(This song right here)
Ooh
Young Mula baby
That's right
Happy music, happy people
Happy people
Everything is alright
Everything is alright, yeah, come on
Pop a bottle and celebrate
We made it to a new day, yeah
Pop a bottle and celebrate
We done made it to a new day
Oh, I take a hit and just elevate
'Cause today will be a good day
I got my mind right, money right, ready for war
Workin' hard today for a better tomorrow
Hey, yeah, blow the horns on 'em
The sun is out, it's a brand new day and it just dawned on 'em
The smoke in here got 'em floatin' just like in salt water
And break is fast, we gotta cook it just like a short order
Don't feed the hens when the birds covered in cheetah print
A jungle out there and the jail is the zoo that keep us in
Players in gators is crazy, we feel the need to rock 'em
Furs comin' in all different colors like PETA got 'em
Killin' yourself for a salary
Look ya line flatter than stomachs of the women that's runnin', watchin' them calories
Hope that we linkin', we smokin' and drinkin' casually
'Cause life without livin' ain't nothin' but a fallacy (come on)
Pop a bottle and celebrate
We made it to a new day, yeah
Pop a bottle and celebrate
We done made it to a new day
Oh, I take a hit and just elevate
'Cause today will be a good day (come on)
I got my mind right, money right, ready for war
Workin' hard today for a better tomorrow
Hey, I say who's that peekin' in my window?
Is that sunshine? Is that one time?
Let that sun shine through my livin' room
Hospitality is what I'm givin' you
Harsh reality is what I've been through
But I'm not alone, ask her and him too
And they shall tell ya, ain't nothin' better
Than the smell of a new day
And I know the ocean runs dry and the sky gets dark
And ya don't see what He's tryin' to show ya
And I know the wall may seem tall
But if we help each other I guarantee that we get over
And once I'm over, I'll reach back for my brother
And pull him over as well
Keep our heads high and our noses wide open
Hopin' for that new day smell
Love live life (come on)
Pop a bottle and celebrate
We made it to a new day, yeah
Pop a bottle and celebrate
We done made it to a new day
Oh, I take a hit and just elevate
'Cause today will be a good day (come on)
I got my mind right, money right, ready for war
Workin' hard today for a better tomorrow
Yeah, homie, I been waitin' since I was sixteen
To tell 'em what I'm 'bout to tell 'em so I need more than a sixteen
See I'm the only son of Mary and Joe
So I gotta fulfill my purpose 'fore I'm buried, ya know
My momma say she havin' visions of me bein' a missionary
And the hood lookin' at me as a walkin' visionary
So I sit back and wonder will I ever have my time to shine
And die like Pac in his prime
Or will I go out like Len Bias and OD before the tryouts
No tell the reaper no buyout
I'm good, I pray for a head to protect ya
And I gotta walk the streets with the heat as my protection
Still gotta watch my back, still watch my front home
'Cause I seen a lot of niggas die with they gun on
So with that in mind, I just get higher
And pray to the higher Messiah, I'm no liar
And they say that puffin' the fire f*cks with your memory
But I got a lot of stuff that I don't wan' remember, see
Like when my homie Ivin died
I like how I never seen a man cry 'til I seen Lance died
Never seen my pops cry 'til I seen my Grams died
And I'm here to tell him that I miss my Grams too
And I wish that I could hug her for mothers day too
And I feel the same way that you do
But we still gotta move on so she can just smile down on us
And I don't want the Lord to ever frown down on us
I know that they really got power in a gun
But I also know that they got power in a tongue
So every time I speak, look I try to speak life
Y'all tweakin' for broads, I tweak life
They said I was 'posed to die as a fetus
My momma said I bind that Devil in the name of Jesus
So now I'm here just to talk to y'all
Come and stroll with me homie, let me walk wit' y'all
Ten million ways to die so I chose
To get my life right by the end of the road
'Fore my body in a casket and I'm stiff and froze
'Fore I'm layin' in a morgue with a tag on my toes
I'm here to tell you take heed to the warnings
School shootings, hurricanes, and global warming
Open ya Bibles up with no hesitation
B.C. was the Genesis, this is Revelations
So you better pick your destination
Tomorrow ain't promised, better pick your destination
Rest in peace B Spencer, rest in peace Beepsy
Shit could be worse so I'm feelin' like Weezy
I wake up in the mornin', take a piss, and wash my hands
Take a knee and thank the Man and leave my life in God's hands, yeah (come on)
Pop a bottle and celebrate
We made it to a new day, yeah
Pop a bottle and celebrate
We done made it to a new day
Oh, I take a hit and just elevate
'Cause today will be a good day
I got my mind right, money right, ready for war
Workin' hard today for a better tomorrow
Pop a bottle and celebrate
We made it to a new day, yeah
Pop a bottle and celebrate
We done made it to a new day
Oh, I take a hit and just elevate
'Cause today will be a good day
I got my mind right, money right, ready for war
Workin' hard today for a better tomorrow
Young Mula baby
