《It was a good day》是Ice Cube演唱的一首歌曲，收录在1992年11月17日《The Predator》专辑中。
创作背景
作为
美国洛杉矶著名
说唱组合N.W.A的核心成员之一，Ice Cube也是该组合中最早宣布单飞而谋求个人发展的成员。在离开N.W.A组合之后，Ice Cube逐渐成长为
美国Hip-Hop音乐界最优秀同时也是最具争议的歌手之一。Ice Cube在他个人发展之后的专辑中表现出了更为尖锐的政治和社会观点，这也使得他颇为引人注目的前两张个人专辑《AmeriKKKa??s Most Wanted》和《Death Certificate》毁誉参半。后来，Ice Cube开始和Cypress Hill等后辈
说唱乐团合作，其本人的影响力虽略有下降，但Ice Cube在整个
美国说唱界的地位却从未改变。在上世纪90年代，Ice Cube一直都是最耀眼的说唱歌手之一。与众多家境贫寒，从小便浪迹街头的说唱歌手相比，Ice Cube的家境算是比较好的了。原名O??Shea Jackson的Ice Cube从小生活在洛杉矶的中南部，父母都在
加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）工作，而少年时期的Ice Cube也一直都是个好孩子。到了上中学的时候，Ice Cube才开始创作Rap，而他在这个时期创作的歌曲包括了与搭档 Sir Jinx合作写出的《Boyz-n-the Hood》。随着创作水平的不断提高，由Ice Cube领衔的二人
说唱组合“CIA”开始在
Dr.Dre举办的排队上演出。很快，Ice Cube就通过Dr.Dre结识了当时还在HBO组合的
Eazy-E。随后，Eazy-E决定离开HBO。事实上，在这个时候，Eazy-E，Dr.Dre和Ice Cube三人已经构成了N.W.A组合的雏形。1987年，Ice Cube前往菲尼克斯学习建筑。1988年，在拿到了一年制的学位之后，Ice Cube重新回到了洛杉矶。而Ice Cube的这次回归正是时候，因为他正好赶上了N.W.A组合首张专辑《Straight Outta Compton》的录制。最终，《Straight Outta Compton》在1988年末发行并成为1989年
美国地下说唱圈中的热门专辑。专辑歌词中的极端内容得到了各界的关注，其中最引人注目的是
美国联邦调查局（FBI）对本张专辑的关注。由于Ice Cube和N.W.A的经纪人有着很严重的分歧，因此他在1989年末的时候选择了离队。
歌曲歌词
Just waking up in the morning gotta thank god
I don't know but today seems kinda odd
No barking from the dogs, no smog
And momma cooked a breakfast with no hog
I got my grub on, but didn't pig out
Finally got a call from a girl wanna dig out
Hooked it up on later as i hit the do'
Thinking will i live, another twenty-fo'
I gotta go cause i got me a drop top
And if i hit the switch, i can make the ass drop
Had to stop at a red light
Looking in my mirror not a jacker in sight
And everything is alright
I got a beep from kim and she can fuck all night
Called up the homies and i'm askin y'all
Which court, are y'all playin basketball?
Get me on the court and i'm trouble
Last week fucked around and got a triple double
Freaking brothers everyway like m.j.
I can't believe, today was a good day
Drove to the pad and hit the showers
Didn't even get no static from the cowards
Cause just yesterday them fools tried to blast me
Saw the police and they rolled right past me
No flexin, didn't even look in a niggaz direction
As i ran the intersection
Went to dog's house, they was watchin yo! mtv
raps
What's the haps on the c
raps
Shake em up, shake em up, shake em up, shake em
Roll em in a circle of niggaz and watch me break em
With the seven, seven-eleven, seven-eleven
Seven even back do lil'joe
I picked up the cash flow
Then we played bones, and i'm yellin domino
Plus nobody i know got killed in south central l.a.
Today was a good day
Left my niggaz house paid
Picked up a girl been tryin to fuck since the twelve grade
It's ironic, i had the brew she had the chronic
The lakers beat the supersonics
I felt on the big fat fanny
Pulled out the jammy, and killed the punanny
And my dick runs deep so deep so deep
Put her ass to sleep
Woke her up around one
She didn't hesitate, to call ice cube the top gun
Drove her to the pad and i'm coasting
Took another sip of the potion hit the three-wheel motion
I was glad everything had worked out
Dropped her ass off, then i chirped out
Today was like one of those fly dreams
Didn't even see a berry flashing those high beams
No helicopter looking for a murder
Two in the morning got the fat burger
Even saw the lights of the goodyear blimp
And it read
ice cube's a pimp
Drunk as hell but no throwing up
Half way home and my pager still blowing up
Today i didn't even have to use my a.k.
I got to say it was a good day.
Hey wait, wait a minute fool
Stop the shit
What the fuck am i thinking about?
