It Was A Good Day Lyrics
[00:00.08] Break 'em!
[00:02.39]
[00:07.63]
[00:09.50]
[00:18.17] Shit!
[00:18.46] Yo! Yeah!
[00:21.07]
[00:23.67] Just wakin' up in the mornin', gotta thank God
[00:26.96] I don't know, but today seems kinda odd
[00:29.72] No barkin' from the dog, no smog
[00:33.01] And momma cooked a breakfast with no hog (damn!)
[00:35.55] I got my grub on, but didn't pig out
[00:38.14] Finally, got a call from a girl I wanna dig out (what's up?)
[00:41.58] Hooked it up fo' later as I hit the do'
[00:44.15] Thinkin', "Will I live another 24'?"
[00:47.09] I gotta go 'cause I got me a drop top
[00:49.82] And if I hit the switch, I can make the ass drop
[00:53.58] Had to stop at a red light
[00:55.63] Lookin' in my mirror, not a jacker in sight
[00:58.88] And everything is alright
[01:01.05] I got a beep from Kim, and she can fuck all night
[01:05.23] Called up the homies, and I'm askin' y'all
[01:07.78] Which park, are y'all playin' basketball?
[01:11.07] Get me on the court and I'm trouble
[01:13.55] Last week fucked around and got a triple-double
[01:16.46] Freakin' niggas every way like MJ
[01:19.26] I can't believe, today was a good day, shit!
[01:24.04]
[01:33.65] Drove to the pad and hit the showers
[01:35.76] Didn't even get no static from them cowards
[01:38.52] 'Cause just yesterday, them fools tried to blast me
[01:42.29] Saw the police, and they rolled right past me
[01:45.53] No flexin', didn't even look in a nigga's direction
[01:49.35] As I ran, the intersection
[01:51.44] Went to Short Dog's house, they was watchin' Yo! MTV Raps
[01:55.08] What's the haps on the craps?
[01:56.83] Shake 'em up, shake 'em up, shake 'em up, shake 'em!
[01:59.72] Roll 'em in a circle of niggas, and watch me break 'em
[02:02.44] Wit' the seven, 7-11, 7-11
[02:06.20] Seven, even back do' Lil Joe
[02:09.18] I picked up the cash flow
[02:11.47] Then we played bones, and I'm yellin' "Domino!"
[02:14.32] Plus, nobody I know got killed in South Central LA
[02:18.53] Today was a good day, shit!
[02:23.13]
[02:32.52] Left my nigga's house paid
[02:34.41] Picked up a girl been tryna fuck since the 12th grade
[02:38.49] It's ironic, I had the brew, she had the chronic
[02:41.91] The Lakers beat the Supersonics
[02:44.13] I felt on her big fat fanny
[02:46.47] Pulled out the jammy and killed the punani
[02:49.55] And my dick runs deep, so deep, so deep
[02:53.32] Put her ass to sleep
[02:55.52] Woke her up around one
[02:57.18] She didn't hesitate to call Ice Cube the top gun
[03:00.89] Drove her to the pad and I'm coastin'
[03:03.10] Took another sip of the potion, hit the three-wheel motion
[03:07.23] I was glad everything had worked out
[03:10.36] Dropped her ass off, and then chirped out
[03:13.16] Today was like one of those fly dreams
[03:15.59] Didn't even see a berry flashin' those high beams
[03:19.22] No helicopter lookin' for a murder
[03:22.08] Two in the mornin', got the Fatburger
[03:25.08] Even saw the lights of the Goodyear Blimp
[03:27.66] And it read, "Ice Cube's a pimp!" (Yeah)
[03:30.83] Drunk as hell, but no throwin' up
[03:33.03] Halfway home, and my pager's still blowin' up
[03:36.54] Today, I didn't even have to use my AK
[03:39.87] I gotta say it was a good day, shit!
[03:44.04]
[04:16.15] Hey, wait, wait a minute!
[04:16.99] Pooh, stop this shit!
[04:18.38] What the fuck am I thinkin' about?
[04:19.50]
[00:02.39]
[00:07.63]
[00:09.50]
[00:18.17] Shit!
