REm7 FA11
     Just wakin' up in the mornin', gotta thank God
SOLm7/9                           REm7
 I don't know, but today seems kinda odd
FA11
 No barkin' from the dog, no smog
SOLm7/9                                REm7
 And mama cooked the breakfast with no hog
FA11
 I got my grub on, but didn't pig out
SOLm7/9                                   REm7  
Finally got a call from a girl I wanna dig out
FA11
 Hooked it up for later as I hit the door
SOLm7/9                          REm7
Thinkin', "Will I live another 24?"
FA11
I gotta go 'cause I got me a drop-top
    SOLm7/9                              REm7 FA11 
And if I hit the switch, I can make the ass  drop

Had to stop at a red light
SOLm7/9                               REm7
Lookin' in my mirror, not a jacker in sight
FA11
 And everything is alright
        SOLm7/9                           REm7 FA11
I got a beep from Kim, and she can do it all night
                                       SOLm7/9
Called up the homies, and I'm askin' y'all
                                REm7 FA11
"Which park are y'all playin' basketball?"
                                   SOLm7/9
Get me on the court and I'm trouble
                                      REm7
Last week, messed around and got a triple-double
FA11
 Freakin' brothers every way like MJ
SOLm7/9                          REm7
 I can't believe today was a good day...

FA11     SOLm7/9    REm7 FA11     SOLm7/9

REm7 FA11
     Drove to the pad and hit the showers
            SOLm7/9   
Didn't even get no static from the cowards
     REm7         FA11
'Cause just yesterday them fools tried to blast me
SOLm7/9                                REm7 FA11
Saw the police and they rolled right past   me
                                  SOLm7/9        
No flexin', didn't even look in a brother's direction 
                   REm7
as I ran the intersection
FA11
 Went to Short Dog's house, 
                       SOLm7/9
they was watchin' Yo! MTV Raps
                             REm7
What's the haps on the craps?
FA11            
Shake 'em up, shake 'em up, shake 'em up, shake 'em
SOLm7/9
Roll 'em in a circle of homies 
                       REm7     FA11
and watch me break 'em with the seven
        SOLm7/9                     REm7             
7-11, 7-11, seven, even back door Little Joe
FA11
 I picked up the cash flow
SOLm7/9                                   REm7
Then we played bones, and I'm yellin', "Domino"
FA11                                    SOLm7/9
Plus, nobody I know got killed in South Central L.A.
               REm7
Today was a good day...

FA11    SOLm7/9    REm7 FA11    SOLm7/9

REm7 FA11
       Left my homie's house paid (word)
       SOLm7/9                              REm7
Picked up a girl been tryna dig since the 12th grade
FA11                    SOLm7/9
 It's ironic, I had the brew, she had the chronic
                      REm7 FA11
The Lakers beat the Supersonics

Felt on the big fat fanny
SOLm7/9                               REm7
Pulled out the jammy and killed the punani
FA11
 And my jimmy runs deep, so deep
SOLm7/9                       REm7
 So deep put her butt to sleep
FA11
 Woke her up around one
               SOLm7/9                       REm7
She didn't hesitate to call Ice Cube the top gun
FA11
Drove her to the pad and I'm coastin'
             SOLm7/9
Took another sip of the potion, 
                     REm7 FA11
hit the three-wheel motion
                                    SOLm7/9
I was glad everything had worked out
                                      REm7
Dropped her butt off and then chirped out
FA11
 Today was like one of those fly dreams
SOLm7/9                                  REm7
Didn't even see a berry flashin' those high beams
FA11                           SOLm7/9
 No helicopter lookin' for the murder
                               REm7  FA11
Two in the morning, got the Fatburger
                                    SOLm7/9
Even saw the lights of the Goodyear Blimp
                              REm7
And it read "Ice Cube's a Pimp"
FA11
  Drunk as hell but no throwin' up
SOLm7/9                           REm7   FA11
Halfway home and my pager still blowin' up
                                    SOLm7/9
Today I didn't even have to use my AK
                        REm7
I gotta say it was a good day...

FA11     SOLm7/9    REm7 FA11     SOLm7/9

REm7 FA11

...Hold up, Pooh, stop this, man
I don't know what I'm thinkin' about
