Just another day around the way
Feelināgoodātoday
Feelinālovely-yay
[Verse 1: Queen Latifah]
Well itās a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day in the neighborhood
Canāt go wrong, I feel strong and the flavorās good
Iām with whatever comes my way, hip-hop hooray
Latifahās on vacation, Iām just plain old Dana today
I strap out, step out in every direction
Glock 17, in case my family need protection
So I Land Cruise, pump sounds, play out wanna beās
A kid rockinā Louisās getting jacked right in front of me
So I pull the Glock close, my fingerās on the trigger
Donāt wanna get wet, so they steps ācause mineās is slightly bigger
Yeah we still on the block, time to play
Itās just another day around the way (hey)
[Chorus: Queen Latifah, Logic]
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
Feelin lovely-yay (Check it out, ay)
[Verse 2: Logic]
Iām feelinā good yeah, Iām feelinā lovely
Backyard sunset, sippin on that Bubly
Ice Cube in my nightcap, it was a good day
You heard what the hood say, Logic what you should play
Killinā shit like OJ, Iām rhyminā like old Jay
Hip-hop phenom, play arenas like Iām Coldplay
Living life and feelinā good
Live your life you really should
Feelinā like youāre no good, but deep down you know you could, make your life better
Lifeās a bitch but when itās hard I donāt regret her
With age I get better, instead of
Obsessing over my youth, Iām over my youth
Give it my all, no I never give it less in the booth
I let it pour like liquor I never lessen the truth
Shoot āem straight, no I canāt water down the truth
Never felt accepted like college they wouldnāt let him in
I guess I didnāt pass the test like Iām pissing amphetamine
They think they better then, me and my fleet rocking stages like we [?]
But all that shit they put me through made me a better man
An outcast like Sir Lucious, I murder it so Confucius
He say; the man who says he can, and the man who says he canāt, are both correct
I come with respect, you come for me I come for your neck
Never gamble with your life because if you call I will collect
Style I perfect, positive messages I inject
I am eclectic, pick up the mic and spit true grit
Word to Hailee Steinfeld, know I rhyme well
Greatest lyricist to ever do it, only time will tell
I got āem all calling it quits
I chop up the sample to bits and then resample that shit
A student of the game and you? An example of shit
Snake-type stab you with a steak knife
Swear this life is like a game of chess
My queen takes your knight, throw you down to flight if you down to fight
Wrote this song in half a night, just to check the rap game, aight?
Yo, ayo, these pages I write, more like the stages of life
Decided to pick up the pen and put down my device
A piece of advice: Your phone takes a piece of your life
So put that shit down, remember keep your chin up in the meantime
This life has alot more to offer you than screen-time
Thats why we tell em, we say!
[Chorus: Queen Latifah]
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
Feelin lovely-yay
