Just another day, living in the hood

Just another day around the way

Feelin' good today, feelin' lovely, yea

Just another day, living in the hood

Just another day around the way

Feelin' good today, I hear the, 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 wit whateva comes my way, hip-hop, hooray

Latifah's on vacation, I'm just playin' on day to day I strap out, step out in every direction

Glock, tech, Jimmy hat's, in case I need protection

So I Land Cruise, pump sounds, play I wanna be's

A kid in the M3's gettin' jacked right in front of me So I pull the tech close, my finger's on the trigger

Don't wanna get wet, so they step

'Cause mines is slightly bigger

But better yet, I'm a threat, so ya better walk

Or get sketched out in chalk, 'cause I don't wanna talk I stay true blue, I'm hopin' it's you too

I got the fever for the flava of a book book

So it's back to the block time to play

It's just another day around the way, hey Just another day, living in the hood

Just another day around the way

Feelin' good today, feelin' lovely, yea

Just another day, living in the hood

Just another day around the way

Feelin' good today, I hear the, but I'm here to stay Time to chill, hit the hill, uptown let's keep the sights

Shoot some pool, act a fool, 'cause it's on tonight

I'm doin' the knowledge, it's not easy, easy

Watchin' a cop cuff a kid for sellin' a clip to a D T 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, had a steak and take for a bean pie

Get a final call for the brother in the bow-tie I'm a little kids dream, and fiend for fun

Lots of laughter moms, no pops playin' wit her son

I pass by, girls 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 wit a brain

Too it's back to the block time to play

It's just another day around the way, hey Just another day, living in the hood

Just another day around the way

Feelin' good today, feelin' lovely, yea

Just another day, living in the hood

Just another day around the way

Feelin' good today, I hear the, but I'm here to stay You know I gotta get props, I can't stop, wit out y'all

I be nothin', no wreckin', no checks, no rhymin', no cuttin'

No stages from pages, no phones, no beepers

No reason to put Queen in front of the name Latifah I come with the real, like respectin' in rule

'Cause me and my people's around the way remain cool

So it's back to the block time to play

It's just another day, around the world, around the muthafuckin' way Just another day, living in the hood

Just another day around the way

Feelin' good today, I'm feelin' lovely, yea

Just another day, living in the neighborhood

Just another day around the way

Feelin' good today, I hear the, but I'm here to stay Just another day, living in the hood

Just another day around the way

Feelin' good today

I hear the, but I'm here to stay 'Cause just another day, in the neighborhood

Just another day around the way

I'm feelin' good today, I'm feelin' lovely, yea

Feelin' good today, feelin' good today

I know my hood's okay, it's gonna be okay
