Lyrics

Yo Ahhhh God damn Another day Yo, anyway Early one morning I woke up yawning Lost in the daze, a maze of brainstorming Deja vu, a scene from a wet dream The birds, the trees, some beam, and then I heard a scream And then a slap, boom bap Oh yeah I know the flavor I expect domestic violence from my neighbors The same routine what I mean no damn good Sacrifice a beat on his wife to prove his manhood Anyway, another day I know it doesn’t matter Turn on my lights, get hyped, and watch the roaches scattеr Running, ducking, jumping so I don’t hit ‘em A disgrace, a waste of timе tryna kill ‘em Disgusted, busted, a shower for a nice cleaning It’s out of order don’t know it’s working but the water’s freezing I want to break, scream and yell but who I tell Times are worse, I curse I’m in a living hell But I continue to dream of things I can’t afford But I’m striving I’m alive so I praise the lord As I lay I pray for a better day God bless the cecil want a taste so I keep the faith But I’m sick I will admit at times I wanna quit Just bargain with the thugs, sell drugs and shit Many brought me with the story, yeah I hear it often I’ll end up in jail or in a black coffin As some fingers that he’s sinking in the evil nature Many people Yo let me [kick flavor] my position But I’m living in a different prison In condition with a father who never listens To my thoughts, my ideas, it makes me sick Acting strict, and always wanna flip the script Always complaining, I’m straining just to make it, damnit Life’s a jingle when you’re living with a single parent I used to lean on the shoulder of my older brother Then he left me, my father with a stepmother And didn’t like it, I would fight it and cause drama Can't face her taking the place of my real mama She would hawk and talk, the little hypocrite Kissin’ me, dissin’ me, behind my back and shit We had conflicts, arguments yo I couldn’t hide I got bothered when my father took her side My pride crushed, my ego against people Selfish mentality in reality, my heart is lethal I got into myself for my health, for my sanity But lord, I praise it’s just one of those days Yo man it’s just one of those days, man Yo that’s the way it was, not anymore Yo man it’s just like, yo You got to make it in this world, yo Everything’s just hard, times is hard Y’know, cause that’s the way it is You got to just go all out The struggle continues man, yo You know, Brown Sugar I know you, you know me Everybody’s in the house The big shack, Danny Dan peace Here we out

CollapsePresumed Lyrics (Intro)

Yo,

God damn, another day

Yo, anyway (Verse 1) Early one morning I woke up yawning

Lost in the daze, a maze of brainstorming

Deja vu, a scene from a wet dream

The birds, the trees, some beam, and then I heard a scream

And then a slap, boom bap

Oh yeah I know the flavor

I expect domestic violence from my neighbors

The same routine what I mean no damn good

Sacrifice a beat on his wife to prove his manhood

Anyway, another day I say it doesn’t matter

Turn on my lights, get hyped, and watch the roaches scatter

Running, ducking, jumping so I don’t hit ‘em

A disgrace, a waste of time tryna kill ‘em

Disgusted, busted, a shower for a nice cleaning

It’s out of order don’t know it’s working but the water’s freezing

I want to break, scream and yell but who I tell

Times are worse, I curse, I’m in a living hell

But I continue to dream of things I can’t afford

But I’m striving I’m alive so I praise the lord

As I lay, I pray for a better day

God bless success, I want a taste, so I keep the faith

But I’m sick I will admit, at times I wanna quit

Just bargain with the thugs, sell drugs and shit

Many bore me with the story, yeah, I hear it often

I’ll end up in jail or in a black coffin

As I'm thinking that he’s sinking in the evil nature

Many people,

(Verse 2)

Yo, let me (kick flavor?) on my position

But I’m living in a different prison

In condition with a father who never listens

To my thoughts, my ideas, it makes me sick

Acting strict, and always wanna flip the script

Always complaining, I’m straining just to make it, damnit

Life’s a jingle when you’re living with a single parent

I used to lean on the shoulder of my older brother

Then he left and my father bought a stepmother

I didn’t like it, I would fight it and cause drama

Can't face her taking the place of my real mama

She would hawk and talk, the little hypocrite

Kiss me, diss me, behind my back and shit

We had conflicts, arguments yo I couldn’t hide

I got bothered when my father took her side

My pride crushed, my ego against people

Selfish mentality in reality, my heart is lethal

I got into myself for my health, for my sanity

But lord, I praise it’s just one of those days

(Outro)

Yo man, it’s just one of those days, man

Yo that’s the way it was, not anymore

Yo man it’s just like, yo

You got to make it in this world, yo

Everything’s just hard, times is hard

Y’know, cause that’s the way it is

You got to just go all out

Yo, the struggle continues man, yo

You know, Brown Sugar

I know you, you know me

Everybody’s in the house

The big Shack, Danny Dan,

Peace, we out
