It Was a Good Day (radio version) - Ice Cube

Just waking up in the morning, gotta thank God

I don't know but today seems kinda odd

No barkin' from the dog, no smog

And mama cooked a 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 M.J.

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 nigga'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 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

Left my nigga's house paid

Picked up a girl I been tryin' to fuck since the twelfth grade

It's ironic, I had the brew she had the chronic

The Lakers beat the SuperSonics

I felt on the big fat fanny

Pulled out the jammy and killed the punanny

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 and then 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

Hey wait, wait a minute, fool

Stop the shit

What the fuck am I thinking about?
