Hoodies Lyrics

Trouble kinda finds us; it's not what defines us

But life here kinda winds us up and down

We go a little too fast, go a little too far

It's just us, it's who we are

Is what it is, yeah; can't stop, can't slow down

But hey, we're cool; sometimes we're just fooling around

Not so proud, just hanging out with a madder crowd

Yeah, we're okay; we're just taking it as it comes around

And it's all about whatever goes down?

In this crazy part of town; and we live here

Hoodies and the so-called goodies going at it everyday

Cops 'n' robbers out in the suburbs

With those habits they just can't break

Can't somebody just get on it and turn the page?

Or are the ganglands and the bang bangs just playing games

Is what it is, yeah; can't stop can't slow down

Blue on black, black and blue

Who's attacking who's backing who started it?

God, is it all we'll ever do?

It's the law, it's the gun; it's a war that's never won

Are our wrongs and rights at the core of why it's going on?

We're just doing our job, we do it everyday

Trying to stop the rot, trying to make the place safe

Hey, we don't even live here; we're just travelling the beat

We're not given a choice to forgive here

Just keep the peace and that's all

The law is statutory as the bluing unfolds

And the violence comes naturally as we're doing what we're told

The rivalry and the tribal beat is banging all around

And it's all about what all goes down?

In this crazy part of town; how do they live here?

Hoodies; trouble kinda finds us; but it's not what defines us

But it sometimes reminds us of who we are, hoodies
