Lyrics

Uh
Yup
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Uh-ho
Uh
Woke up this morning, had a spliff for breakfast
Slept good 'cause the toast wasn't under the mattress
Hop up in the shower, give my honey a kiss
I'm thinking, "I wish every day start like this"
Turn on the news, starving kids got enough food to eat
And words of truth put shoes on their feet
Yusef Hawkins still walking the street
Rodney King's a millionaire, but he ain't get his ass beat
Tawana Brawley gets justice, the Panther stickers never causing ruckus
No such thing as those Klan motherfuckers
Black sisters are treated like queens, not chicken-head cluckers
Black men are respected and not treated like suckers
Mike Tyson's still a champ, bullshit don't get no airplay
I feel good, what can I say?
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
I gotta say, what a good day
Step out the door, sunshine hit my grill
Evenly divide a meal so **** don't have to kill
It's all peace and love, so people do what they wanna
Bumped into Biggie and Pac smoking a peace pipe on the corner
No crack babies or unwanted pregnancies
The apple a day's the cure for any disease
And ain't no police and no felonies
Bill Clinton smoke crack, not Marion Barry
O.J. keeps his dough, Mumia is let go
Devon Brown's the 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 'cause I always get more
Just living make me feel good, what can I say?
But
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
I gotta say, what a good day
Ninety degrees in the shade, but it don't feel that hot
Giuliani gets shot, they reopened my favorite spot
There's a party tonight, guess who DJ-ing? Scott La Rock
And he's only spinning that real hip-hop
Don't be late, bop, eleven on the dot
Honeys flock, it's more dips than dicks, and nobody gets shot
Stay here a little minute, then go harvest my crops
By the moonlight, get lifted and call it a night
But first I bump into this princess named Shaniqua Albright
She was looking mad right and her body was mad tight
Total control of my will, she couldn't put up a fight
She said, "If you want me, take me, 'cause I have an early flight"
Wifey's waiting up, so I let her go on her way
But when I got home, my shorty said
What a day, what a day
Can't believe today was a good day
