Travel Day Roll out on a J With a black valet We stop near The chicken spot By the projects She wait the same... Face Said I would call u someday My heart lit a flame Then I ride away (turn on the heat driver) I'm from the hood But I gotta leave some days I'm from the hood And I wanna drink French Champagne grew up an 80's babe Living round crack and aids Parents went separate ways I'm shelter and project raised Plenty of peers have died The schools taught us just fine But math can only pass the time standing on welfare lines Rap Panoramic cameras Standing in my harem pants Walking down this runway Beauty never had a chance I'm just Tryna make it I just gotta make it They don't wanna give me shit I just got take it Bronxdale Cypress ave Troy Ave and Compton Thirsty first peach tree Brixton in london I'm tatted a Rockstar U seen me on tv A Harlem Odb Tryna get off ebt like Hook I'm from the hood And I wanna leave some day I'm from the hood And wanna taste French champagne
