Lyrics

A Day In The Life
Written by: Kenya Sims & Nzinga Hatch


A day in the life a life in a day, Kofy?s funky like a blue black Monday hot bacon and eggs, Brothas frying like chicken legs we?re birthin men then digging their graves rage on rage, I got an ax to grind I?ll match you rhyme for rhyme pine box for crime
My neighborhood signs reading cemetery lines, and in my mind ain?t no use in crying
I ain?t the last or the first, sista?s of the men in the hearse, it gets worse and worse
And brotha when I turn to you the world rolls through like rage on rage on rage
We can?t communicate, thin line from love to hate thick and thin bone to skin
Rock to stone and we boned and we boned and we boned, now that man is gone

Chorus: A Day in the life a life in a day and we?re hoping and we?re coping
A day in the life a life in a day and we?re searching but we?re hurting
A day in the life a life in a day we?re trying but we?re dying
A day in the life a life in a day we?re looking for a brighter day

My son has got to learn to survive, be a man by taking his own stand
I?ll teach him well and teach him right, to keep his brain on focus and his grip held tight
To be wise and street like an outlaw, never afraid hard core,
He knows his enemies yes he?s got plenty
But he?s also got strength of many, cause he knows about his African past
ties are strong black skin will always last, from the Congo or maybe the Bush, he?ll never know the truth of his roots, Cause when they stole us they took our live, and now we want to think it?s right to live white,
That ain?t the way it should be, this ain?t our culture never claimed to be
We?ll I?m telling you cause I?m mad as hell but nobody knows and nobody cares

Chorus: A Day in the life a life in a day and we?re hoping and we?re coping
A day in the life a life in a day and we?re searching but we?re hurting
A day in the life a life in a day we?re trying but we?re dying
A day in the life a life in a day we?re looking for a brighter day

I feel like a runaway fighting on the underground, information is what I?ve found
Spreading like an infection at the direction to uplift and unify
Kofy?s on the rise feeling wise and clever, I?m sporting a natural feeling larger than ever
I got a black heart black soul black mind, looking to find a little piece of my own mind
But I feel deranged like I?m insane when I see my people being maimed and gamed
Even trained to be booty shaking entertainers, thinking we got it all being played by the players, Information is strength, like a shot gut load your weapon keep it aimed my son
Rage and anger floods your soul but nobody cares and nobody knows?

Chorus: A Day in the life a life in a day and we?re hoping and we?re coping
A day in the life a life in a day and we?re searching but we?re hurting
A day in the life a life in a day we?re trying but we?re dying
A day in the life a life in a day we?re looking for a brighter day
