Lyrics

Yo, it's a beautiful day and everybody's feelin' wonderful

The ladies is out lookin' fly, dressed comfortable

I love to wake up and feel the breeze through my window

Slip on a fatigues, grab a dutch and roll some Indo

It be days like these that make life so much easier

Fish thawin' out, Guinness stout in the freezer

Walk the block at my leisure (My leisure)

Summertime is like a anaesthesia

So many pretty things to please ya

The greenery, beautiful birds, natural scenery

Or even just the infinite sky

We be forever puffin', lie on the block

Or tellin' jokes in the ride

When the weather be hot, everybody be outside

Havin' fun (Ay)

Eatin' fresh fruits and vegetables

And good food put me in the mood for a festival

Some say the summer make a woman more sexual ('Sup, boo?)

It's instinct, that's why my game be right on schedule

I put the great Mother Nature on a pedestal

She always fly

But today she's exceptional

If I had a chance to make a wish

Everyday would be just like this

Full a happiness

I feel great even though we got mad things to deal with

Happiness is all in the mind

Let's unwind and find a reason to smile

(Yeah, aye-aye-aye-aye, yeah)

I'm just glad to be livin', feelin' fine

Leavin' my bad times behind feels great

And no, we can't escape from the realness

Happiness is all in the mind

Let's unwind and find a reason to smile

(Yeah, aye-aye-aye-aye, yeah)

I'm just glad to be alive, feelin' fine

Livin' life one day at a time

Feelin' great

Yeah, know what I'm sayin'?

I just wanna give a shout out to everybody who got a birthday today

(Yeah, aye-aye-aye-aye, yeah)

Happiness (Happiness)

Have you ever heard the children play?

Sometimes I feel the same way

Roll up a J and get away

Put some food on the grill or just chill

Maybe build with my elders

Never know the things they could tell ya

Learnin' why the caged bird sings

(Why it do that?)

'Cause it's the vital things you know that separate the men from the kings

The flowers that bloom in the sun (Uh)

And everybody singin' the tune 'cause it's time to have fun

We out, rollerbladin'

A day where no one could've stayed inside

Wash the car, now it's time to take a ride

Me and my crew hangin' out all night to sunrise

Celebration of life, 'cause every day is a surprise

Think of the rich countryside on the land of Jamaica

Mountains, springs and green acres

Or any other place in the world your mind takes you

It's the good times in life that everybody can relate to (Uh)

And you can leave your troubles behind and have a wonderful time

Lay back and just ease your mind (What?)

You can leave your troubles behind and have a wonderful time

Lay back and just ease your mind

I feel great even though we got mad things to deal with

Happiness is all in the mind

Let's unwind and find a reason to smile

(Yeah, aye-aye-aye-aye, yeah)

I'm just glad to be livin', feelin' fine

Leavin' my bad times behind feels great

And no, we can't escape from the realness

Happiness is all in the mind

Let's unwind and find a reason to smile

(Yeah, aye-aye-aye-aye, yeah)

I'm just glad to be alive, feelin' fine

Livin' life one day at a time

Feelin' great

(Yeah, aye-aye-aye-aye, yeah)

(Yeah, aye-aye-aye-aye, yeah)

(Yeah, aye-aye-aye-aye, yeah)
