No Ruben - Ruben Studdard (鲁本·司徒亚特)[00:00:00]

Written by：Joe Sample[00:00:00]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To Beverly hills California[00:00:24]

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

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

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

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

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

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

No block no Ruben[00:00:43]

No hood no Ruben[00:00:46]

No boulevards no Ruben[00:00:49]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

No block no Ruben[00:01:28]

No hood no Ruben[00:01:31]

No boulevards no Ruben[00:01:34]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

No block no Ruben[00:02:16]

No hood no Ruben[00:02:19]

No boulevards no Ruben[00:02:21]

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

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

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

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

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

No block no Ruben[00:02:38]

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

No boulevards no Ruben[00:02:44]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ruben let's take them to church[00:03:31]

If it wasn't for the block I said no Ruben[00:03:33]

If it wasn't for the hood no Ruben[00:03:36]

If it wasn't for the boulevards no Ruben[00:03:39]

And and the corner spots no Ruben[00:03:42]

Stayin' up late nights[00:03:45]

Tellin' mama everything gone be[00:03:47]

Let it be let it be no Ruben[00:03:55]
