[Verse] Sweatin' on a Summer day A scarf wrapped tight around my head In the fire hydrant children play Sister frying chicken in the kitchen No I'm not doin', I'm not doin' nothin' today And brother say somethin' bout a "40" on a summer afternoon And grandma say the Lord, he gonna make everything He gonna make it alright [Chorus] And it's a bright sunny ghetto day It's a bright sunny ghetto day Sometimes the sun washes all the troubles away On a bright sunny ghetto day [Post-Chorus] And I can hear the old men sing Tra la la, la la la, tra la la, la la la Tra la la means I love you [Verse] In the back room baby starts to scream I'm makin' kool-aid in the sink Girl don't you put pork in my greens Rent's late again so it seems Somethin' good, somethin' good's gonna come my way
And brother say somethin' bout a "40" on a summer afternoon And grandma say the Lord, gonna make everything He gonna make it alright [Chorus] And it's a bright sunny ghetto day It's a bright sunny ghetto day Sometimes the sun washes all the troubles away On a bright sunny ghetto day [Post-Chorus] And I can hear the old men sing Tra la la, la la la, tra la la, la la la Tra la la means I love you [Chorus] And it's a bright sunny ghetto day It's a bright sunny ghetto day Sometimes the sun washes all the troubles away On a bright sunny ghetto day [Post-Chorus] And I can hear the old men sing Tra la la, la la la, tra la la, la la la Tra la la means I love you [Outro x14] Ghetto day
