Like Today

[Sample]
In tomorrow, I see no promise
And yesterday was like today

Woke up: got up near eleven o'clock
Buck naked except I was wearin' my socks
And that's cool 'cuase, most the time, this floor is cold
Stand up and stretch, look around this mess
My place has been a cage since she left me (she left me)
Make my way to the kitchen, start the coffee (the coffee)
Then dip to the bathroom, begin the triple-s
Wash the previous evening off me
Now out the shower, get dry, shove a q-tip in my ear
Well, what do we have here?
It appears as if a piece of me has got motivation
Ain't nothin' wrong with a little morning masturbation
Fresh, dressed like fifty cents (uh-huh)
Clean and awake now I'm ready to commence (uh-huh)
Spark up the caffeine and nicotine binge (uh-huh)
And that's pretty much the pattern of how the day begins
Then I wait for an hour, maybe half hour more
Then I put on my shoes and grab my key for the door
Put my headphones on for this world I ignore
Trek down the street towards the record store (record store)
Hey bro, how you doin'? Anything new today?
Naw, man, how you been? It's the same old same again
Well then, I'll be gone friend, I'll see you around (peace)
Then I'm out; destination- uptown (uptown)
In the summertime, the women wear a lot of skin
And, if I sit in one spot, I can take 'em all in
Sometimes, I even talk, see if I can make one grin
And if not yo, it's cool,
I ain't gonna take it personal, it's cool [it's a'ight, it's a'ight]
From Anne Landers, to Ani DiFranco to Orphan Annie
I love all women (all women), but most of 'em just can't stand me
I don't know, maybe it's my hair or my clothes
Or my she noticed that you was diggin' in yo nose
Either way, it's ok, I wasn't tryin' to get laid
I just wanted to say, "I hope you have a great day"
And she stopped with a smile that began to blush
Here, take my number, call me up, I come over and make you lunch
And got up and headed down towards the book store (the book store)
To check the titles that my man Micheal's got me lookin' for
My visit was short 'cause I just couldn't feel
That cat behind the counter actin' like I'm here to steal (what?)
So I dip back out into a cloud of tattoos
Pierced body parts and colorful hairdos
And I question: did Babylon resemble this?
Are we gettin' any closer to the end of the list?
A sensuous kiss placed on apocalypse
We teach 'em how to make a fist but not to resist
And I'm wonderin': how'd we find this position?
People are people and I still love them especially the women (uh-huh)
Onwards, to the coffee shop maybe muddies
for a refill and some sociological studies
See the junkies while they coexist with the sobers
All the bugging of eyeballs, the shrugging of shoulders
And that's when I saw her, sippin' on water
I wanna kiss her mom just for having this daughter
Excuse, me miss, I don't mean to come across strong
But I've been waiting a while and you've been takin' too long
And she smiled and I began to blush
She asked if I'd like to go to the bathroom and make some love
And I got visions of us, and the morning gettin' steamed
And that's the very moment I woke up from the dream
Woke up: got up near eleven o'clock
Buck naked except I was wearin' my socks
And that's cool 'cuase, most the time, this floor is cold
Stand up and stretch and look for my soul
