Here's a photo I've been looking for
It's a picture of the boy next door
And I loved him more than words can say
Never knew it 'til he moved away
Faded pictures in my scrapbook
Just thought I'd take one more look
And recall when we were all
In the neighborhood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Here's a photo of the neighborhood
Here's the corner where we stood
Here's a snapshot of Dad's old car
Never got us very far
Faded pictures in my scrapbook
Just thought I'd take one more look
And recall when we were all
In the neighborhood
And all those friends
Where did they go, I don't know
All those friends we used to know

Funky beats, Barrow Street
Walking with your dog
I see you, you see me
Then we stop and talk
Later on, some cafe
Thinking what you said
Children laugh, telling jokes
Till their eyes are red
The people feel so good, yeah
Say, boy, say, girl
All in my neighborhood, yeah
Say, boy, say, girl
We got peace, love, and monkey business
Gonna reach the very top
There'll be pride, hope, and Sunday mornings
All the things I'm thinking of
We could change the world, my love
In the night while we are sleeping
The power's in my neighborhood
Liquor store, stop and shop
Old folks sit outside
Restaurants and laundromats
And she's still on my mind
April, May, June, July
August comes around
Pretty soon, a year's gone by
And we're still hanging out
The people feel so good, yeah
Say, boy, say, girl
All in my neighborhood, yeah
Say, boy, say, girl
We got peace, love, and monkey business
Gonna reach the very top
There'll be pride, hope, and Sunday mornings
All the things I'm thinking of
We could change the world, my love
In the night while we are sleeping
Now the rich get richer
And the poor stay poor
And folks get restless
If it don't change soon
But there's a sweet sensation
Turnin' bad to good
And things get better
In my neighborhood, neighborhood
Neighborhood
So burn on
You little candle
Put your light into my head
There's a lone wolf
He's on the mountain
He's the friend you never had
We got peace, love, and monkey business
Gonna reach the very top
There'll be pride, hope, and Sunday mornings
All the things I'm thinking of
So come on down
Come on, come on
Come on down
Come on, come on
Come on down
Come on, come on

I saw you with somebody
That you don't love
You like to show her off
You like to think highly of
The easy mistake that you made
She's a friend of a friend
A pretty fight in a dress
Just a goodbye again
Baby, you can't run round
Honey, it don't look good
Baby, you can't run round
Just anybody in the neighborhood
Someone else's dishes
Someone else's window
Someone else's engine
Underneath someone else's radio
I know what they told you
'Cause I've seen the way that they do
I'm sick of the hard way
I'm gonna walk right up to you
Tell you, honey
Baby, you can't run round
Honey, it don't look good
Baby, you can't run round
Just anybody in the neighborhood
Go on and take my midnight
Go on and take it down
Go on, give it away, baby
To the stranger, you are livin' for
What stranger are you livin' for, now?
Baby, you can't run round
Honey, it don't look good
Baby, you can't run round
Just anybody in the neighborhood
Baby, you can't run round
Honey, it don't look good
Baby, you can't run round

[Hook] x 2
Real nigga pride, rich nigga problems
Real nigga pride, rich nigga problems
Real nigga pride, rich nigga problems
Broke niggas eyes on this rich nigga’s pockets
That late night money had a nigga running wild
And them niggas really in it they don’t crack a smile
Ghetto bitches they be choosing, can’t blame them it’s culture
The police hit them corners, they vultures them niggas on us
She just give us the abus, she just wanna fuck the rims
And let a nigga crush it in a pair of tims
My niggas got felonies fuck around get bucked
And it’s way more to it ain’t just bout a look
They be loading them pistols I keep it for protection
And if my niggas call, I be there in a second
I just keep it g, I put that on the gang
You do a couple shows then think you got a lot of fame
That’s the way of the world, what you see on tv
Tell em I said be careful this ain’t what’s up on our screen
All this from a little white girl, that avril lavigne
Like fuck the middle man I never paid that in between
[Hook] x 2
Real nigga pride, rich nigga problems
Real nigga pride, rich nigga problems
Real nigga pride, rich nigga problems
Broke niggas eyes on this rich nigga’s pockets
Still got real nigga pride, and rich nigga problems
Broke niggas’ eyes on this rich nigga’s pockets
I ain’t switched, I survived, I did this off the slots
And it’s the same game plan that you ain’t wanna be involved with
Fast forward, all these pretty bitches flocking
Swiss wrist watches that my whole click rocking
Bitch nigga salling young nip, split the profit
I ain’t stupid, I ain’t scared, so that’s highly unlikely
Niggas don’t like me, kill me, come fight me, feel me
I ain’t the type of nigga covered his life
I mean I value every breath and see it’s wrong when it’s right
Before you envy my success, respect my sacrifice
And if you can’t then now we dropping caskets twice
Cause if you get me, I got niggas coming back that night
But if you with me we go shopping and don’t ask that price
It’s love or hate, but nigga that’s just life
[Hook] x 2
Real nigga pride, rich nigga problems
Real nigga pride, rich nigga problems
Real nigga pride, rich nigga problems

