Keke Palmer Hood Anthem Lyrics

[ verse 1: ]
some people don't really know what it means to be hood.
they think ur mean ur disrespectful & u up to know good.
they think these brothers don't know nothing
else but bling and white tees.
and they think that all these women can do is somebody's weave
they think it's hustlers, gangsters, and hoodlems riding out
but be easy with your mouth, cuz u don't know nuthin
bout, the life that gets lived, the
struggles to deal with. it's hard some days man, if you feel me then say:

I'm hood...

[ chorus: x2 ]
yes I'm hood
h-o-o-d
don't speak on it if you don't know what it means
I was raised in the hood
overcame in the hood
not ashamed of the hood, cuz the hood is in me.

[ bridge: ]
everybody put your hands up and rep the hood. if you
wanna you can stand up, I know it's good,
don't be ashamed of the hood, be in the
change in the hood, ain't nuthin strange
bout the hood itz
in everybody

[ verse 2: ]
no matter what you do they'll never see us no
different. no matter what we accomplish
__ we gettin honors for grammys, billboard chart
toppers, thought they could stop us
but we still got an oscar. they can give it up because
we thinkin bout them and that's a wrap.
it's a movement, baby, and it ain't no stoppin that
so I'mma keep doin me, I hope you keep doin you, we're
look out for one another, at the end of
the day I'm still hood

[ chorus x2 ]

[ bridge ]

[ verse 3: ]
I don't matter if you got some hood in your blood, it
don't make you any less, represent it
like, what?
it don't matter it makes you more real then the rest.
people think it's disrespect, but consider
it a blessing.
cuz you grew up on another side
so the world with a different eye, people don't realize,
learn to appreciate the little
things, and the joy life brings, ain't nuthin wrong wit bein hood.

[ chorus: repeats until song fades out ]
