Woke up this morning had a spliff for breakfast

Slept good cuz the toast wasn't under the matress

Hop up in the shower, give my honie a kiss

I'm thinkin, I wish, everyday start like this

Turn on the news, starvin kids got nuff food to eat

And words of truth, put shoes on their feet

Usef Hawkings, still walkin the streets

Rodney King's a millionaire, but he ain't get his ass beat

Tiwanna Brodley gets justice, 

the Panthers thick as ever causing ruckus

No such thing as those Klan motherfuckers

Black sisters are treated like queens, not

chickenheads cluckers

Black men are respected and not treated like suckers

Mike Tyson still a champ, bullshit don't get no airplay

I feel good, what can I see



[Erykah Badu] "Day, what a day"[x4]

[Ice Cube] "I got to say it was good day"



Step out the door, sunshine hit my grill

Even Lee divide a mil, so niggas don't have to kill

It's all peace and love so people do what they wanna

Bumpin to Biggie and Pac, smokin a piece right on the corner

No crack babbies, or unwanted pregnacies

An apple a days the cure for any disease

And ain't no police and no felonies

Bill Clinton smoke crack not Marrion Barry

O.J. keeps his dough, Mumiet is let go

Divine Brown da movie star, Hugh Grant is the ho

Put the card in the ATM and it spit out mad dough

Gave it to an old lady, cuz I always get more

Just livin make me feel good, what can I say, but



[Erykah Badu] "Day, what a day" [x4]

[Ice Cube] "I got to say it was a good day"



90 degrees in the shade, but it don't feel that hot

Giuliani get shot, baby open my favorite spot

There's a party tonight, guess who DJing Scott LeRock

And he's only spinning that real hip hop

Don't be late bop, eleven on the dot, honies flot

It's more dips then dicks, and nobody get shot

Stay here a little minute, then go harvest my crop

By the moonlight, get lifted and call it a night

But first I bump in this princess named Shaniqua Albright

She was lookin mad right, and her body was mad tight

Total control of my will, she couldn't put up a fight

She said if you wan't me take, cuz I have an early flight

Wiffie's waitin up, so I let her go on her way

But when I got home, my shortie said...



[Erykah Badu] "What a day, what a day"

[Ice Cub] "Today was a good day"
