{Speaking} I lay in my bed at night sometimes I can’t even sleep cuz I hear the hood crying so loud. Every corner I hit, I see clothes… with teddy bears…Verse 1I seen a crime scene as I ride byHis baby momma scream and his momma ask whyHis boy like lord why my man had to dieI wonder if my fam gonna live in the skySad just another young black boy deadThe news people said he took two to the headIts sad ain't no telling who that boy coulda beenWith the influence of a few good menBut instead he lived his whole life trapped in sinTryna get some money and some 20 inch rimsIt’s sad ain't no telling what that boy coulda beenHe coulda went to college coulda got a tight gigA shame we’ll die tryna get ourselves a BenzBut won’t work a job just to take care our kidsTo see him on the ground man it made my heart hurtBut now that boy gone he just another picture on a shirtChorusI seen a crime scene as I ride byThe blood on the ground made the concrete dryHis baby momma screaming and his momma ask why my son had to dieSee we talk this is life in the hoodWe live life fast til we crash in the hoodTeddy bears lie where we die in the hood another soul gone. (Picture on a shirt)Verse 2Have you ever seen Lil Chris?He said he wants to blow like LudacrisHe said its temporary that he doing thisSoon as he get his deal man he through with thisHe said he only crack gameJust to make some money for the rap gameHe said he’s gonna take the whole street gameAnd incorporate it to the rap gameBut one day in a dice gameHe had a phat stack and a phat chainThis Lil dude tryna make himself a nameRob Chris and hit him with the thangIt’s sad ain't no telling what that boy coulda beenBut instead he lived his whole life trapped in sinTo see him on the ground man it made my heart hurtBut now Chris gone he just another picture on a shirtChorusI seen a crime scene as I ride byThe blood on the ground made the concrete dryHis baby momma screaming and his momma ask why my son had to dieSee we talk this is life in the hoodWe live life fast til we crash in the hoodTeddy bears lie where we die in the hood another soul gone. (Picture on a shirt)Verse 3Lil Shanice she done put away the toysNow my girl got a thing for them trap boysShe into high fashion and like tight carCould only see herself being with a hood starSee Lil Shanice she didn’t grow up in the hoodWas brought up in a church taught to live life goodWhen momma go to work now she headed to the hoodTryna get her vibe on and smoke on goodSee momma told her when you live life fastThere’s only one thing left to do and that’s crashAnd one day she did and she flew through the glassFound Lil Shanice dead lying in the grassShe the only person in the car diedHer blood on ground made the concrete dryWhen I heard about her man it made my heart hurtBut now that girl gone she just another picture on a shirtChorusI seen a crime scene as I ride byThe blood on the ground made the concrete dryHis baby momma screaming and his momma ask why my son had to dieSee we talk this is life in the hoodWe live life fast til we crash in the hoodTeddy bears lie where we die in the hood another soul gone. (Picture on a shirt){Speaking}Man, God did not make us man so we could die in the hood, just to be a picture on a shirt man. God didn’t make us just so we could end up dead with a bunch of teddy bears going across where we laid man. Jesus overcame man not just so we could overcome sin but so we could overcome the hood too. Man God loves you man. You don’t have to look to the hood for love, because Jesus love you. And God loves you so much that He sent His Son to die for you. It’s time for change yall, too many of us dying every day, but God know you pain. We all scarred by those pictures on the T-shirts. It’s time for healing man {voice fading}
