Lyrics:
[Spoken Intro:]
We gon take this one over to 275 Halsted
384 Stuyvesant
We gon take it over to 155 Morgan
144 Harrison

[Chorus:]
Just another day, living in the hood
Just another day around the way
Feelin good today, feelin lovely-yay
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

[Verse 1]
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, hip-hop 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 be’s
A kid in a M3'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

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
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 Steak-N-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

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
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 Chorus:]
Just another day, living in the hood
Just another day around the way
Feelin good today, I'm feelin lovely-yay
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 lovely-yay

Feelin' Good Today
Feelin' Good Today
I Know My Hood's Okay
It's Gonna be Okay

Took me back to the 90's...Moms preparing an evening snack, me playin' with my toys...RIP mom.❤

[tonicody]

Who is Listening👂to this "90" JAM!! in 2024 ??? 🤗

[ImageByMalcolm]

Love this woman. She has always carried herself on a positive level, never got into no silly sh*t, and she’s very private. Much respect to this sista.

[Lorenzo-gtxg]

She raps, she sing, and she looks as beautiful as years ago.

[SpiritBuddy]

Girls nowadays calling each other queens like they deserve to be called that, Queen Latifah earned that title

[WillWize]

This brought tears to my eyes and nostalgia to my soul! This is what we need now, rappers/singers, honestly the overall industry to realize we need to get back to make people feel good. Good music helps heal the soul.

[natsub]

I really don't think people understand how mesmerising this beat and her vocals work together

[rapsace]

Old school, we love you. Who's still listening in 2020?

[jacquigreen]

This reminds me of summer days, block parties, boys having foot races and girls jumping double dutch. The 90's was such a beautiful time. I'm thankful I was alive to experience it.

[brittanyguyton]

Y'all was blessed in the 90s..this song is refreshing.

[commanderhall]

Miss 90s hip hop, the music was just so much better than what we have today

[twann]

I was blessed and felt like it was an honor to have witness the 90's era. We weren't short changed of anything. I'm talking about movies, music, television, childhood etc... we had it all.

[spvcs]

Everybody from Jersey in the 90s made the beat feel exactly what it feels like coming from Jersey. 💯🌲🤺

[ldyluv]

Cardi who??? Nikki who???!?

[kingojugo]

She one of the best female rappers of all time

[TyWerks]

[NOXX]
