Just another day, living in the hood
Just another day around the way
Feeling good today, feeling lovely-yay
Just another day, living in the hood
Just another day around the way
Feeling 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 with whateva′ comes my way, hip-hop hooray
Latifah's on vacation, I′m just plain ol' Dana today
I strap out, step out in every direction
Glock, tech, jimmy hat′s, in case I need protection
So I land cruise, play I wanna be's
A kid in the M3 is gettin' jacked right in front of me

So I play the tech close, my finger′s on the trigger
Don′t wanna get wet, so they step
Cause mine's is slighty bigger
But better yet, I′ma threat, so ya' 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

Just another day, living in the hood
Just another day around the way
Feeling good today, feeling lovely-yay
Just another day, living in the hood
Just another day around the way
Feeling good today
I hear the-, but I′m here to stay


Time to chill, hit the hill, uptown let′s keep it sight's
Shoot some pool, act a fool, cause it′s own tonight
I'm doing 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 pressure's 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 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

Just another day, living in the hood
Just another day around the way
Feeling good today, feeling lovely-yay
Just another day, living in the hood
Just another day around the way
Feeling good today
I hear the-, but I′m here to stay

You know I gotta give props, I can't stop, without y′all, I'll be nothing
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 wha?), around the muthaf′- way

Just another day, living in the hood
Just another day around the way
Feeling good today, I'm feeling lovely-yay
Just another day, in the neighborhood
Just another day around the way
Feeling good today
I hear the-, but I′m here to stay

Just another day, living in the hood
Just another day around the way
Feeling good today
I hear the-, but I'm here to stay

Cuz' it′s just another day in the neighborhood
Just another day around the way
I′m feeling good today, I'm feeling lovely-yay
I′m feeling good today, feeling good today
And then hood's ok, it′s gonna be ok
