[Intro] I got something good inside of me (Yeah) Yo, Kansas, this one's for you Yo, Philly, this one's for you This be Tye Tribbett [Chorus] Good in the hood (And whatever hood you representing) It's good in the hood (I know it's a lot of bad out there, but guess what?) Good in the hood (It's a lot of good, too) I got something good inside of me (Yeah, check it) [Verse 1] Everybody ain't sticking up cars Going to bars, getting drunk to fight everybody just talking junk Everybody ain't walking around with baggy jeans, being mean And the lips purple 'cause we smoking trees Everybody ain't tryna be tough and violent Matter of fact, I know some cats from the hood play the violin Everybody downtown don't frown 'cause you around Just because you wear a suit, don't mean we think you a clown Some of us are going to bed about eleven Gotta get up real early, be at work quarter to seven Some of us are going to school, not skipping class Didn't make the dean's list, but we still gon' pass (Yeah) Some of us are taking good care of all our kids Makin' sure they got clothes and something in the fridge Some of us are happy with life, we down with Christ Got a good head on our shoulders, and we feel alright (Yeah) [Pre-Chorus] It's a lot of good out there I see y'all They need to put this on 6:00 news With everybody singing like [Chorus] Good in the hood (Yeah) It's good in the hood (I know it is) Good in the hood (I see it everyday) I got something good inside of me Good in the hood (I see teachers in the hood) It's good in the hood (Nurses in the hood) Good in the hood (See, it ain't all bad) I got something good inside of me (Yeah) [Verse 2] Everybody ain't walking around, carrying guns, thinking it's fun Got two and three girls carrying sons Everybody ain't wearing all black and selling dope and crack To teens and fiends whose clothes don't match Everybody ain't cussin' out babies because they driving you crazy Just maybe they miss their daddy, who left them the day before Everybody ain't sleeping around with everybody in town And when you hit the college ground, it's going down Some of us are working in barbershops and salons Making money, paying bills, and child support every month Some of us are really good people, just had a crazy life And now in jail for life with long nights Some of us are going to church faithfully Gotta get it right with God before we finally leave Some of us are tryna do better, we tryna get it together And when it's all said and done, we tryna go to Heaven [Pre-Chorus] I see y'all fellas working at UPS At the airport, taking care of your responsibilities I see y'all, yeah [Chorus] Good in the hood (It ain't all bad) It's good in the hood (We got a lot of people that made it from the hood) Good in the hood (Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha) I got something good inside of me (We got entrepreneurs) Good in the hood (Right in the hood) It's good in the hood (They need to put this on TV) Good in the hood (Oh) I got something good inside of me [Bridge] Now maybe you're one of the ones That got a good heart, but made some bad decisions I'm telling you God loves you And He'll give you another chance [Chorus] Good in the hood (Just give Him a try) It's good in the hood (Yeah) Good in the hood (Taste and see that the Lord is good) (I got something good inside of me) Good in the hood (His mercy is in You forever) It's good in the hood (Oh) Good in the hood (I love y'all) I got something good inside of me (I see y'all at the corner stores, I'm out) [Outro] Good in the hood, it's good in the hood Good in the hood I got something good inside of me
