Whoever said you ain't do right by me, they frontin', yo
No need to cry, never get worried
Some day, I'll be right here today, just give me love, Rae
You slipped me away, but Jakes tried to rade me
You gon' live forever, word to mother
I sat with the trees and had conversations at bees
I'll be right here to stay, give me one day
We talked about throwin' money up, landscapin' your knees
The older we get, we understand, you might tear
Yo, "Dooh", that's what they yellin' in vain
Graduations occurred, you look so pretty and new
Some day, I'll be right here today, just give me love, Rae
You keep the little young ones, happy, true
I gotta give you love, 'cuz you gave it God and life
We broke nights, God, knowing you cared, it's time to move on
Some day, I'll be right here today, just give me love, Rae
Plus, they gassin' the mayor, them wanna give you away
Wow, it gets crazy when I think about the money you made me
Some day, I know you'll be far away
Facilities mailing, jail brothers miss you
Dun, they doin' you dirty, we had Summer Youth for that, though
There'll never be another place, everybody happy to see
Come back and kiss you on your feet, here
Baby, baby, don't, run away, come see me
Baby, baby, don't, run away, come see me
I'll be right here to stay, give me one day
Some day, I know you'll be far away
My life is all in your soul, daily, since nana left us
To my hood, I'm always there for you, rain, hail, sleet
Peace, only for a minute and I'mma break out
It's strange when I want it to rain
She took all of your blessings, 'cuz she been there
Try'nna start some, actin' like you never made a penny for 'em
Some day, I know you'll be far away
Baby, baby, don't, run away, come see me
You forget that, something to talk about
Cool, try to be successful and dream
You the realest, the most livest, fliest, you part of life
I'll be right here to stay, give me one day
Baby, baby, don't, run away, come see me
I'll be right here to stay, give me one day
Snow, and I'm there for all the underprivileged, yo we here
They keep police invadin' your space, we can't live
That's why I keep coming back to you, peace
"Carry your fifth, the down the block is gay"
On my best friend's grooming, we all had visions of you
'Cuz she raised you right, and you got fifty-one brothers
I love my hood, I love my there, yo
Nighshifts, smokin' on spliffs, you kept yellin'
My life change, yo, could never though be without you, yo
The city lights is on, now, they wanna turn 'em off
That you be gettin' more company then them, they just be scared of that
Look at the sky, all blue, all old people with you
Some day, I know you'll be far away
Some day, I'll be right here today, just give me love, Rae
We won't have that, suburban people mad at the fact
They couldn't understand that we was a team
Show me where to take the check, pay these suckas off and be out
Baby, baby, don't, run away, come see me
I used to come out, hear you words, talk to me, walk with me, brother
"Hood", look at your name, spell it backwards
