Just another day
Just another day
Just another day
Just another day
Wake up early in the mornin' man
Runnin' kinda' late I gotta' catch my plane
Kinda' glad I woke up so I can't complain
I really need a break from this paper chase
But my girl ain't gonna' wait for the diamond ring
My son ain't got to wait for no proper clothes
So I'm gone take a trip and do a couple of shows
So many different things be runnin' through my head
It's mandatory that I keep my family fed
On come the stompin' boots and I'm out there again
Seems like this crazy pace is never gonna' end.
[Chorus]
I'm on a mission man, I'm fired up
They let me taste it man
And now I'm hooked
Ain't nobody standin' on the wall
I bust the way I bust because the feel it y'all
People got opinions all about me y'all
Got a lot of girls so they call me dogg
Constantly around me is friends and foes
Say the wrong thing bet I bust your nose
I gotta' give give it up to niggaroes
Even thought at times we fuck the same hoes
All the other niggas I'ma let you know
Ain't no player hatin' go for what you know
And if you see a girl that I'd like to lay
Feel free to send her my way
[Chorus]
If I call you baby would you swing my way tonight
I got somethin' for you that I'm sure you're gonna like.
If I call you baby would you swing my way tonight
I got somethin' for you that I'm sure you're gonna like.
And we can do it all night
I bet I hit it just right
[Chorus]

Just another day
Another typical day of life
Wake up early in the mornin' man
Getting up early in the morning
Runnin' kinda' late I gotta' catch my plane
In a hurry to catch a flight
Feelin' kinda' funny from the weed and things
A bit high from smoking weed
Kinda' glad I woke up so I can't complain
Happy to be alive and not complaining
I really need a break from this paper chase
Tired of chasing money
But my girl ain't gonna' wait for the diamond ring
Girlfriend wants a diamond ring now
My son ain't got to wait for no proper clothes
Son needs clothes now and cannot wait
So I'm gone take a trip and do a couple of shows
Going on tour to make money for family
So many different things be runnin' through my head
Thinking about lots of different things
It's mandatory that I keep my family fed
Must provide for my family
On come the stompin' boots and I'm out there again
Back on the road again
Seems like this crazy pace is never gonna' end.
The fast-paced lifestyle will never end
I'm on a mission man, I'm fired up
Motivated and focused on success
They let me taste it man, and now I'm hooked
Got a taste of success and now addicted
Ain't nobody standin' on the wall
Everyone is dancing and enjoying themselves
I bust the way I bust because the feel it y'all
Performing the way I do because people enjoy it
People got opinions all about me y'all
People have opinions about me
Got a lot of girls so they call me dogg
Have many female admirers and nicknamed 'dogg'
Constantly around me is friends and foes
Always surrounded by friends and enemies
Say the wrong thing bet I bust your nose
Threatening anyone who speaks ill of me
I gotta' give give it up to niggaroes
Respect for fellow black men
Even thought at times we fuck the same hoes
Even though we sometimes date the same women
All the other niggas I'ma let you know
Informing everyone else
Ain't no player hatin' go for what you know
No hating on others playing the game
And if you see a girl that I'd like to lay
If you see a girl I want to sleep with
Feel free to send her my way
You can introduce her to me
If I call you baby would you swing my way tonight
Asking someone if they want to come over for sex
I got somethin' for you that I'm sure you're gonna like.
Promising pleasure
And we can do it all night
Can have sex all night
I bet I hit it just right
Confidence in sexual abilities
