Talib Kweli, Z-Trip, Mack Maine, Lil Wayne - Celebrate lyrics

Ooowww! Young Moolah baby
Happy music, happy people happy people
Everything is alright everything is alright

Pop a bottle and celebrate
We made it to a new day
Pop a bottle and celebrate
We done made it to a new day
Oh I take a hit and just elevate
Cause today will be a good day
I got my mind right, money right
Ready for war
Workin' hard today for a better tomorrow

Hey! - blow the horns on 'em the sun is out
It's a brand new day and
It just dawned on 'em
The smoke in here got 'em floating
Just like in salt water and break is fast
We gotta cook it just like a short order
Don't feed dem hens when the
Birds covered in cheetah print
A jungle out there and the jail is
The zoo that keep us in
Players in gators is crazy
We feel the need to rock 'em
Furs coming in all different colors
Like PETA got 'em
Killing yourself for a salary
Look ya line flatter than stomachs
Of the women that's running
Watching them calories hope that we linking
We smoking and drinking casually
Cause life without living ain't
Nothing but a fallacy

Pop a bottle and celebrate
We made it to a new day
Pop a bottle and celebrate
We done made it to a new day
Oh I take a hit and just elevate
Cause today will be a good day
I got my mind right, money right
Ready for war
Workin' hard today for a better tomorrow

Say, who's that peekin' in my window?
Is that sunshine? Is that one time?
Let that sun shine through my living room
Hospitality is what I'm giving you
Harsh reality is what I've been through
But I'm not alone, ask her and him too
And they shall tell ya, ain't nothin' better
Than the smell of a new day
I know the ocean runs dry
And the sky gets dark
And ya don't see what He's trying to show ya
And I know the wall may seem tall
But if we help each other
I guarantee we get over and once I'm over
I'll reach back for my brother
And pull him over as well
Keep our heads high and our noses wide open
Hopin' for that new day smell love live life
Pop a bottle and celebrate
We made it to a new day
Pop a bottle and celebrate
We done made it to a new day
Oh I take a hit and just elevate
Cause today will be a good day
I got my mind right, money right
Ready for war
Workin' hard today for a better tomorrow

Yea homie, I been waiting since I was 16
To tell 'em what I'm 'bout to tell 'em
So I need more than a 16
See I'm the only son of Mary and Joe
So I gotta fulfill my
Purpose 'fore I'm buried, ya know
My momma say she having visions
Of me being a missionary
And the hood looking at me
As a walking visionary
So I sit back and wonder will I
Ever have my time to shine
And die like Pac in his prime
Or will I go out like Len
Bias and OD before the tryouts
No tell the reaper no buyout
I'm good, I pray for a head to protect ya
And I gotta walk the streets with
The heat as my protection
Still gotta watch my back
Still watch my front home
Cause I seen a lot of niggas
Die with they gun on
So with that in mind, I just get higher
And pray to the higher Messiah, I'm no liar
And they say that puffing the
Fire fucks with your memory
But I got a lot of stuff
That I don't wan' remember see
Like when my homie ivin died
I like how I never seen a man
Cry 'til I seen Lance died
Never seen my pops cry 'til
I seen my Grams died
And I'm here to tell him that
I miss my Grams too and I wish I could hug
Her for mothers day too
And I feel the same way that you do
But we gotta still move on so she
Can just smile down on us
And I don't want the Lord to
Ever frown down on us
I know that they really got power in a gun
But I also know that they
Got power in a tongue so every time I speak
Look I try to speak life
Y'all tweaking for broads, I tweak life
They said I was s'posed to die as a fetus
My momma said I bind that Devil
In the name of Jesus
So now I'm here just to talk to y'all
Come and stroll with me homie
Let me walk wit' y'all
Ten million ways to die so I chose
To get my life right by the end of the road
'Fore my body in a casket
And I'm stiff and froze
'Fore I'm laying in a morgue with
A tag on my toes i'm here to tell you take
Heed to the warnings
School shootings, hurricanes
And global warming
Open ya Bibles up with no hesitation
BC was the Genesis, this is Revelations
So you better pick your destination
Tomorrow ain't promised
Better pick your destination
Rest in peace B Spencer, rest in peace Pimp C
Shit could be worse so I'm feeling like Weezy
I wake up in the morning, take a piss
And wash my hands
Take a knee and thank the Man and
Leave my life in God's hands, yea!
Pop a bottle and celebrate
We made it to a new day
Pop a bottle and celebrate
We done made it to a new day
Oh I take a hit and just elevate
Cause today will be a good day
I got my mind right, money right
Ready for war
Workin' hard today for a better tomorrow
