When I walk around my hood I see
Smiles
Different styles
People getting loud
Inches turned to miles
Hungry mouths
Waddup money buddy pal
People under crowns
People under clouds
People ‘round
People runnin wild
When I walk around my hood I see
Dogs cats birds
People going to work
They’ll do that and worse for the last word
Might have heard
Lots of people wallowing in hurt
Lots of people following the herd
When I walk around my hood I see
Fat burners on brick walls
As fat burn
Fast learners that break laws
Block regulars in the same place on different days
Latter day saints catching rays
When I walk around my hood I see
Tree lined aves
Weeds and grass
Fast cash from weed, trees, grass
Gracias
Seen a kid holding a wheelie on a bike without a front tire
While wearing a backpack
Sneakers on a black wire

When I walk around my hood I see
Broken hopes
Smoking dope
Eyes looking comatose
People on line for a okey doke
Joy, art
Beauty manifesting out the madness it's a blessing just to take part
When I walk around my hood I see
Buses and trains
Brothers that train like Clubber Lang
Trying to get a shot
Trying to find a spot
Myriad ingredients for flavoring the melting pot
Busy running around around the clock
When I walk around my hood I see
The brightest and the best
And cars with speakers in the back
Enough to give you cardiac arrest
Look
I do confess that playing it by the book
Will have you on the hook for nothing more and nothing less
When I walk around my hood I see
Churches
Without the piety
Every variety of this and that to purchase
Flags
People flag down cabs
Lots of moving parts popping
Shopping carts of can filled bags

When I walk around my hood I see
Laughter and debate
And lots of ads
And posture saying “not-so-fast”
When I walk around my hood I see
Lots of Jordans
I do admit such uniformity’s exceptionally boring
When I walk around my hood I see
Laws
Not too many lawnmowers
Effect and cause and corner stores
When I walk around my hood I see
Jedis and padawans
FedEx and Amazon
When i walk around my hood i see the spectrum of the matter that exists
Lots of black lives matter fists
Not that that matter’s fixed
Recruiters saying "hi" not worried if die when i enlist and water from the fire hydrant mist
What a mix
It can’t be recreated in a pic
It can’t be recreated in a flick,
Or in a gif
What you see is not as much as what you missed but what a gift that what you see is what get

Nice another beat that I can rhyme to
You can do whatever you put your mind to
Your destiny’s a symphony to fine tune
No matter where you go it’s gonna find you
Life is a party you should slide through
You gonna show up whenever you decide to
Start achieving whatever you desire to
Start achieving whatever you designed to,
If you’ve a feeling that you can’t accept
Assess your health and ask yourself
“Well is it life or is it death?”
And if it’s death then let it die
Until there’s nothing left and if it’s wet than let it dry
Go head and try
It’s bound to remoisturize when the time is right
Do these assignments yo i promise that it’s outta sight
Do me a solid
Acknowledge that you’ve gathered up the mileage to assert your God given right
And start living like it
GO AND GET IT
YEAH
GO AND GET IT
TRUE
GO AND GET IT
UH
GO AND GET IT
C'MON
GO AND GET IT
YUP
GO AND GET IT
YEAH
GO
GET YOURS!
Early retirement from the “when?” “how?”
The time is always the same; now
The concept of a hour’s like a grain plow
It’s nothing like a flower or a rain cloud,
Kinfolks
Hop in the mix
Listen to every impulse
Whatever dream that you’re pursuing
There’s nothing that’s beyond us
I’ll be honest you’re a shoe in
Hey yo it’s lit like incense
Happy I can give when I’m bit by insects
Contemplation is essential
Respect your body ‘cause your body is a temple
But you are not your body though your body’s just a rental
You are not your body though your body’s just a pencil
Write a tale
More heroic than any you’ve ever heard
On the hearth that is the earth then get to work and spread the word
GO AND GET IT
YEAH
GO AND GET IT
TRUE
GO AND GET IT
UH
GO AND GET IT
C'MON
GO AND GET IT
YUP
GO AND GET IT
YEAH
GO
GET YOURS!
Every sector is our community
Every second’s an opportunity
Think of everyone as you and me
Everything you want is soon to be
That’s how I kick a style or two or three
For every child that ever drew a tree
I’m a believer
Spreading love and peace and pleased to meet ya
Responsible for particles i pull out of the ether
Here’s the best part
Human race here’s a head start
Follow your heart
We’re teaming up for seeing that’s believing we be seeing in the dark
Quoth the rapper, “put your hands high”
Every minute you be winning by a landslide
If you feel it you ain’t gotta understand why
All you gotta do is
GO AND GET IT
YEAH
GO AND GET IT
TRUE
GO AND GET IT
UH
GO AND GET IT
C'MON
GO AND GET IT
YUP
GO AND GET IT
YEAH
GO
GET YOURS!
