U talkin bout tha pound...
You get killed anywhere you go yo, it dont matter the hood its the people u fuck wit and how you act n conduct yourself. u get killed in p town just like u get killed in newark or n.orleans or east new york or whatever, u feel me? people dont realize the main thing...if u just passin thru....u keep to yourself n dont act stupid n you most likely gonna be straight....people be all worried hearin bout ppl gettin shot or whatever not thinkin most of the ppl that happens to, is caught up n involved in shit, you feel me, they got reasons for that shit, it aint all just random. u just visiting, u aint involved in no drama or nothin, n aint a part of the life , n u aint got to worry about that they aint worried about u....The most u got to worry about is stickin out of place n gettin ran up on wit some guns or whatever cuz u were stupid n brought a nice car/nice clothes etc to the hood and made notice of it. thats what people who dont know whas up got to worry about....not real intense shit mostly....sure there is always the random freak wrong place wrong time kinda problems, but in general when you passin thru, YOU aint the one who got to live wit the problems there, you are just in n out, so i dont know why people get so paranoid about whats gonna happen to em like the hood is a livin breathin monster thats gonna break ur windows n eat u a live just for passing over a certain street....u feel me....
