[Verse 1]
Don't get too close to me, don't overreact
You're not the enemy as a matter of fact
You got your pretty face and you got any name you wore
Gonna stick by you, gonna stumble over what to do

[Hook]
I want it, good loving, wanna be your plaything
I want it, good loving, bring out the beast in me
I want it, good loving, wanna make your heart sing
In the shadows we are free and I walk you through it

[Chorus]
It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You're in trouble if you disagree with me
It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You find out why

It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You're in trouble if you disagree with me
It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You find out why

[Verse 2]
So many tell you that you can't win
It's a battle if you're lonely or if you're starting over
Two-fisted and fast on your feet
And you know there's something more
And the city kicks it out of you and
[Hook]
I want it, good loving, wanna be your plaything
I want it, good loving, bring out the worst in me
I want it, good loving, wanna make your heart sing
In the shadows we are free and I walk you through it

[Chorus] (x2)
It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You're in trouble if you disagree with me
It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You find out why

[Post-Chorus]
It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You're in trouble if
(Trouble)
You disagree with me
It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You find out why

[Instrumental]

[Chorus - Var. 1]
It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You're in trouble if you disagree with me
It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You find out why
