Rolling Through The Hood Lyrics - Kelis

Yesterday, I rolled through the hood 

And I seen somethin' 

And it hurt me 

Yesterday, I rolled throught the hood 

And I seen somethin' 

And it hurt me 

You were talkin' to that woman 

Like you could show her somethin' 

And I didn't know what to do 

You pulled out your pen and paper 

And I know it your number you gave her 

I never thought this bad dream would come true 

[Chorus] 

Baby I want you to know 

The suburbs to the ghetto 

Joy is joy and pain is pain... pain 

One day sooner than you know 

We'll be livin' tomorrow 

And we'll be laughin' about today... today 

Yesterday, I rolled through the hood 

And I seen somethin' 

And it hurt me 

Yesterday, I rolled throught the hood 

And I seen somethin' 

And it hurt me 

You were talkin' to your boys 

And though y'all didn't make noise 

You tapped him and you pointed at this woman 

Then she turned around 

As if she'd been found 

And all I know my heart started jumpin' 

[Chorus] 

Baby I want you to know 

The suburbs to the ghetto 

Joy is joy and pain is pain... pain 

One day sooner than you know 

We'll be livin' tomorrow 

And we'll be laughin' about today... today 

[Repeat: x2] 

Maybe tomorrow... Maybe tomorrow 

Maybe tomorrow... Maybe tomorrow 

Beautiful baby don't you know you mean the world to me 

The moon would lose the sky if you don't stay 

Did I ever tell you that you were my sunshine? 

So basically if you leave, there is no day 

Yesterday, I rolled through the hood 

And I seen somethin' 

And it hurt me 

Yesterday, I rolled through the hood 

And I seen somethin' 

And it hurt me 

Instead of scorin' high in college 

We're scorin' high in gargabe 

And not rememberin' who we are 

And not to mention...forgettin' who God is 

Don't know that you're special 

And God will never forget you 

The world is used, watch what you do with it 

[Chorus] 

Baby I want you to know 

The suburbs to the ghetto 

Joy is joy and pain is pain...pain 

One day sooner than you know 

We'll be livin' tomorrow 

And we'll be laughin' about today...today 

[Repeat: x2] 

Maybe tomorrow... Maybe tomorrow 

Maybe tomorrow... Maybe tomorrow
