Just Another Day...

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
