But I’ll be hood forever

from Jay-Z (Ft. Alicia Keys) – Empire State of Mind Lyrics on Rap Genius

Even though he moved to a fancy area he will never forget where he came from. And no matter how big and rich he becomes and how much he interacts with the TriBeCa set such as DeNiro, he’ll still be considered “hood” by that crowd; he’ll never quite fit in.
