Lyrical Analysis of...
Hood Royalty
- Came up broke, had to make me a way,
- Had to stack every dime, had to hustle, no play,
- Mama worked late, so I learned how to cook,
- Not in the kitchen—but I still had to whip up a plate!
- Streets got cold, had to move with precision,
- Loyalty first, had to make my decisions,
- Friends turned foes, I don’t do the pretendin’,
- I was out grindin’, they was stuck in they feelings.
- (Huh!) Hood royalty, check my crown,
- Made it out the mud, now they want me down,
- Talk big money when I’m in yo' town,
- But if you wasn’t real, don’t come around!
- (Yeah!) Hood royalty, talk my talk,
- Only bosses step, only bosses walk,
- Never played checkers, all I know is chalk,
- When I make my moves, bet they call it art!
- Used to dream ‘bout this, now I live what I say,
- Now they all wanna eat, but ain't help with the plate,
- I was down bad, couldn't get no assist,
- Now my wrist on flood like a hurricane hit!
- Used to run packs just to keep on the lights,
- Now my name in the sky like I book me a flight,
- Turned my lows to a win, turned my pain into checks,
- Every loss was a lesson, every move was a flex.
- (Yeah!) Came from the trenches, now I’m too paid,
- Told ‘em I was different, now they too late,
- Cuttin’ off the leeches, keep the crew straight,
- Only real ones eatin’, get a new plate!
- (Huh!) Hood royalty, check my crown,
- Made it out the mud, now they want me down,
- Talk big money when I’m in yo' town,
- But if you wasn’t real, don’t come around!
- (Yeah!) Hood royalty, talk my talk,
- Only bosses step, only bosses walk,
- Never played checkers, all I know is chalk,
- When I make my moves, bet they call it art!
