[Intro]
This goes out to all the streets of Mexico City, State of Mexico
And the rest of the world (Brr, amen), prr
But especially Neza, Ecatepec, Tepito, La Morelos, Iztapalapa (Yeah, ah)
Says, brr

[Verse 1]
The hood is the hood, how I love it
But dreams are waiting outside it
The road is long, and if you dream of something
First you gotta believe it yourself
I walked through my hood and remembered

How I started, how I made it
I suffered through it, but I held on tight

[Chorus]
How I miss my hood
The place where I grew up
Didn’t realize back then I was happy
Proud of where I come from
In my hood, you’re born determined
The streets make you a fighter
In RD, the block, in PR it’s the chase
From Mexico, it’s the hood, the hood
We grind hard just to eat and survive
Everyone knows the hood is the hood
Before we step out, we pray with faith, with faith

[Verse 2]
You leave the hood, but a wise man said
The hood will never leave you
Hustlin’ every day, paycheck is low
That’s the real life, that’s where I grew up
I just wanna move forward, step ahead
Help out the whole family
That’s why I grind hard for a few pesos
Just to eat, just to survive

In the hood I realized little by little I was stacking
All this I dreamed of—the shine, the cash, the fame
Everyone knows I came from nothing
I realized if I didn’t grind for myself, nothing would happen
I wanted to ride high with my family crowned
My dear, I stop in CDMX and the State
No crazy one doesn’t rise, with God on my side
I’m a star, yeah, it’s proven
Watch out, the streets are rough, bad friends
They’re no good, watch out, they’ll pull you down
Watch out, the vices will pull you, betray you
So much envy, bullets rain
Value your life, it’s borrowed
You only get one, don’t know about tomorrow
Value your freedom, or you’ll learn the hard way
I’m from Neza, not La Condesa
Determined by birth, it’s in our nature
The best advice I can give
Is to keep to the right path
Chase your dreams, reap what’s good
Remember the arrow doesn’t stop
I want everyone listening to this song
To get motivated, inspired, full of health and beauty
And I’m always grinding, hustling, working
Always generating, always on the move
I’m always on, I’m always on, woah, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
How I miss my hood
The place where I grew up
Didn’t realize back then I was happy
Proud of where I come from
In my hood, you’re born determined
The streets make you a fighter
In RD, the block, in PR it’s the chase
From Mexico, it’s the hood, the hood
We grind hard just to eat and survive
Everyone knows the hood is the hood
Before we step out, we pray with faith, with faith, eh, eh
