[Intro: Guvna B's family, Teni Tinks]
Happy Birthday to you
DJ, drop that riddim
(These are the days
We prayed for)
[Verse 1: Guvna B]
Jeeze
Head to the sky at least
Gotta give thanks way too much peace
When I two step to the beat, that feels sweet
Way too blessed, that's me
Back then things got messy
Way too stressy
Now good vibes at the ready
Tell a man grab a little bevvy'
Shout out Femi my joy
They ain't taking any
[Chorus: Teni Tinks]
These are the days
We prayed for
The sun still shines on me
These are the days
We prayed for
The sun still shines on me
[Verse 2: Guvna B]
We raise a toast like it's Mardi Gras
Hum a tune like "Lah-di-da-di-dah-dah"
And I might get the party started
'Cause we never thought we'd come this far, nah-nah-nah
B-blood, sweat, tears and you gotta know
And I had those fears
For years and years
But God answers prayers, so now I gotta tell a man, "Cheers!"
[Chorus: Teni Tinks, Guvna B]
These are the days
We prayed for
The sun still shines on me
These are the days
We prayed for
The sun still shines on me
Break it down, like:
[Instrumental: Ezra Collective]
[Verse 3: Guvna B]
An' I'm like 6am, wake up, change Pampers
Son wants food, so babe says standard
Looking at them two, I can't handle it
I jumped in, took a pic, front camera
8am put the kettle on, sly one
One teabag, two sugars for the wife and
Caffetierve with Columbian beans
That's jus' something for me and it's like
[Chorus: Teni Tinks, Guvna B, Both]
These are the days (Gee!)
We prayed for
The sun still shines on me
These are the days
We prayed for
The sun still shines on me
[Outro]
Oh, oh oh
(We prayed for
These are the days
We prayed for)
Yeah, safe, thank you!
