(Verse-1)
It’s a beautiful day
In the neighborhood
But niggas as usual
Are up to no good
The bullet missed me
So knock on wood
Mere inches away
From the place where I stood
It’s a beautiful day
In the neighborhood
And I’m on my grind
Trying to make good
Doing my thing
Like I know I should
See I’m a born hustler
And that’s understood
(Hook)
When niggas are on
Their best behavior
Those are the moments
That we ought to savor
Would ya, could ya
Be my neighbor?
Before all’s said and done
By the tombstone engraver
(Verse-2)
It’s a beautiful day
In the neighborhood
But life here is hard
This ain’t Hollywood
No cardigan sweaters
As if it’s all good
Or smell of begonias
Through the cottonwood
It’s a beautiful day
In the neighborhood
Mr. Rogers don’t live here
I don’t think he could
And if he did
Would he be understood?
By the typical thug
Living here in the ‘hood
(Hook)
When niggas are on
Their best behavior
Those are the moments
That we need to savor
Would ya, could ya
Be my neighbor?
Before all’s said and done
By the tombstone engraver
(Verse-3)
It’s a beautiful day
In the neighborhood
But not in Bed-Stuy
Nor in Inglewood
Unemployment is high
So that can’t be good
Kids don’t go to school
Although they should
It’s a beautiful day
In the neighborhood
When no one gets shot
But easily could
Where the law of the jungle
Is well understood
We play on the concrete
Not on hardwood
(Hook/Outro)
When niggas are on
Their best behavior
Those are the moments
That we ought to savor
Would ya, could ya
Be my neighbor?
Before all’s said and done
By the tombstone engraver
