“Hood Prophet” by Saint CJ is a song and persona. It represents being the voice of hope and light in the midst of the ends and the blocks (The Hood) and a Beacon of light in the darkness.
In the hood, names are referred to as tags and they represent what a person is about whether that be selling illegal goods, handling arms, or causing trouble (violence or dangerous activity). While others boast in these things my tag stands for something different. And I Boast in someone different Jesus and his power flowing through my veins.
This track speaks a new narrative to the Hood. A tearing down of darkness, a stand for truth, and a statement that money and status mean nothing if our souls (our humanity and morals, our spirit, and eternity) are compromised.
