    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 fucks 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
