just another day living in the hood
just another day around the way
feelin good today feelin lovelyyay
just another day living in the hood
just another day around the way
feelin good today
i hear the gunshot but i’m here to stay
well it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood a beautiful day in the neighborhood
can’t go wrong i feel strong and the flavor’s good
i’m with whatever comes my way hiphop hooray
latifah’s on vacation i’m just plain old dana today
i strap out step out in every direction
glock tecs jimmy hats in case i need protection
so i land cruise pump sounds play out wanna bes
a kid in a m’s getting jacked right in front of me
so i play the tec close my finger’s on the trigger
don’t wanna get wet so they steps ’cause mine’s is slightly bigger
but better yet i’m a threat so you better walk
or get sketched out in chalk ’cause i don’t wanna talk
i stay true blue i’m hoping it’s you too
i got the fever for the flavor of a woo woo
so it’s back to the block time to play
it’s just another day around the way hey
time to chill hit the hill uptown let’s peep the sights
shoot some pool act a fool ’cause it’s on tonight
i’m doing the knowledge it’s not easy easy
watching a cop cuff a kid for selling a clip to a dt
but it’s home so i flex get pressures off my chest
slip in a tape now which hood should i hit next
stomach ache head to steakntake for a bean pie
get a final call from the brother in the bow tie
i’m where little kids dream and fiend for fun
lots of laughter moms no pops playing with her son
i passed by a girl’s wake they say she died at seven
hit by a stray but i pray that there’s a hood in heaven
fake brothers claim there’s no shame in their game
you know my name show me a real nigga with a brain
so it’s back to the block time to play
it’s just another day around the way hey
you know i gotta give props i can’t stop without y’all i’ll be nothin
no wreckin’ no checks and no rhymin’ no cuttin’
no stages front pages no phones no beepers
no reason to put queen in front of the name latifah
i come with the real life perspective and rule
’cause me and my peoples from around the way remain cool
so it’s back to the block time to play
it’s just another day around the way around the muthafuckin’ way
ending
just another day living in the hood
just another day around the way
feelin good today i’m feelin lovelyyay
just another day in the neighborhood
just another day around the way
feelin good today
i hear the gunshot but i’m here to stay
just another day around the way
feelin good today
i hear the gunshot but i’m here to stay
cause it’s just another day in the neighborhood
just another day around the way
i’m feelin good today
i’m feelin lovelyyay
feelin’ good today
feelin’ good today
i know my hood’s okay
it’s gonna be okay
