Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Read the newspaper man, guess what I seen
Shit bad enough to make a grown man scream
And then I woke up, it's another bad dream
I donβt really wanna talk about it
'Cause everytime I talk about it, I go off about it
And everytime I get like that, I wanna start somebody
This world really got you thinkin' that you on somebody
So what, you got a gun, I donβt give a fuck about it
I would take every bullet and every buck up out it
So motherfucker cock it back and please buck away
'Cause right now Iβm feelin' fuck you
And fuck today, fuck today
Fuck everything gon be alright, fuck okay
'Cause Iβm feelin' like I had about enough today
'Cause Iβm feelin' like I had about enough today
I say fuck today, fuck today
Fuck everything gon be alright, fuck okay
'Cause Iβm feelin' like I had about enough today
'Cause Iβm feelin' like I had about enough today
Donβt you see that this whole world is my stage
And I must perform to the best of my abilities, yeah
Motherfuckers talking away but we donβt care what they say
Iβma take this day by day
Man, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this mornin'
And my tank on E, plus the gas price is soarin'
Baby momma trippinβ, tryna get me for my money
Now she laughin' to the bank and ainβt a damn thing funny
My momma lights off and my daddy donβt call
And my nigga got killed, man, damn, I miss my dawg
The landlord bugginβ and the rent keep comin'
And the heater broke, I gotta warm my house with the oven
Everytime I think about it, man it get depressin'
And the stock market down, the whole country in recession
Plus the cops got a warrant out, they tryin' to arrest me
Man this whole day startin' to stress me nigga
So fuck today, fuck today
Fuck everything gon be a'ight, fuck okay
'Cause Iβm feelin' like I had about enough today
'Cause Iβm feelin' like I had about enough today
I say fuck today, fuck today
Fuck everything gon be a'ight, fuck okay
'Cause Iβm feelin' like I had about enough today
'Cause Iβm feelin' like I had about enough today
Donβt you see that this whole world is my stage
And I must perform to the best of my abilities, yeah
Motherfuckers talking away, I donβt care what they say
Iβma take this shit day by day
Okay, these are the days, the days of our lives
Where do you have a calender because I lost mine
Uh, I lost mine, uh, I lost mine
Iβm the sickest virus on and offline
Imagine every line, you donβt wanna cross mine
Found a clock on the street, Iβm makin' up for lost time
Third eye blind but itβs still fuck da bullshit
Knowin' what I got but more conscience of what I could get
Tired of the same shit, donβt know who to blame shit
And we knew a black President wouldnβt change shit
Money still a language, well ainβt nobody talkinβ
They found my calender in the garbage
So fuck today, fuck today
Fuck everything gon be alright, fuck okay
'Cause Iβm feelin' like I had about enough today
'Cause Iβm feelin' like I had about enough today
I say fuck today, fuck today
Fuck everything gon be alright, fuck okay
'Cause Iβm feelin' like I had about enough today
'Cause Iβm feelin' like I had about enough today
Donβt you see that this whole world is my stage
And I must perform to the best of my abilities, yeah
Motherfuckers talkin' that shit, we gon have to see what I did
'Cause I donβt give a fuck about it and I donβt give a shit about you
I donβt give a damn about them and I donβt give a shit about you
Motherfuck you, motherfuck me
And fuck today, fuck today
Fuck everything gon be alright, fuck okay
Fuck everything gon be alright, fuck okay
Fuck everything gon be alright, fuck okay
Hey fuck today, hey fuck today
Hey fuck today, hey fuck today
Fuck everything gon be alright, fuck okay
Fuck everything gon be alright
Sitting on my porch, sippinβ on Jim Bean
Read the newspaper man, guess what I seen
Shit bad enough to make a grown man scream
And then I woke up, it's another bad dream
In "Fuck Today," Lil Wayne and Gudda Gudda express feelings of frustration, dissatisfaction, and despair with the state of the world and their own lives. They use vivid imagery to describe the sources of their distress, such as newspaper headlines, relationship problems, financial struggles, and the loss of a friend. They also acknowledge the futility of violence and materialism in the face of larger social and economic issues.
The chorus of the song serves as a cathartic release, where both rappers declare their defiance and unwillingness to accept the status quo. They reject the notion that everything will be alright, and instead proclaim their desire to live life on their own terms, one day at a time. They assert that they are the masters of their own fate, despite the challenges and setbacks they encounter.

Found a clock on the street, Iβm makin' up for lost time
Feeling like it's never too late to start over and make up for lost opportunities
Third eye blind but itβs still fuck da bullshit
Being aware of the world's problems but wanting to reject them and not participate in them

They found my calender in the garbage

Challenging those who talk about you to see what you have accomplished
'Cause I donβt give a fuck about it and I donβt give a shit about you

Feeling the pressure to always do one's best
Motherfuckers talking away but we donβt care what they say
Ignoring the opinions of others and doing what one wants
Iβma take this day by day
Taking life one day at a time and coping with the present moment
