The Hood

What makes me feel good

is knowing I have survied another day in the hood;

I could be commiting a crime

but instead i'm spending my time, making a rhyme

so that I can invest in my life,

so there never comes a day where I would have to use a knife.

I use rhymes as an excape from reality

and I use this to keep my sanity 

and with this I know I can walk a mile

with a vast smile.
