Learned to walk and talk inside the Devils lasso 

Jakes patrol the city blocks posted on the avenues 

Bloomberg gave the go ahead caging us like animals 

Walls painted pistol 

Let off a black haze 

Sean Bell shot 50 times they thought they'd get away 

This is my hood 

Q-U-E-E-N-S 

From Sunny Side to the Gardens 

Elmhurst and all the rest 

Italian Ices' crazy crack the hydrants in the hood 

Back to the block I wouldn't leave if I could 

So welcome 

[jD][Chorus] 

Brownsville welcome to my hood 

I'm a show you all what's really good 

Welcome to my hood 

Death in the air 

If you want to live you got to say a prayer 

LES welcome to my hood 

I'm a show you all what's really good 

Welcome to my hood 

Death in the air 

If you want to live you got to say a prayer 

[Oplus][Verse2] 

Welcome to my hood 

To my city my land 

To the place were the law roll up in the vans 

And try to can us 

Journey through the streets of the Chi 

From CA to NY 

Hustling no the system don't understand us 

Soldiers be concealing there hammers under bandanas 

Legends are apprehended for antics on city cameras 

Go for broke or go bananas 

You know the game 

Try to rise above it but your Souls In Chains 

My soul remains 

United with the struggle to grind 

The under dogs try to do right but struggle with crime 

It troubles my mind 

The righteous living in the city broke 

Where all the ghetto children got to live as adults 

This is my hood the streets that made me crazy 

The same avenues that raised me cradled me as a baby 

Maybe I'm created to save the hood 

Back to the block I wouldn't leave if I could 

So welcome 

[jD][Chorus] 

Cabrini Green welcome to my hood 

I'm a show you all what's really good 

Welcome to my hood 

Death in the air 

If you want to live you got to say a prayer 

U Dub welcome to my hood 

I'm a show you all what's really good 

Welcome to my hood 

Death in the air 

If you want to live you got to say a prayer 

[jD][Verse3] 

Welcome to our hood to our areas 

Our gutters and our ghettos 

Three digits and a skyline representing where we step through 

Walk the blocks 

Chuck Taylors on the cement 

Laced up packed from the waist up 

Stacking bricks of cheap meth 

Supreme Team McGriff 

Fat Cat 

The dream team 

Oral addicts serve the fix 

The city the grind low ranks on the lookout 

The blue ride by smoke a pig like a cookout 

Cumulate the criminals 

Subtract um' by the church goers 

Square root the sum, Sad to say it but the perp's potent 

Vernon Ave. with the .40s smoking 

Homie got shot rough no love 

Affiliate with the filthiest dealiest baddest bunch 

In my city 

Great walls divine 

Puerto rocks from the Spanish blocks 

Russians from the east side 

The first Italian Polish Germ representing what's good 

QB A to F all day all hood 

[jD][Chorus] 

Montebello welcome to my hood 

I'm a show you all what's really good 

Welcome to my hood 

Death in the air 

If you want to live you got to say a prayer 

San Bernardino welcome to my hood 

I'm a show you all what's really good 

Welcome to my hood 

Death in the air 

If you want to live you got to say a prayer 

LA welcome to my hood 

I'm a show you all what's really good 

Welcome to my hood 

Death in the air 

If you want to live you got to say a prayer 

New York welcome to my hood 

I'm a show you all what's really good 

Welcome to my hood 

Death in the air 

If you want to live you got to say a
