    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

    I can remember being a girl in South Central Los Angeles in 1993 and how this song made me feel. I had to be in the elementary school 3rd or 4th grade and it’s just as powerful today as it was to me as a kid. Love me some Queen La ❤

    Hands down, one of my favorite Queen tracks. It just makes you feel a type of way. Even in black and white the Queen looks absolutely beautiful. This video and song just transports you back into the mid 90's in the thick of that raw hood, ghetto whats happening on the street. Love the song, peace to all my brothas and sistas in the hood trying to get out of the struggle.

      Old school still is new imo alot of it when you're re-playing much of it, just keep doin it it will never get old. no REAL music, real hip hop never will...CARDI B fake as hell can't rap for nothin i will NEVER play that shiiit.
      Today, we were drivin just now... Me and my lil sister 8 yrs under me so she is 22 and she was blastin it,
      sound so damn good still amazin and every 1 was listening/watchin as we drove by store, with a few dancin when they heard this REAL HIP HOP. gotta love real hip hop. FAKE CARDI B who can't rap like QUEEN, EVE, LIL KIM, LAURYN ever and never will be real hip hop like this....It hasn't left..Old school hip hop and music is the best.
      just play it, and we have it back still. Ima always play it, born late upper eighties.
      THIS IS real hip hop. the beat, her soft spoken sing voice is great on hook,then the hardcore rap flow=REAL FEMALE HIP HOP, amazin she is, still in her 40s i wish she would make more, but i still love her old stuff, always will, peace.
