The Hood (Written in 6th Grade)

Excuse my grammar & misspelling of things. But I wanted to keep it how I originally found it when I wrote it at a young age...

 

the best go first ,
the worst go last .
all the hood is first ,
so we forever in the past .
we try to remain ,
but trey life is hard .
specially when niggas ,
get shot in they yard .
everyday we live ,
we tryna make a good stive .
but no place is safe ,
when yu livin the L life .
yu in or yu out ,
either way yu a victim .
my mans tried to run ,
but the hood a restrict him .
the game aint that easy ,
when life is death row .
the game aint that easy ,
when yu the next to go .
yu try to survive ,
by all means neccesary .
but next thing yu know ,
the homies readin yo obituary .
man what can we say ,
our hood is strong .
get in where yu fit in ,
& this is where we belong .
now death is somethin ,
i neva really understood .
but now its clear and all i can say is ,
rip to all my dead ppl from the hood .
trey life baby ,
yu live & yu learn .
i put that on my life ,
yu dnt get nuthin in the hood ,
its jus sumthin yu earn .
