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 ni**a 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 muthaf**kin` 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
