Hood Living - Riley, BJ The Chicago Kid

I remember how we ran the streets

I remember all the shit that I seen

Things you wouldn’t believe

Saw body laying out in the heat

But the summer took away all

Such a cold memory

I remember playing hide and seek

Camping out in the front yard every weekend

Back then us where we saw the world how we wanted to be

Somtimes we couldn’t face the reality

That it’d be no lights, no heat

Sleeping head to feet

Top ramen on the stove, good weed

House keys, tight jeans

Kissing in the skating rink

Hood living wasn’t always a dream

But I loved it

Her lessons taught a whole lotta things

No blessing

Her living it ain’t all that it seems

You gotta love it

Her lessons brought the best out of me, oh yeah

I remember them days, chilling with my cousin
