[Intro]
I hear it's supposed to be like 85 and shit, no clouds, sunny... I'm not going to work. Yeah, I'm 'boutta call my manager. Watch this, watch this...
[Verse]
Yo, I woke up knowin' today was special to me
Especially when I called in, who else would it be? (Hello?)
Blah blah
I'm not comin' in I'm kinda woozy (Huh?)
Let me explain, last night me and the wife had sushi (Oh.)
Had it for the first time, found out I'm allergic
My cheeks are all swollen and my tongue is as purple as green
I'm burpin' and sneezin' and peein' so I can't come in
(Nah, just stay where you are!)
Aight peace, see you tomorrow
I'll be there on time
If you think I'm comin' in today you're outta your mind
I got cheese, crackers, grapes and a bottle of wine
Sit back and recline with a lady of mine
[Chorus] x2
Relax today, worry tomorrow
Ease back, live it up
That's the motto!
(Instead let me tell you what I'm gonna do)
[Verse 2]
Yo, I didn't go to work today
Yo, I didn't go to school today
Yo, I'm actin' like a fool today
I don't care what you say
Yo, I should'a did this yesterday-- everyday
Technical difficult, malt liquor soak
Smoked just enough nickel, pumped to miss the bus
Simple stuff, yo I'm late for work
Really don't give a uh, my boss a jerk
Maybe today I'll call him up, draw his bluff
Not comin' in, wassup? Oh yeah
Skip the suit and the ties and the buttoned-up shirts
9-5 end job and underminin' my worth
I can't find myself if I ain't got time for self
My music and my art is first
(Remind yourself!)
Then I go and save the Earth
Come back, fill a page with a verse
Take it out, go away, it worse [?]
(So whatchu gonna do?)
Stay home and play in the dirt
[Chorus] x2
Relax today, worry tomorrow
Ease back, live it up
That's the motto!
(Instead let me tell you what I'm gonna do)
[Verse 3]
Every morning, I wake up
Don't wanna face stuff
Mad at my maker, committed to my pay-stub
Forty-hour week? My mind's made up
(I'm not goin' to work)
Insight! Yo, I'mma have to pick him up
9:30?! I should have been at work
I didn't go to sleep early
I jumped outta bed and found a shirt that wasn't dirty
And some mismatched socks
Wait a minute, where's my keys?
The commute is a forty-minute journey (It's your boss)
I took the phone cause he said that he heard me
Last night I had a burglary
I have laryngitis, and, uh, Raheem said he would work for me
Uh, anyway I quit, make today my last day
I can't stand the work, I don't like the pay
Bills up to here (I still don't care...)
Tell him to wait in line until I find a career
Today I'm gonna chill, sit in the shade
On a lounge chair, cool sippin' lemonade
[Chorus] x2
Relax today, worry tomorrow
Ease back, live it up
That's the motto
(Instead let me tell you what I'm gonna do)
[Outro]
No matter what, the bills are gonna come. There's two things you're gonna always have: taxes and bills. The bills are always gonna be there. Michael Jackson gets bills
It's one of those days where you don't even have to have a plan. It's still- it's just better than work. It's better than working!
