Cause all we tryna do is do good
Put on my hood when I walk through hoods
Cause these niggas these days is loco

from Joey BADA$$ – Waves Lyrics on Rap Genius

A reference to the killing of Trayvon martin by George Zimmerman. One reason why Zimmerman confronted and ultimately killed Travon was cause he didn’t “belong” in that white neighbourhood.

Joey turns this idea into a nice hook later on in the mixtape on “Righteous Minds”:

It ain’t easy living life like this
When you tryin' to be righteous
But know a nigga might just
Leave you lifeless for prices
High tech devices
So keep your Tec-9 or meet your crisis
