still i wanna be right here in my hood
still i wanna be in the state of my home
still i wanna be in my low low
getting closer i wanna be in the streets yeah
to the mommies and the daddies with they babies
i know it's hard and it may seem a little crazy
to my ladies with their babies by their lonesome
your little baby boy one day will be a grownsome
and it's harder in the night but then the light come
you made a choice baby girl then it's the right one
and to my people with the struggle trying to cope
yeah we're living in the dark but there's hope there
