Young Money Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ain't had to kill nobody
Today was a good day
I ain't had to kill nobody
I ain't had to kill nobody
I ain't had to kill nobody
One hitter, only hit bad bitches that's thriller
Home king, hot king, YN last king
Nigga sending out shouts, I'mma need a Jordan ring
Fuck you mean this is really mean
Gotti after life
Future looking bright, bitches crack tongue on the pipe
I don't wanna see you twerk, we about that fuck life
Got a Asian ho, pussy go deep, Jerry Rice
I'm a dope nigga, give a D, dope dealer
Don't play with the grave digger, that's RZA
Ask my bitch, she tell you ain't no nigga
Like the one I got, dick game gorilla
Bag in my bag like a Philly nigga clip
Came extended grip, armor's with the ruga, easy ruthless
Nigga with a attitude, my enemies is 2 shits
Don't give 2 shits but you gon make a nigga pull it
But shit
Today was a good day
I ain't had to kill nobody
I ain't had to kill nobody
Shoot you in yo memory bank, memorize it
Today was a good day
'Cause I ain't had to kill nobody
No I ain't had to kill nobody
But I shoot you in yo memory bank, memorize it
Duct tape, duct tape
Cover his mouth with duct tape
Check a nigga like a motherfuckin update
Where the safe nigga point to it
I catch a case, I wanna know who threw it
And my main bitches speak fluent
I keep the feds busy
I got the bread, never fed pigeons
Even though I get pissed off I shit on y'all
We gon sip champagne out your skull
I can't stand these niggas, I'm bout to fall
Got my girl her shoes with the spikes, volleyball
Fuck with Holygrove, it's gon be a holocaust
Hoes see me shinin, now they actin like a moth
YMCM bizzy, why I'm always busy
I done got too big headed for the crown to fit me
But I got my niggas with me and we got our skateboards
TTYL, thank thank You Lord
Amen, cuz uh
Today was a good day
I ain't had to kill nobody
I ain't had to kill nobody
Shoot you in yo memory bank, memorize it
Shoot you in yo memory bank, memorize it
Shoot you in yo memory bank, memorize it
Today was a good day
'Cause I ain't had to kill nobody
My dawg hit me yesterday, got 15 keys
And he gon let em all go for 15 G's
She said she wanna work it I look up like bitch please
And I show that ho up it like you ain't tryna flip these
Yea I'm back nigga
Sellin' all these bricks
And if my homies tell you one you better tell nobody shit

Rockin' all these jewels and I be ridin' through my hood like I ain't got nothing to lose
You thinking because I rap I won't go buy them bricks
Give em to my dawg and let him do all kind of shit
Like take a point out, then put a point in
I fuck yo main ho and all my homies doin' that shit
I'm getting money, must be the Iluminati
They think I signed up cause I just bought a new Ferrari
But they said they want my mind, soul and my body
And I looked at that nigga crazy and then I shot him(BAH)
Today was a good day
I ain't had to kill nobody
I ain't had to kill nobody
But I shoot you in yo memory bank, memorize it
Shoot you in yo memory bank, memorize it
Shoot you in yo memory bank, memorize it
Today was a good day
I ain't had to kill nobody
The first thing that is notable about the Young Money's song "Good Day" is that despite the repetitive refrain of "I ain't had to kill nobody," the song is not actually about killing or violence. Instead, the song seems to be about the celebratory feeling that can arise from success and good fortune. The lyrics describe several characters who are enjoying the benefits of their hard work and are able to relax and revel in their achievements. The lines "Today was a good day" and "Shoot you in yo memory bank, memorize it" suggest that the characters are taking in the good moments and making them into lasting memories.
There are many different themes present in "Good Day," including materialism, power, and status. Throughout the song, the characters reference their wealth, possessions, and ability to control others. Lyrics like "Home king, hot king, YN last king" and "I'm getting money, must be the Illuminati" suggest that success is tied to dominance and influence.
