"Characteristics of 'The Hood'": Do you have them?

[T-Block]

What about all the promised fights that finally came to fruition "on the last day of school?"  (I was standing behind a girl who was getting the "beat-down" of her life when she ducked and I got punched in the nose.  It broke a couple of blood vessels in my nostrils, and my nose bled for the entire summer...  ).  Ahhh, yes, nothing like growing up in the ghet-- I mean, the 'hood.     God bless.

This was funny right here, but I do remember them fights.  When I was younger, there was a fight at the bus stop down from my house, and the whole neighborhood showed up to see it.  Them guys was fighting for real w/blood everywhere, then people started jumping in and it turned into an all-out brawl.  Oh, the good ole days of school.

How about these:

1. There is always that one fine girl that every brother in the hood tryna holla at.

2. Helicopters was always flying in the air cuz they was looking for somebody

3. When there was a house party, everybody in the hood came, whether they was invited or not

4. A fight always breaks out at the above mentioned party

5. Football (or any other sport) was played in the road, no pads, if u fell and got hurt that's on u

6. Everybody know who the drug dealers are

You know you in da hood when Mr. J.W. come by every other Friday with boxes of frozen pizza, hamburger patties, chicken, cheeze and other commodities in the back of his car trunk for sale. You got to be in good with his wife to be a customer 'cause Mr. J.W. the janitor at the school and he ain't trying to "jepperdize his job!"

You know you in da hood when yo' friens ain't on foodstamps but got a pocket full of 'em.   

You know you in da hood when the neighborhood "restaurant" is a lil hole in the wall, with
booths where the leather seats is all holey, the menu is handwritten and hangs above the  counter where some of the prices have been marked out with the new increases written in.  The cook always  comes out wiping his hands on his apron.

You know you in da hood when don't nobody handle the money but the owner.

You know you in da hood when the sista's all got hair do's that's frozen in time, and they got six inch nails wit diamonds or other decorations.  Not to mention diamonds on dey teefs.

Bump!!!
When there are little 5 yr old kids walking down Main st ALONE At Night

When A pregnant mother gets arrested for drinking while pregnant because she called the cops on her self

When the ice cream truck is driving around playing that stupid song at 2 am, and there are kids outside buying from him.

When you go tho the Mcdonalds drive thru at 3 am and there are people throwing milk shakes at each other about to fight, so you just leave, because you aint that hungry to risk getting shot at.

Naaah...if ya really in the hood, nobody went to watch the actual game...they went to see the Bands at halftime, before the game, and when we marched out!

True. Back in the day, I remember the football team lost majority of their games but the stadium was packed. The band sounded as if they were a college band and the uniforms were neat too. Me and the family might miss the first quarter but was prompt for halftime.Then leave in the middle of third quarter.
