Celebrate ft. Talib Kweli Lil Wayne
Mack Maine Lyrics

Pop a bottle and celebrate
Let's open a bottle and rejoice

We made it to a new day, yeah
We have successfully reached a new day

Oh, I take a hit and just elevate
I inhale and rise above

'Cause today will be a good day
Because today will be a favorable day

I got my mind right, money right, ready for war
I have prepared myself mentally and financially for any battle

Workin' hard today for a better tomorrow
Putting in effort today to secure a brighter future

Hey, yeah, blow the horns on 'em
Hey, enthusiastic applause for them

The sun is out, it's a brand new day and it just dawned on 'em
The sun is shining, a fresh day has just begun

The smoke in here got 'em floatin' just like in salt water
The haze in this place has them feeling relaxed and carefree

And break is fast, we gotta cook it just like a short order
And the break is fleeting, so we need to seize the moment like a quick order

Don't feed the hens when the birds covered in cheetah print
Don't give attention to those who are trying to copy others

A jungle out there and the jail is the zoo that keep us in
The world is a dangerous place, and prison is like being confined in a zoo

Players in gators is crazy, we feel the need to rock 'em
Wearing expensive shoes is a status symbol that drives us crazy

Furs comin' in all different colors like PETA got 'em
We have fur coats in various colors, as if PETA provided them

Killin' yourself for a salary
Working excessively hard to earn a paycheck

Look ya line flatter than stomachs of the women that's runnin', watchin' them calories
Your waistline is slimmer than those of the women who are running and watching their calorie intake

Hope that we linkin', we smokin' and drinkin' casually
Hoping that we can come together and enjoy smoking and drinking in a relaxed manner

'Cause life without livin' ain't nothin' but a fallacy (come on)
Because a life without truly experiencing it is merely an illusion

Hey, I say who's that peekin' in my window?
Who is that secretly observing me?

Is that sunshine? Is that one time?
Is that a positive sign? Is that the police?

Let that sun shine through my livin' room
Allow the sunlight to illuminate my living space

Hospitality is what I'm givin' you
I am offering warm and welcoming hospitality

Harsh reality is what I've been through
I have experienced difficult and challenging situations

But I'm not alone, ask her and him too
But I am not the only one, you can ask her and him as well

And they shall tell ya, ain't nothin' better
And they will confirm that there is nothing superior

Than the smell of a new day
Than the scent of a fresh day

And I know the ocean runs dry and the sky gets dark
And I understand that even the seemingly impossible can happen

And ya don't see what He's tryin' to show ya
And you fail to notice what God is trying to reveal to you

And I know the wall may seem tall
And I realize that obstacles may appear insurmountable

But if we help each other I guarantee that we get over
But if we support one another, I promise we can overcome them

And once I'm over, I'll reach back for my brother
And once I overcome, I will extend my hand to help my brother as well

And pull him over as well
And assist him in overcoming his challenges too

Keep our heads high and our noses wide open
Maintain a positive attitude and remain open-minded

Hopin' for that new day smell
Anticipating the fresh aroma of a new day

Love live life (come on)
Embrace love and live your life fully

Yeah, homie, I been waitin' since I was sixteen
Yeah, my friend, I have been waiting since I was sixteen

To tell 'em what I'm 'bout to tell 'em so I need more than a sixteen
To share the message I'm about to deliver, I require more than a sixteen-bar verse

See I'm the only son of Mary and Joe
You see, I am the only son of Mary and Joe (referring to Jesus' parents)

So I gotta fulfill my purpose 'fore I'm buried, ya know
Therefore, I need to fulfill my divine purpose before I pass away, you know

My momma say she havin' visions of me bein' a missionary
My mother says she has visions of me becoming a missionary

And the hood lookin' at me as a walkin' visionary
And the community sees me as someone with foresight and inspiration

So I sit back and wonder will I ever have my time to shine
So I reflect and question if I will ever have a moment to truly excel

