[Chorus: Tiffany Villareal]

Some day, I know you'll be far away

I'll be right here to stay, give me one day

Baby, baby, don't, run away, come see me

Some day, I'll be right, here today, just give me love, Rae.



[Raekwon]

To my hood, I'm always there for you

Rain, hail, sleet, snow, and I'm there

For all the underprivileged, yo we here

My life is all in your soul, daily, since nana left us

She took all of your blessings, cuz she been there

My life change, yo, could never though be without you, yo

It's strange when I want it to rain

On my best friend's grooming, we all had visions of you

We broke nights, God, knowing you cared

Peace, nigga, only for a minute and I'mma break out

Come back and kiss you on your feet, here

I love my hood, I love my niggaz, there, yo

The older we get, we understand, you might tear



[Chorus: Tiffany Villareal]



[Raekwon]

You keep the little young ones, happy, true

Graduations occured, you look so pretty and new

Look at the sky, all blue, all old people with you

Facilities mailing, jail brothers miss you

Wow, it gets crazy when I think about the money you made me

Slipped me away, but Jakes tried to rade me

Nighshifts, smokin' on spliffs, you kept yellin'

"Carry your fifth, the down the block niggaz is gay"

They keep police invadin' your space, we can't live

Plus, they gassin' the mayor, them niggaz wanna give you away

We won't have that, suburban people mad at the fact

That you be gettin' more company then them, they just be scared of that

"Hood", look at your name, spell it backwards

Yo, "Dooh", that's what they yellin' in vain

You the realest, the most livest, flyest, you part of lif
