Artist: The Tongue Album: Redux: The Mixtape Song: Today was a Good Day (Ice Cube Remix) Typed by: sensative_new_age_guy@hotmail.com Summertime huh... summer breeze Think back to the summer days [Verse 1] Aiyyo, just waking up in the morning gotta thank god I dunno, but today seems kinda odd Went from the bed to the kitchen to fix some food Flicked on the radio and they was pumping Ice Cube Well alright yo, that shit sounds nice So I poured myself a grinspoon, that's Jameson on ice Swallowed it down, then I pick up the phone d-d-d-ial my lady friend and she wasn't alone You see her and two friends were 'bout to hit the beach They said 'bring your posse and your weed, capiche' The freaks were all ready so say no more Got my fellas in the back, I put the pedal to the floor And we sawed through the city they call S.Y.D. A little drunk as we drove by the RBT A little funk for your Friday, three day weekend We smoking on the darkside, trippin in the deep end And ah, these friends of mine are laughing These girls we met between the flags had lifeguards gasping G-strings and gin left me with nothing to say Except for god damn - today's been a good day [Verse 2] We put our skin cells through trauma and smoked them spliffs Made out in the shade and surfed waves til six It was just another day to take it back to the 60's The sex and the drugs, true love and whisky Later on we hit the clubs and spin it like a frisbee I was frisky for a microphone and reppin for my city Fame had our names on the door at the jam an old school house party south of Petersham Many crews were in attendance from Bondi to Blacktown And not the slightest bit attention A real hub up in the smoker's section Ladies in the back giving yoga lessons What was I to do but bust a move to the beat Put my Nike Airs to work and dirty up my sneaks We cut the rug like carpenters til stars fell our way Kept at tone with my girl and we pashed all the way Ahh yes, you know what they say - today was a good day Then we go home right... [Verse 3] So we hit it, I gripped it Body parts twisted, smacked it, attacked it Found a new position Kept giving her encores, I insisted Looking back, it's amazing we weren't injured The silhouette takes all the breath out my lungs What I did with her drained all the strength from my tongue I could barely say a word by the time that the phone rang (Where you at brother?) 'Just chilling at home mate' (Ain't you heard the news?) 'Nah I've been doing my own thing' (Well this just in homie, Howard has lost it 'Been sung like a rock, got knocked off his spot We headed down to the park to let champaigne pop And yo, Felix said it's going off in the Cross And there's people dancing in the streets, meet us there at 4 o'clock) He hung up, I stared at sky until sun up Thinking about all the things that I would do that summer The world is an oyster with a spoon lying next to it If life is hard then this must be the best of it I can't complain so I'll just pray for another moment like this - today was a good day
