It Was A Good Day

Lyrics

Yeah (you are)
 Yeah (you are)
 (You are)
 Just wakin' up in the mornin', gotta thank God
 I don't know, but today seems kinda odd
 No barkin' from the dog, no smog
 And mama 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 for later as I hit the door
 Thinkin', "Will I live another 24?"
 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
 Lookin' in my mirror, not a jacker in sight
 And everything is alright
 I got a beep from Kim, and she can do it all night
 Called up the homies, and I'm askin' y'all
 "Which park are y'all playin' basketball?"
 Get me on the court and I'm trouble
 Last week, messed around and got a triple-double
 Freakin' brothers every way like MJ
 I can't believe today was a good day
 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 brother's 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 homies and watch me break 'em with the seven
 7-11, 7-11, seven, even back door 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
 Left my homie's house paid (word)
 Picked up a girl been tryna dig since the 12th grade
 It's ironic, I had the brew, she had the chronic
 The Lakers beat the Supersonics
 Felt on the big fat fanny
 Pulled out the jammy and killed the punani
 And my jimmy runs deep, so deep
 So deep put her butt 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 coastin'
 Took another sip of the potion, hit the three-wheel motion
 I was glad everything had worked out
 Dropped her butt off and then chirped out
 Today was like one of those fly dreams
 Didn't even see a berry flashin' those high beams
 No helicopter lookin' for the murder
 Two in the morning, got the Fatburger
 Even saw the lights of the Goodyear Blimp
 And it read "Ice Cube's a Pimp"
 Drunk as hell but no throwin' up
 Halfway home and my pager still blowin' up
 Today I didn't even have to use my AK
 I gotta say it was a good day
 ♪
 Hold up, Pooh, stop this, man
 I don't know what I'm thinkin' about