And die like Pac in his prime
And die in my prime like Tupac Shakur

Or will I go out like Len Bias and OD before the tryouts
Or will I meet a tragic fate like Len Bias, who overdosed before his basketball tryouts

No tell the reaper no buyout
I refuse to negotiate with the grim reaper for my life

I'm good, I pray for a head to protect ya
I'm fine, I pray for divine protection over you

And I gotta walk the streets with the heat as my protection
And I have to carry a gun as a means to protect myself

Still gotta watch my back, still watch my front home
I still need to be vigilant and aware of my surroundings

'Cause I seen a lot of niggas die with they gun on
Because I have witnessed many individuals lose their lives while still armed

So with that in mind, I just get higher
So keeping that in mind, I simply choose to get high

And pray to the higher Messiah, I'm no liar
And I pray to the supreme Messiah, I'm not deceiving anyone

And they say that puffin' the fire fucks with your memory
And they claim that smoking marijuana affects your memory

But I got a lot of stuff that I don't wan' remember, see
But I have many memories I prefer not to recall, you see

Like when my homie Ivin died
Like the time when my friend Ivin passed away

I like how I never seen a man cry 'til I seen Lance died
I find it interesting how I had never witnessed a man cry until I saw Lance's death

Never seen my pops cry 'til I seen my Grams died
Never saw my father cry until my grandmother passed away

And I'm here to tell him that I miss my Grams too
And I want to express to him that I also miss my grandmother

And I wish that I could hug her for mothers day too
And I wish I could embrace her on Mother's Day as well

And I feel the same way that you do
And I share the same sentiment as you

But we still gotta move on so she can just smile down on us
But we still need to continue living so she can smile upon us from heaven

And I don't want the Lord to ever frown down on us
And I don't want God to be disappointed in us

I know that they really got power in a gun
I am aware that guns possess significant power

But I also know that they got power in a tongue
But I also understand that words have power

So every time I speak, look I try to speak life
Therefore, every time I speak, I aim to bring positivity and encouragement

Y'all tweakin' for broads, I tweak life
While others obsess over women, I focus on living my life fully

They said I was 'posed to die as a fetus
They believed I wouldn't survive even before I was born

My momma said I bind that Devil in the name of Jesus
But my mother affirmed that I resist the Devil through the power of Jesus' name

So now I'm here just to talk to y'all
So now I am here to communicate with all of you

Come and stroll with me homie, let me walk wit' y'all
Join me and walk alongside me, my friend

Ten million ways to die so I chose
There are countless ways to die, but I have made a decision

To get my life right by the end of the road
To rectify my life before it reaches its conclusion

'Fore my body in a casket and I'm stiff and froze
Before my body is placed in a coffin, lifeless and frozen

'Fore I'm layin' in a morgue with a tag on my toes
Before I find myself lying in a morgue with an identification tag on my feet

I'm here to tell you take heed to the warnings
I am here to strongly advise you to pay attention to the warnings

School shootings, hurricanes, and global warming
Instances of shootings in educational institutions, destructive storms, and climate change

Open ya Bibles up with no hesitation
Read your Bibles without any doubt or delay

B.C. was the Genesis, this is Revelations
The period before Christ was the beginning, and this is now a time of revelation

So you better pick your destination
Therefore, choose wisely where you want to end up

Tomorrow ain't promised, better pick your destination
The future is uncertain, so you must choose your path carefully

Rest in peace B Spencer, rest in peace Beepsy
May B Spencer and Beepsy rest in peace

Shit could be worse so I'm feelin' like Weezy
The situation could be worse, so I am feeling optimistic like Lil Wayne

I wake up in the mornin', take a piss, and wash my hands
I start my day by relieving myself and practicing personal hygiene

Take a knee and thank the Man and leave my life in God's hands, yeah (come on)
Then I kneel down to express gratitude to God and entrust my life to Him
