[Intro: Beanie Sigel]

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


[Verse 1: Beanie Sigel]

Who thought we'd see the day when we'd kick our feet up?

Lay back, exhale, put the heat up

No stress, no scale, no jail could keep us

Only case we catching now'd 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 wives gon' need us

If for 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 that's moving up was George and Weezy

All my sugar water babies

Who live in all that was crazy

You keep it in the dark

I'ma speak it from the heart


[Chorus: Eve]

Remember them days, livin' all days in doubt?

Remember them days, thinking there's no way out?

Remember them days, not knowing which way to route?

It's all good now

We out the hood now

Remember them days, all of us under the covers?

Remember them days, heating up the house with the oven?

Remember them days, thinking that life ain't love us? (Come on)

It's all good now

We out the hood now


[Verse 2: Beanie Sigel]

Remember kids would run the block, you never thought they would get harmed

Only time the block got wet is when the sprinklers was 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

Fucked 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 'em out

Yeah, the road was rough, but I made a route

Now picture running extension cord from your neighbor's house

To get lights, fuck nights 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


[Chorus: Eve]

Remember them days, livin' all days in doubt?

Remember them days, thinking there's no way out?

Remember them days, not knowing which way to route?

It's all good now

We out the hood now

Remember them days, all of us under the covers?

Remember them days, heating up the house with the oven?

Remember them days, thinking that life ain't love us? (Come on)

It's all good now

We out the hood now


[Verse 3: Beanie Sigel]

Yo, every day I thank Saadiq and Roller

For introducing me to Dame and Hova

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 that there

Your boy rhyme now, it's fine now, we out that there

Fuck that Access card –

I'ma work extra hard, to turn that to a Platinum Express card

You can have sweet dreams at night

Your boy ain't out there with them toys and them fiends at night

All them cracks and the gats, left that life alone

It's the tracks and the raps and the microphone

Wish y'all would fuck that up now

Shit, it's all good now

We out the hood now


[Chorus: Eve]

Remember them days, livin' all days in doubt?

Remember them days, thinking there's no way out?

Remember them days, not knowing which way to route?

It's all good now

We out the hood now

Remember them days, all of us under the covers?

Remember them days, heating up the house with the oven?

Remember them days, thinking that life ain't love us? (Come on)

It's all good now

We out the hood now
