Just waking up, and it’s time to go to Sac State.I don’t know, but today’s Steve Irwin great.No parking on the lawn, no prol’emCause Parking Structure III’s da’ flippin’ bomb.I ate at Togo’s, but didn’t pig outGot a few books from the ‘Brary wanna dig out.Hooked it up with Pynchon ‘fore I hit the do’Study not to be another Michael Vo.I gotta go cause I got me a full loadAnd if I cut my class, my grades gonna get ownedHad to loan out my mad skillsScannin’ friends’ essays – not a single misspell.And everything’s hella chill.I turned my column in, and the whole piece straight kills.Called up the homies back from Jenkins HallKen, Joe, Mark, LJ, Chieng and Zhuo.Test us at the Hive and we’re trouble.Eat tequila, drink tacos, mess you up in football.They my brothers; like Alex, Nick and Dave.I can’t believe, today was a good day.

Stood in the line and got the mocha,Didn’t even get no static from BaristasCause just yesterday Heather out-geeked meTil I told her “I roll hard?d20s.”Can’t manage, couldn’t even step with an epic level sageCause I’m doin’ massive damage.”Handed me the drink, then I’m watchin’ out as UTAPSWrites tickets up the ass.Scribble down, scribble down, scribble down, scribble;People in the lot are squabblin,’ and when they quibble,I go rubbing, rubbin’ the chalk clean, rubbin’ the chalk cleanRubbed out, ain’t paying out twenty-fo’I give nuff to GonzoTwo-oh-one-oh, and Destination Some Time AgoIt’s not like I know peeps with too many bills they can’t pay?Today was a good day.

Home with wallet unscathedPicked up a class been trying to add since Welcome Day?It’s ironic, I took GEs and hydroponicsA Res Hall rat’s “Hooked on Phonics.”Or felt on the big fat PhillyPuffed on the ciggy, and killed the whole dillyBut my asthma’s deep, so deep, so deepCoughed up lungs for weeks?At the ContinuumWe didn’t hesitate to pound three fifths of bourbon.Enough of the past, reminitionsPassing through these trips of cognition, comes with graduationI would say everything’s worked out(‘Cept the job thing, hasn’t panned out)Today was like one of those daydreamsDidn’t even see a student org out rallyingNo bad instructors finding ways to bore meTwo in the morning, wrote a short storyEven saw the front of The State HornetAnd it read, “Frank Dawg’s a Pimp.”Drunk as Hell – I’m just playin’ y’allOn the phone with my mom, gotta’ show some loveA piece of paper won’t replace my blood today I got to say, it’s been a good run at Sac State.
