Bring The Whole Hood

By Evvie McKinney

Lyrics

I come from Memphis, Tennessee

Little small house big family

Seven kids and I’m the baby

But I’m grown now

And I’m like praise the Lord

Cause everything I’ve been praying for

Is finally knocking on my door

And it’s so so loud

 

And I’m gon’ take it

Mmhmm, I told y’all I’m gon’ make it

And when I make it

 

I’ma bring the whole hood with me

They say girl what you talkin about

I’ma bring the whole hood with me

Then I’ma buy my mama a house

 

And my mama done worked her butt off

Make sure the lights don’t cut off

Made sure we never went hungry

So now I gotta make that money

And I’m making my daddy so proud

That’s where I got my sound

I know that he can hear me now

Putting on for my town (M-TOWN)

 

I’ma bring the whole hood with me

They say girl what you talkin about

I’ma bring the whole hood with me

Then I’ma buy my mama a house

(Mama get ready girl)

 

When I make it, we make it

(When I make)

When I make it, we make it

(When I make it mama)

When I make it, we make it

(Mama I made it)

When I make it, we make it

(Said mama I made it)

When I make it, we make it

(Mama I made it)

When I make it, we make it

(Mama I made it, ah)

When I make it, we make it

(Mama I made)

When I make it

I come from Memphis, Tennessee

Seven kids and I’m the baby

But I’m grown, I’m grown

 

And I’m gon’ take it, Oo

I told y’all I’m gon’ make it

And when I make it

 

When I make it, we make it

(When I make it)

When I make it, we make it

(We gon’ make it)

When I make it, we make it

(When I make it)

When I make it, we make it

(We gone make it)

 

I come from Memphis, Tennessee
