Just waking up in the morning, gotta thank God
I don't know, but today seems kinda odd
No barking from the dogs, no smog
And momma cooked the breakfast with no hog
I got my grub on, but didn't pig out
Finally, got a call from a girl I wanna dig out
Hooked it up on later as I hit the do'
Thinking: Will I live another twenty-fo'?
I gotta go 'cause I got me a drop top
And if I hit the switch, I can make the ass drop
Had to stop at a red light
Looking in my mirror, not a jacker in sight
And everything is alright
I got a beep from Kim and she can fuck all night
Called up the homies, and I'm askin' y'all
Which court, are y'all playin' basketball?
Get me on the court and I'm trouble
Last week fucked around and got a triple double
Freaking niggas every way, like MJ
I can't believe, today was a good day (shit!)
Drove to the pad and hit the showers
Didn't even get no static from the cowards
'Cause just yesterday them fools tried to blast me
Saw the police and they rolled right past me
No flexin', didn't even look in a niggas direction
As I ran the intersection
Went to Short Dog's house, they was watchin' Yo! MTV Raps
What's the haps on the craps
Shake em up, shake em up, shake em up, shake em
Roll em in a circle of niggas and watch me break em
With the seven, seven-eleven, seven-eleven
Seven even back do' Little Joe
I picked up the cash flow
Then we played bones, and I'm yellin' domino
Plus nobody I know got killed in South Central L.A.
Today was a good day (shit!)
Left my niggas' house paid
Picked up a girl been tryin' to fuck since the twelve grade
It's ironic, I had the booze she had the chronic
The Lakers beat the Supersonics
I felt on the big fat fanny
Pulled out the jammy, and killed the poor nanny
And my dick runs deep, so deep, so deep
Put her ass to sleep
Woke her up around one
She didn't hesitate, to call Ice Cube the top gun
Drove her to the pad and I'm coasting
Took another sip of the potion, hit the three-wheel motion
I was glad everything had worked out
Dropped her ass off, then I chirped out
Today was like one of those fly dreams
Didn't even see a berry flashing those high beams
No helicopter looking for a murder
Two in the morning got the fat burger
Even saw the lights of the Goodyear Blimp
And it read Ice Cube's a pimp
Drunk as hell but no throwing up
Halfway home and my pager still blowing up
Today I didn't even have to use my AK
I got to say it was a good day (shit!)
Hey, wait, wait a minute, fool
Stop this shit
What the fuck am I thinking about?
