7600 Block

Visited the old hood today
Wanted to hear what they'd have to say
Expected smiles and big blue skies
But what I heard really opened my eyes

The hood was in trouble
Something went wrong
The hood went bad
While I was gone
Choose life, I wanted to shout
Choose life, that's what it's about

I returned happy and new
Just knew others would be too
But the stories I heard
They were all black and blue
There was something I had to do

The hood was in trouble
Something went wrong
The hood went bad
While I was gone
Choose life, I wanted to shout
Choose life, that's what it's about

This doesn't seem right
This doesn't seem fair
I got out from outta there
But everyone else is facing the man
Don't understand
Must be a master plan
 
The hood was in trouble
Something went wrong
The hood went bad
While I was gone
Choose life, I wanted to shout
Choose life, that's what it's about

Old friends losing lives
Left and right
Where did I go wrong
Where did they go right
Going about like it ain't no thing
If only they could see
 
The hood was in trouble
Something went wrong
The hood went bad
While I was gone
Choose life, I wanted to shout
Choose life, that's what it's about
Choose life
