Fuck Today
Lil' Wayne ft. Gudda Gudda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sittin' on my porch, sippin’ on Jim Beam
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 don’t 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 don’t 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 I’m feelin' fuck you

And fuck today, fuck today
Fuck everything gon be alright, fuck okay
'Cause I’m feelin' like I had about enough today
'Cause I’m feelin' like I had about enough today
I say fuck today, fuck today
Fuck everything gon be alright, fuck okay
'Cause I’m feelin' like I had about enough today
'Cause I’m feelin' like I had about enough today

Don’t 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 don’t care what they say
I’ma 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 trippin’, tryna get me for my money
Now she laughin' to the bank and ain’t a damn thing funny
My momma lights off and my daddy don’t call
And my nigga got killed, man, damn, I miss my dawg
The landlord buggin’ 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 I’m feelin' like I had about enough today
'Cause I’m feelin' like I had about enough today
I say fuck today, fuck today
Fuck everything gon be a'ight, fuck okay
'Cause I’m feelin' like I had about enough today
'Cause I’m feelin' like I had about enough today

Don’t you see that this whole world is my stage
And I must perform to the best of my abilities, yeah
Motherfuckers talking away, I don’t care what they say
I’ma 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
I’m the sickest virus on and offline
Imagine every line, you don’t wanna cross mine
Found a clock on the street, I’m makin' up for lost time
Third eye blind but it’s still fuck da bullshit
Knowin' what I got but more conscience of what I could get
Tired of the same shit, don’t know who to blame shit
And we knew a black President wouldn’t change shit
Money still a language, well ain’t nobody talkin’
They found my calender in the garbage

So fuck today, fuck today
Fuck everything gon be alright, fuck okay
'Cause I’m feelin' like I had about enough today
'Cause I’m feelin' like I had about enough today
I say fuck today, fuck today
Fuck everything gon be alright, fuck okay
'Cause I’m feelin' like I had about enough today
'Cause I’m feelin' like I had about enough today

Don’t 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 don’t give a fuck about it and I don’t give a shit about you
I don’t give a damn about them and I don’t 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, sippin’ 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

Overall Meaning

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.
