The dangerous streets of North philly <br />Outsiders would call it North filthy <br />But growing up in the hood teaches you not to judge <br />With rough life styles it also teaches you not to budge in situations <br />In the hood you have good memories and bad <br />You have good times and sad times <br />You have your days, but if not careful, it can be your last day <br />Thats the price we pay living on the hood side <br />life is funny like that <br />Its funny how we take the little things for granted <br />But coming from the hood allows you to do alot of things but panic <br />Pressure is something you deal with daily <br />Ready for anything would be the proper term <br />Or atleast ready for the world <br />Surviving in North Philly makes you ready for survival anywhere<br /><br />Jaycee Wilkerson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hood/
