Yeah, uh it's all good now
It's all good now
We out the hood now
It's all good now
We out the hood now, we out the hood now
It's all good now
We out the hood now
It's all good now, NU
Who thought we'd see the day when we're kick our feet up
Lay back, exhale, haa, put the heat up
No stress, no scale, no jail could keep us
Only case we catching now would be a misdemeanor
Remember we used to hustle thinking life would cheat us
Not knowing if we struggled life would treat us
Think on how mommy carried us, where life gon' lead us?
Knowing if we getting married, our wife will need us
If at one time you could look into my mind
When I close my eyes and remember them times
No gas, had a hot plate heat our dinners
No cash, most nights ate sleep for dinner
Welfare and white landlord, that life ain't easy
Only ones is moving up was George and Weezy
All my sugar water babies who live in autos, it's crazy
You keep it in the dark, I'mma speak it from the heart
Remember dem days, livin' all days in doubt
Remember dem days, thinking there's no way out
Remember dem days, not knowing which way to route, uhh
It's all good now, we out the hood now
Remember dem days, all of us under the covers
Remember dem days, heating up the house with the oven
Remember dem days, thinking that life ain't love us, come on
It's all good now, we out the hood now
Remember kids who run the block
You never thought they would get harmed
Only time our block got wet is when is sprinklers loose on
Think about that time dawg that wasn't long
Now that we got kids think when we was born
Coming up in my hood was hard, every day my mom cooked with lard
F..cked up I couldn't feed myself, living life no means of wealth
Eating shit I can't believe myself, that's not a joke
Man I was dealt these cards and I played dem out
Yeah the road was rough but I made a route
Now picture running extension cords from your neighbor's house
To get lights, f..ck Max on the latest routes
Used to close my eyes try to fade it out
Dumb niggas in the hood think I made it out
Man that showed me just where they mental at
And tell me half of these cats ain't been through Jack
Remember dem days, livin' all days in doubt
Remember dem days, thinking there's no way out
Remember dem days, not knowing which way to route, uhh
It's all good now, we out the hood now
Remember dem days, all of us under the covers
Remember dem days, heating up the house with the oven
Remember dem days, thinking that life ain't love us, come on
It's all good now, we out the hood now
Yo, every day I think Deke and Rola
For introducing me to Dame and Hovah
Ever since that day I met Jay, man, I knew my pain was over
They let me in this game it's over
Mom, I know I put you through hell, but now I'm gonna order you heaven
No more temporary layoffs like Florida Evans
Ain't no good times about dat there
Your boy rhyme now, and it's fine now, we out dat there
F..ck that Access car
I'mma work extra hard to turn that into a platinum express car
You can have sweet dreams at night
Your boy ain't out there with dem toys and them pings at night
All dem cracks and the gats left that life alone
It's the tracks and the raps and the microphone
Wish y'all would f..ck that up now
Shit it's all good now, we out the hood now
Remember dem days, livin' all days in doubt
Remember dem days, thinking there's no way out
Remember dem days, not knowing which way to route, uhh
It's all good now, we out the hood now
Remember dem days, all of us under the covers
Remember dem days, heating up the house with the oven
Remember dem days, thinking that life ain't love us, come on
It's all good now, we out the hood now
