It Was a Good Day (Clean Radio Version)

[Verse 1]

Just wakin' up in the morning, gotta thank God

I don't know, but today seems kinda odd

No barking 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' brothas every way like MJ

I can't believe today was a good day

[Verse 2]

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 brotha'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 7, 7-11, 7-11

7, 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

[Verse 3]

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

[Outro]

Hold up, Pooh, stop this, man

I don't know what I'm thinkin' about
