Hood Living Lyrics by RILEY

RILEY

2020

[Intro: RILEY]
(Oh-oh, oh)
(Oh-oh, oh)
[Verse 1: RILEY]
I remember how we ran the streets
I remember all the shit that I seen
Things you wouldn't believe
Saw a body laying out in the heat
But the summer took away all the grief
Such a cold memory
I remember playing hide and seek
Camping in the front yard every weekend
Back then, I swear we
Saw the world how we wanted to be
Sometimes we couldn't face the reality
[Pre-Chorus: RILEY]
That it'd be no lights (No lights), no heat (No heat)
Sleepin' head to feet, Top Ramen on the stove
Good weed (Good weed), house keys (House keys)
Tight jeans (Tight jeans), kissing in the skating rink
[Chorus: RILEY & BJ the Chicago Kid]
Hood living wasn't always a dream (Ah)
But I loved it
Hood lessons taught a whole lotta things (Ooh)
No blessing
Hood living, it ain't all that it seems
You gotta love it
Hood lessons brought the best out of me (Oh yeah)
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
[Verse 2: BJ the Chicago Kid]
I remember them days chilling with my cousins
Talking low, couldn't get caught cussing (Ooh), uh
Bad as hell, the food was good, but my grades was decent
Every Sunday, it was singing and preaching
'Til this day, I still go back to my block (Yeah)
Even though wolves eat livestock
You know how I rock
Southside never kicking me out
'Cause I got love for the ones with or without
[Pre-Chorus: RILEY & BJ the Chicago Kid]
No lights (No lights), no heat (No heat)
Sleepin' head to feet, Top Ramen on the stove (No, no, no)
Good weed (Good weed), house keys (House keys)
Tight jeans (Oh), kissing in the skating rink
[Chorus: RILEY & BJ the Chicago Kid]
Hood living wasn't always a dream
But I loved it
Hood lessons taught a whole lotta things (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
No blessing
Hood living, it ain't all that it seems (Made all my dreams)
You gotta love it
Hood lessons brought the best out of me
Oh yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Outro: RILEY, BJ the Chicago Kid & Both]
Hey
Said I love my hood, and it's all good (It's all good, yeah)
Southside crazy, yeah
West Side crazy
Oh, na-na-na-na-na-na
Oh, na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, oh
(Oh-oh, oh)
(Oh-oh, oh)
