[Verse 1]
Em F#
As I'm strolling down the block with really nothing on my mind
Bm7 Bm6
Laid back and I'm just thinking of old times
Em F#
Pop in a Isley Brothers tape and I'm maxing
Bm7 Bm6
Peeping through my side view, checking out my waxing
Em F#
Hey, I gotta say
Bm7 Bm6
Today's a good day for me to live around the way (ho)
Em F#
Time to hit the 6-4
Bm7 Bm6
And pump the bass at 'em just to let 'em know
Em F#
Aaliyah's in the house, so I think you'd better check my flow
Bm7 Bm6
Hello, hello
Em F#
I'm the young nation and young nation is me
Bm7 Bm6
So here we go, from the 1 the 2 and 2 the 3

Em F#
I check my cellular because my beeper's beeping
Bm7 Bm6
Booty calls are creeping, fellas on the corner peeping
Em F#
Me (wassup); time to set it off
Bm7 Bm6
And so I pick up my girls and hit the strip just because
Em F#
Jazz array hey, it's Saturday and
Bm7 Bm6
The sun is blazing, it's so amazing
Em F#
And if you are a YNP
Bm7 Bm6
And you're rolling with the A#GE Congratulations
Em F#
I know I got the skills to make you trip
Bm7 Bm6
R Kelly's flipping tracks, so grab a hold and don't you slip
Em F#
The negative young nation that steps to me gets dealt with
Bm7 Bm6
So raise your hands if you're sure
Em
Are you a young nation?

Em F#
Well, 6 o' clock rolls around and now I'm stepping
Bm7 Bm6
Stop to get some dressing, to the mall I'm flexing
Em F#
You know to get them funky croaka-sacks
Bm7 Bm6
Tonight I'm hitting the town, ain't holding nothing back
Em F#
Hey, well alright
Bm7 Bm6
Tonight is the night
Em F#
Well I'm in the mood for celebration
Bm7 Bm6
Or even some jazzy conversation
Em F#
Hey, it's okay
