[00:00:00] Written by：Joe Sample

[00:00:01] Yeah man these folks think

[00:00:02] Just 'cause I won some American idol show

[00:00:05] Everything ain't the same

[00:00:08] Man you know they see me on TV

[00:00:10] Or up in the crib every week

[00:00:12] And you think everything is all good

[00:00:15] I mean it really is all good man keep secure

[00:00:21] From hangin' out late in the Elma

[00:00:24] To Beverly hills California

[00:00:26] From heatin' up the leftovers

[00:00:29] To becomin' a restaurant owner

[00:00:32] From a little block from a little hood

[00:00:35] To the whole world and it's all good

[00:00:38] And if ya didn't know

[00:00:40] I was a star before the show but if it was

[00:00:43] No block no Ruben

[00:00:46] No hood no Ruben

[00:00:49] No boulevards no Ruben

[00:00:51] No corner spots no Ruben

[00:00:54] No stayin' up late nights

[00:00:57] Tellin' mama everything gone be alright

[00:01:01] And if it was no you

[00:01:03] There would be no Ruben

[00:01:06] From wearin' my big brother's clothes

[00:01:08] To buyin' him a new wardrobe

[00:01:11] From listenin' to Fred Hammond

[00:01:14] To hangin' out with Fred Hammond

[00:01:17] From a little block from a little hood

[00:01:19] To the whole world and it's all good

[00:01:23] And if ya didn't know

[00:01:24] I was a star before the show but if it was

[00:01:28] No block no Ruben

[00:01:31] No hood no Ruben

[00:01:34] No boulevards no Ruben

[00:01:36] No corner spots no Ruben

[00:01:39] No stayin' up late nights

[00:01:41] Tellin' mama everything gone be alright

[00:01:45] And if it was no you

[00:01:48] There would be no Ruben

[00:01:54] This goes out to the barbershops

[00:01:56] The black man's country club

[00:01:59] And this goes out to the single mothers

[00:02:02] At the laundry mat foldin' the covers

[00:02:05] You're my inspiration

[00:02:07] And you've been my motivation

[00:02:10] And that's why

[00:02:12] I had to do this dedication 'cause if it was

[00:02:16] No block no Ruben

[00:02:19] No hood no Ruben

[00:02:21] No boulevards no Ruben

[00:02:24] No corner spots no Ruben

[00:02:27] No stayin' up late nights

[00:02:29] Tellin' mama everything gone be alright

[00:02:33] And if it was no you

[00:02:36] There would be no Ruben

[00:02:38] No block no Ruben

[00:02:41] No hood and no Ruben

[00:02:44] No boulevards no Ruben

[00:02:46] No corner spots no Ruben

[00:02:49] No stayin' up late nights

[00:02:52] Tellin' mama everything gone be alright

[00:02:56] And if it was no you

[00:02:58] There would be no Ruben

[00:03:01] Hey Ruben let's take 'em to church

[00:03:03] If it wasn't for the block no Ruben

[00:03:05] If it wasn't for the hood no Ruben

[00:03:08] If it wasn't for the boulevards no Ruben

[00:03:11] And and the corner spots no Ruben

[00:03:14] Stayin' up late nights

[00:03:16] Tellin' mama everything gone be all right

[00:03:21] And if it was for you there would be

[00:03:25] There would be no Ruben

[00:03:29] Hey man I don't think they heard you
