This rap was inspired by Danez Smith’s Dinosaurs in the Hood

Dinosaurs in the hood, they aint up to no good

Hunting the streets, looking for fresh meat

Come on top of your car, take you right out of your seat

No your gonna be the dinosaur’s feast

They terrorize the streets, they don’t care what your think

They will take you and eat you in the time it takes to blink

They don’t care for your color, black, brown yellow, or pink

And with what is left they’ll spit you out in the sink

Dinosaurs in the hood looking for dinner

With every round they make our numbers get slimmer

Hopefully they only took the sinners

Since there can be only one winner                    

Dinosaurs in the hood, they aint up to no good

It is time for us to test our manhood

Time to dig deep and test our strength

We have to win the battle no matter the length

Grandma’s on the porch doing their part

This war is a battle and will become art

With all we got we can win the fight

We’ll be ready to go day or night

If we dream it, we can believe it

Then this fight will be won

It will take all of us together, not just one

And in the end, the only thing that will come up is the sun.