see this house right here, up on the left side?
it’soccupied by a man they call money mike.
but before he moved in the neighborhood
and he’ll tell you himself, that he was up to no good.
nowi remember seein’ mike in the streets around
didn’tknow what he was in but he was deep down.
hadthem robin leech toys when they came out
rimsthat still spin when the car shut down.
yep,he was livin it up and clever though
buthe wasn’t clever enough he moves real slow.
‘causewhen he went to re-up on green bags
catspulled a sucker move and the deal went bad.
isuppose mike do regret that night
twoslugs to the spine made him not move right.
but mike lived through said the message was clear.
sohe left where he was from and then he moved in here.
immmatake you on a trip where my crib at
cause i’ve hangin in these parts since way back
it aint to far from the spot that you in
you know the liquor store keep straight there’s my residence.
you hear the sound? then respond to that
you’rein my neighborhood where the partys at.
so keep the feet movin from side to side
and get them hands in to space ‘til they scrape the sky.
wassup kaneesha! that’s my homey for shozen
stays up at the house where the garage door open.
she moved from out west about a year and a half
and to see her smile now kinda makes me laugh.
thestory of her life is like a drama mini series
to hear her vocalize it make a brother eyes teary.
shewas probably 5 or 6 when mom and dad split,
pops moved to pittsburg, hasn’t †seen hersince.
momspassed soon after the liquor took her liver.
soshe moved in with her auntie and started actin grown.
graduatedwent to spellman college
andthe fact kaneesha was freaky was general knowledge
shewas looking for love in all the wrong places,
fall in for the thugs with the gold in their faces.
laidwith them all in hopes to build on it
gave them here and they kept stepping on it.
you would see her in the club showin back and neck
onthat chemical affection that she called x
she was a queen, didn’t believe it
nobody ever told her and i guess she didn’t see it.
she wanted change another chance to begin
saw the light and on the way became a virgin again.
usedto think she did too much to ever get right
she‘bout to make a lucky man a spectacular wife.
CHORUS
and then here lives my man clayborn
before he transferred in took a ride in the storm.
came from rich roots with everything he could have wanted
but for some reason, clayborn he didn’t want.
to pof his class and never played hooky
until one day he ate a bag of gangsta cookies.
messin with them guns for the street sensation
stealin cars, pullin home invasions.
he got caught for doin some filthy work
evidence, a shoe print cops found in the dirt.
his life rocked, print matched his shox
it was enough to send him up in the county cell spot.
now a guest of the state, looking back at his deeds
he decided crime life wasn’t fillin his needs.
like morgan in shawshank, clayborn found redemption.

You don't talk too much
We don't understand why you
Are facing towards the sun
Take your photograph come on
Picture all of us have gone
And underneath the sun
Don't you tell them
Don't you tell me
I know, I know
You're already gone
Honey, I know. I know
You're already gone
You don't look too much
You don't cause us such a scene
We understand what you mean
Come on take your neighborhood
All you misunderstood, and
walk towards the sun
Don't you tell them
Don't you tell me
I know. I know.
You're already gone
Honey, I-I know. I know.

[Verse 1: Chiddy]
Come take a look in my neighborhood, another day up in
the ghetto
And grandma cookin' got the breakfast in the kettle
Was nothin' like you were picturin', ever before
Revenge is probably probable, they settle the score
Shit, we don't settle for less, we settle for more
We never was ballin' and still without the credit we
score
It's Bob Marley, we just lookin' for Redemption
And we find ways to claim the kids to get exemptions
Uh, then I used to play the cookout
And then I went the book route, now all you rappers
look out
Just a Kid in the Hall, Arsenio
She could give me knowledge, high definition, Vimeo
I won't give a penny though, and still the boys all
fuego
And what I spit is magic, like it's Vegas at the trade
show
So rollin' late is good, my homies made it good
And this is just another day up in my neighborhood
[Chorus:]
The neighborhood ain't the same no more
Used to ride the bus now we ride on tour
Used to dress plain now we on the plane
Used to play games now we live the game
The neighborhood is just what you find
Used to open up now we headline
And even though it's crazy I'll be just fine
And I promise you that I'll be comin' back sometime
[Verse 2: Killer Mike]
Come take a look at my neighborhood, see a little girl
with the glow
Timidly tellin' momma what momma already know
See momma faced the same situation years ago
Sixteen to seventeen odd years or so
Momma was a pregnant sophomore in ninety-fo'
She worked hard went to school and made it out the
ghetto
Now momma sittin' in the living room, trippin' fool
Wonderin' how her baby done got pregnant skippin'
school
Momma just cried, just cursed
Momma lookin' at the sky askin' Lord am I cursed?
Am I cursed, Lord not my baby
There ain't no charms in the world this crazy
The girl's ain't smart and the boy's just lazy
And unlike us, they'll never make it
So momma makes the heavy-hearted decision
To take her daughter to clinic even though she is a
Christian
[Chorus:]
The neighborhood ain't the same no more
Used to ride the bus now we ride on tour
Used to dress plain now we on the plane
Used to play games now we live the game
The neighborhood is just what you find
Used to open up now we headline
And even though it's crazy I'll be just fine
And I promise you that I'll be comin' back sometime
[Verse 3: Chiddy]
Come take a look at my neighborhood, Nigerian queen
named Geraldine
Made it to the US, she was only eighteen
We ain't have a great scheme, no MBA
And when she came she stayed at the YMCA
Go figure, magna cum laude they should honor us
Had an only daughter with a man named Donatus
And you better swell, had a second child
Moved to New Jersey, we could turn the sorrow to a
smile
Nobody would bet me up, such a juvenile
They say the middle child's always a little wild
But I'm only guilty of my innocence
Relate to Wyclef, Memoir Of An Immigrant
From a place where they tell you poverty's imminent
Momma's stressed out at work, now that's legitimate
Now they could hate the hood, my family made it good
And this is just another day up in my neighborhood
[Chorus:]
The neighborhood ain't the same no more
Used to ride the bus now we ride on tour
Used to dress plain now we on the plane
Used to play games now we live the game
The neighborhood is just what you find
Used to open up now we headline
And even though it's crazy I'll be just fine
