Lyrics

Yeah man, these folks think just cause I won some american idol show, everythang aint the same
Man you know they see me on t.v. or up in da crib every week
And you think everything is all good
I mean, it really is all good man
Keep securcurcurcurcure

From hangin out late in the elma, to beverly hills, california
From heatin up the leftovers,to becomin a restaraunt owner
From a litle block, from a little hood, to the whole world and it's all
Good
And if ya didn't know, I was a star before the show, but if it was...

( Hook )
No block, no ruben
No hood, no ruben
No boulevards, no ruben
No cornerspots, no ruben
No stayin up late nights, tellin mama everything gone be alright
And if it wansn't no yoouuu..
There would be no ruben

From wearin my big brother's clothes, to buyin him a new wardrobe (yes I did)
From listenin to fred hammond, to hangin out wit fred hammond
From a little block from a little hood, to the whole world and it's all good
And if ya didn't know iwas a star (was a star) before the show (before the show) but if it waas..

( Hook )
No block, no ruben
No hood, no ruben
No boulevards, no ruben
No cornerspots, no ruben
No stayin up late nights, tellin mama everything gone be alright
And if it wansn't no yoouuu..
There would be no ruben

Aaaaahaaaaaheeey
This goes out to the barbershops, the black man's country club
And this goes out to the single mothers, at the laundry mat fooldin covers
Your my inspiration, and you've been my motivation
And that's whhyyyy,i had to do this dedication cause if it waaaaaaas..

[Hook 2x]
No block, no ruben
No hood, no ruben
No boulevards, no ruben
No cornerspots, no ruben
No stayin up late nights, tellin mama everything gone be alright
And if it wansn't no yoouuu..
There would be no ruben

Hey ruben let's take em to church..
If it wasn't for the block (no ruben)
If it wasn't for the hood (no ruben)
If it wasn't for the boulevards (no ruben)
And and the cornerspots (nooo ruben)
Stayin up (late nights) late nights (tellin mama) tellin mama (everything gone beee) all right (heeeyy)
And if it wasn't for yoouuu... there would be, there would be, no ruben. hey man I don't think they heard you
Ruben let's take them to church
