Oh Happy Day

You see I can be happy and you we can be happy
We can be happy oh happy day happy day
I'm elder Mac Brown from the old school
Trying to sound like the youngsters makes me look like a fool
I yank a little of this I yank a little of that
My lines didn't flow like a rad da tat tat
I know it's not my day I'm rolling out the way
You can't fade me don't try to play me
Jesus is the way oh happy day yeah

He taught me how the lost is lost and try to find
To watch fight and pray yeah it's a happy day fight and pray
And live rejoicing and live rejoicing sing it y'all
Rejoicing everyday every day
Cause I'm happy your happy we're happy every day

The Average you black man don't have a chance
But God when he's raised in the ghetto hello
But on another level I'm kin to the society
You lied to me that's why I turned to the hood for advice you see
I'm what you call the future among my peers shedding my tears
Because of the troubled times homies resting in peace
While I'm trying to live in it oh how I wish I had another day
May day may day Lord help me

Oh happy day I'm talking bout a happy day
Oh happy day when He washed my sins away
Oh happy day hew it's a happy day
Oh happy day I can't fight every night and day

I'm getting smiles and frowns from strangers cause they thing their in danger
By my dress code got me stereo typed as a gang banging thug
They think I'm concealing a weapon got me twisted
The only weapon that I conceal is my brain
Trying to maintain in this game called life
Think once think twice you'll be a goner
Don't be a fool what you goner do
Make a change for the better see things in a different perspective
Ask the Man to forgive all my sins wish upon a star for my glorious day yeah

Oh happy day when He washed my sins away yeah
Oh happy day hew it's a happy day
Oh happy day yeah
Oh happy day cause he washed my sins away

Oh happy day yeas it's a happy day
Oh happy day yah ha ha
Oh happy day get happy when I think about
Oh happy day cause He washed my sins away

Oh happy day I'm clean and I'm happy
Oh happy day I'm talking bout a happy day
Oh happy day yes it's a happy day
Oh happy day cause my sins been washed away

Oh happy day good God good God
Oh happy day whew it's a happy day

It's a I'm rapping, glocks popping
I'm pilling caps from my dogs and my locs
Tripping like they say in death valley
Over the blue and the red
But in southern Cali end up dead this ain't no joke
So why provoke a youngster struggling striving
Trying to survive on these streets
Things then changed from the past it's the present
Tomorrow will be the future don't be scared we need help
I'm not trying to shoot you

Oh happy day
Oh happy day
Oh happy day
Oh happy day

Oh happy day
Oh happy day
Oh happy day
Oh happy day
