I woke up, no need to toke up or caffeinate
minds already moving at a faster rate, I'm wide awake
and ready for whatever the day might bring
i might sing some in the shower, bumping fight the power
public enemy, that will get the blood flowing
just a hint of the scent all the read heads be knowing
that too much of a good thing aint a good thing
exclamation point, all things in moderation
I towel down, drip dry, been fly since I
was born one winter morn until the day that I die
I'm feeling this high, natural, kind of magical
no matter that, lets bring it back to actual fact
I grab my back pack, snacks for the long haul, yes yall
on the ball, hit the door, proceed to make tracks
reach back and give a stretch, sunshine lights the way
paraphrase ice cube, i gotta say a lovely day
i rock with the rhythm right, hop on my pedal bike
sole to the metal, this day, its kinda like
a utopia, you know the kind of scene
that you hope for in winter, blue skies grass green
making inroads since the intro, this instro-mental
instrumental to my mental state, now is it fate?
i popped in this tape, heard its a lovely day
thought to myself, yeah theres gotta be a better way
just to get through the daily grind, look now, what will we find?
always to the future, never behind, i got a good mind
just to stand up and let my voice be heard...
with a few choice words
we're broadcasting live, rock, rap and jive
hop, skip and slide to the spot where we strive
just to see tomorrow, time ain't borrowed so I say
never take things for granted cause each days a lovely day
