[Verse 1]
Now I done had the best times of my life
Seen all kinds of foreign lands, and now I realize (I realize)
Even though so much has changed with time (Changed with time)
I am still on your mind
And I wanna thank you for the love you give me

[Chorus]
I be in the hood
To know me is to love me, baby
I be up in Hollywood
What you see is what you get now, baby
Seen the bad and good
But people just embrace the love
The love in me (Love in me)
Embrace the love in me

[Verse 2]
Take a look and tell me what you see
You gotta understand my hustle just to understand my dreams
(Understand my dreams)
Even though so much has changed with time (Changed with time)
Know that I'm still on my grind
And I wanna thank you for the love you give me

[Chorus]
I be in the hood
To know me is to love me, baby
I be up in Hollywood
What you see is what you get now, baby
Seen the bad and good
But people just embrace the love
The love in me (Love in me)
Embrace the love in me
[Bridge]
Can you feel the love in this song
That I'm singing for you?
(Feel the love, it's just for you)
Tell me can you feel the love, love?
I appreciate the love and
I acknowledge all the things that you do
I appreciate the things you do
(And it's good to know that you feel me)

[Chorus]
I be in the hood
To know me is to love me, baby
I be up in Hollywood
What you see is what you get now, baby
Seen the bad and good
But people just embrace the love
The love in me (Love in me)
I be in the hood
To know me is to love me, baby
(I be in your hood and I know I'm good)
I be up in Hollywood
What you see is what you get now, baby
Seen the bad and good
But people just embrace the love
The love in me (Love in me, oh, in me)
