Bad Day

Yo, shit is real dog, you know?

Stay out the web, 'cuz once you get caught up in the web

That's it, you know? They get you they got you good

Yo, do the knowledge, take notice, stay focused

Shit is real and it's real hard out there, for a black nigga

Ayo, the way they doin' me I can't stand it

Branded as a social bandit, but I'm a man and I'ma handle it

I'm not the first and I won't be the last

Just look how they did Pac and Tyson in the past

Yo, at times, sometimes, I feel like I'm cursed

Because my life done went from bad to worse

Through all the stressful moments and all of the worry

I'ma still remain the same Keith Murray

Because I know deep in my heart God is on my side

If I gotta do my time, then I'ma do my time

They label you wrong, when you try to do right

And then they wonder why a con is so uptight

I'm just livin' proof, of when you livin' the truth

I been goin' through bad times, since I was a youth

Now look, they got me locked in jail

People wonderin' will I prevail or fail

But only time will tell, my mind, just now and then

Lookin' down the corridors and wonders what might have been

It was a bad day

Yo, I wouldn't even stand here and lie to you, yeah it's true

All the shit that you hear about I'm goin' through

And we good people at heart Jesus knows that we try

So I wonder why we get a break no time

My little sister just died and the judge let me fry

And now I gotta kiss my lil' daughter goodbye

All the pressure, make me wanna grab the tech off the dresser

But understand that don't make you a man

So I address the, situation best way that I can

With a letter to the senator, from the lyrical political prisoner

That the system label a sinister

In jail while I confess my sins to the minister

It's enough to make a nigga go A-Wall

But for now I leave it in the hands of the Lord

It's a real situation we all go through

You know, unfortunately

Today was a bad day word, recognize

I'm no different from you

You no different from me

You know, it was a bad day

No slack for the rapper, no rest for the worried

Now everybody in the world heard of Keith Murray

When the hype dies down and reality sets in

We all goin through the same thing for a friend

And it ain't nothin' good in the hood

Your own people will stab you in the back

Set you up and get you good

From the start, I came from the heart

Giuliani got the nerve to oppose the million youth march

They confiscated my passport, though I might of boated

I'm young black and dangerous that's why I got railroaded

And magazines, as if it's been misquoted, let it be noted

They can't break me to the streets I'm forever devoted

Yo I'm tellin' you man, this is life, you gotta live this life

Would you fall, would you make it, you never know

Today was a bad day

Livin' proof of the truth, locked the f**k up, on some bullshit

You know, you livin', right or wrong

It was a bad day

But yo keep your shit tight

'Cuz when the get you they get you good

I had a bad day

Yeah, I understand you had a bad day
