A place from which society expects no good Where everyone is expected to fail But despite it all they thrive and prevail  It’s such a joy, makes you feel real good To live here in the old neighborhood For you hear boisterous and jovial laughter Mixed with loud down-home banter  The playground is asphalt or concrete And the parks have not one decent seat But children play, and life is still good Day after day right here in the hood  As a child of the hood’s mean street Growing up was tough, no easy feat And no matter how far you may roam Remember the hood is forever home  There are still no willows or shady trees The summer is funky hot, no cool breeze The guys and gals still dress in them fine clothes Guys with earrings, gals with rings on their toes  Sorry that life troubles are keeping you down And that happy smile is turning to a frown God bless, don’t hesitate, no need to phone Th e hood will always welcome you; come home  See page 15","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47132181594352,"sku":"9781503597822","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781503597822_p0.jpg?v=1763709063","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781503597822","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
