Hood Blues (Instrumental) - DMX

Chowmein on the boards I feel like it makes you smile when I say that It's a war between black and blue The hood beat us black and blue I'm just doing what I have to do Running from the black and blue Tell me you hate niggas I rather hear the truth Don't leave a nigga hangin' I'd rather see the noose Coming from a place where they rather see you lose You couldn't two step in my shoes They never leave clues Got a nigga scared to see the news Won't tell you how they poison our food You don't know it feel I'm paranoid cause I know you would kill A black nigga like me then get to appeal I don't get you for real I'm trynna learn yo ways Ya'll be putting on a show Until we burn yo stage Kill a nigga just to earn yo wage I been shook These niggas don't even perform and been booked Look I'm tryna bring the peace back Even if a nigga gotta bring the piece back 5 racks for the addy where you sleep at I'm tryna turn a fuckin' pig to a meat pack 5 shots like pussy nigga eat that Give it to em he can keep that Bitch I pay my tax North side nigga straight like that I wasn't gone but you can say I'm back It's a war between black and blue The hood beat us black and blue I'm just doing what I have to do Running from the black and blue
