the best of the best
that came up out of the hood.

To all my people that still there,
especially the children,
F
Dm
Gm
I feel like God gave each of us something
that we can do just as good or better
F

than anybody in the world
and get paid at doing it.
You just got to figure out what your gift is

I gotta get my own place
F

before she makes me snap

and deadly tools

But get abused when I bring home youth

livin' ghetto
F
Gm
Puttin' it down from N .O. to H -Town
The ghetto
F
You one thing I used to wonder
F
Gm
is why the trains always stop on the tracks
in the hood for hours at a time.
F
Gm
And I finally figured it out.
Dm
Gm
They figure we ain't got nowhere to go.
Or we ain't going nowhere.
F
Gm
Oh, and if there's any
police out there listening,
let me talk to y 'all head
up for one moment.
Why is it that y 'all find a need
Gm
to harass the poor and dis
F
enfranchised?
F
Why y 'all go to rich neighborhoods
Gm
and write tickets to the people
F
Gm
who can't afford them?
F
And why is it that y 'all always
and asking them
is everything okay?
When you see a brother
Gm
or sitting on his own porch
minding his own business,
I finally figured that out to y 'all haters
