Nothing But Love for the Neighborhood (Explicit) Lyrics
Nothing But Love for the Neighborhood (Explicit) - Frost
Haha
Yeah
Now let me tell you about my neighborhood
As I scan through the city
It's not all bad there's some good
So if you roll through my town
Don't be nervous
You can still catch a family
At a Sunday service
Or hanging out cooling out
Just barbequing
If you ask me you better check
What you be doing
Cuz if you look past the liqour
Store on every corner
You can find a working man in a van a home owner
Not everyone is drunk in a ditch
As a matter of fact I heard
A broke man became rich
And so it makes me wanna frown
That you would want to put me down
Cuz my neighborhood of town
But that's cool it ain't nothing new
So I'ma tell the truth about the hood
On this record for you
Now check it
If I could make this world perfect I would
But I can't
And I still got nothing
But love for the hood
I got love love love love love
Nothing but love
Nothing but love love love love love
Nothing but love for the hood
I got love love love love love
Nothing but love
Nothing but love love love love love
Nothing but love for the hood
I know a kid born in the projects too
And you should see the things
He was subjected to
That didn't mean that he would do the same
Like go find a gun or run with a gang
He took the right route
He learned a little math
A college education
Now a champange of bubble bath
I know another man who makes $4 25
Works two jobs to keep his family alive
You say it's bad
But why's this man filled with joy
Every Saturday
He's playing ball with his little boy
And raising him the right way
Showing him a way out you might say
You see you're never too old to learn
So just sit back and listen as I take my turn
If I could make this world perfect I would
But I can't
And I still got nothing but love for the hood
I got love love love love love
Nothing but love
Nothing but love love love love love
Nothing but love for the hood
I got love love love love love
Nothing but love
Nothing but love love love love love
Nothing but love for the hood
Population 69 000
Now that's a whole lot of people
That my hood be housing
Most of them are happy
Make the best from the worst
But you be trying to act like
The ghetto is cursed
Now check it little kids playing out in the park
Mama yelling out their name when it gets dark
An old man he takes out his garbage cans
And then he turns with a smile to
Shake the next man's hand
And all I see is love and sensitivity
But if the government could
Then they'd get rid of me
But now I sure am glad
That I was brought up strong
Now let me tell you
Mama brought the Frost up with values
And if you fall
Then I'ma be the first one to help you out
And see you thought
I was the worst one
If I could make this world perfect I would
But I can't
And I still got nothing but love for the hood
I got love love love love love
Nothing but love
Nothing but love love love love love
Nothing but love for the hood
I got love love love love love
Nothing but love
Nothing but love love love love love
Nothing but love for the hood
