FJust waking up in the morning gotta thank God
GmI don't know but today seems kinda odd
F7No barking from the dogs, no smog
GmAnd momma cooked a breakfast with no hog
FI got my grub on, but didn't pig out
GmFinally got a call from a girl want to dig out
F7Hooked it up on later as I hit the do'
GmThinking will i live another twenty fo'
F7I gotta go cause I got me a drop top
GmAnd if I hit the switch, I can make the ass drop
F7Had to stop at a red light
GmLooking in my mirror not a jacker in sight
FAnd everything is alright
GmI got a beep from Kim and she can fuck all night
F7Called up the homies and I'm askin' y'all
GmWhich park, are y'all playin' basketball?
F7Get me on the court and I'm trouble
GmLast week fucked around and got a triple double
FFreaking brothers every way like M.J.
GmI can't believe, today was a good day
F7Drove to the pad and hit the showers
Gm7Didn't even get no static from the cowards
F7Cause just yesterday them Ffools tried to blast me
Saw the police Gmand they rolled right past me
No Fflexin', didn't even look in a Gmniggas direction as I ran the intersection
FWent to $hort Dog's house, they was watchin' Yo! GmMTV Raps
GmWhat's the haps on the craps
FShake 'em up, shake 'em up, shake 'em up, shake 'em
GmRoll 'em in a circle of niggaz and watch me break 'em
FWith the seven, seven-eleven, seven-eleven
Gm7Seven even back do' little Joe
FI picked up the cash flow
GmThen we played bones, and I'm yellin' domino
FPlus nobody I know got killed in South GmCentral L.A.
GmToday was a good dFay
FLeft my niggas house paid
GmPicked up a girl been tryin' to fuck since the twelfth grade
FIt's ironic, I had the Gmbrew she had the chronic
The Lakers beat the Supersonics
FI felt on the big fat fanny
GmPulled out the jammy, and killed the punanny
FAnd my dick runs deep so deep Gmso deep put her ass to sleep
FWoke her up around one
Gmshe didn't hesitate, to call Ice Cube the top gun
FDrove her to the pad and I'm coasting
GmTook another sip of the potion hit the three-wheel motion
FI was glad everything had worked out
GmDropped her ass off, then I chirped out
FToday was like one of those fly dreams
GmDidn't even see a berry flashing those high beams
FNo helicopter looking for a Gmmurder
GmTwo in the morning got the fat burger
FEven saw the lights of the Goodyear Blimp
GmAnd it read Ice Cube's a pimp (yeah)
FDrunk as hell but no throwing up
GmHalf way home and my pager still blowing up
FToday I didn't even have to use my A.K.
GmI got to say it was a good day
GmHey wait, wait a minute fool stop the shit
FWhat the fuck am I thinking about?

Gm7

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 a breakfast with no hog

I got my grub on, but didn't pig out

Finally got a call from a girl want to 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 park, are y'all playin' basketball?

Get me on the court and I'm trouble

Last week fucked around and got a triple double

Freaking brothers every way like M.J.

I can't believe, today was a good day

Drove to the pad and hit the showers

Gm7

Didn't even get no static from the cowards

F7 F

Cause just yesterday them fools tried to blast me

Saw the police and they rolled right past me

F Gm

No flexin', didn't even look in a niggas direction as I ran the intersection

F Gm

Went to $hort 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 niggaz and watch me break 'em

With the seven, seven-eleven, seven-eleven

Today was a good day

Left my niggas house paid

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

F Gm

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

F Gm

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
