Yo shit is real dogyou know?
Stay out the webcuz once you get caught up in the web
That’s ityou know?
They get you they got you good
Yo do the knowledgetake noticestay focused
Shit is realand it’s real hard out therefor a black nigga
[verse 1]
Ayo the way they doin me I can’t stand it
Branded as a social banditbut 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 timessometimesI 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 timethen i’ma do my time
They label you wrongwhen you try to do right
And then they wonder why a con is so uptight
I’m just livin proofof when you livin the truth
I been goin through bad timessince I was a youth
Now lookthey got me locked in jail
People wonderin will I prevail or fail
But only time will tell
My mindjust now and then
Lookin down the corridors and wonders what might have been
It was a bad day
[verse 2]
YoI wouldn’t even stand here and lie to youyeah 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 diedand the judge let me fry
And now I gotta kiss my lil daughter goodbye
All the pressuremake me wanna grab the tech off the dresser
But understand that don’t make you a man
So I address thesituation best way that I can
With a letter to the senatorfrom 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 knowunfortunatelytoday was a bad day
WordrecognizeI’m no different from you
You no different from meyou know
It was a bad day
[verse 3]
No slack for the rapperno 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 startI came from the heart
Giuliani got the nerve to oppose the million youth march
They confiscated my passportthough I might of boated
I’m young black and dangerous that’s why I got railroaded
And magazinesas if it’s been misquotedlet it be noted
They can’t break me to the streets I’m forever devoted
Yo
I’m tellin you manthis is lifeyou gotta live this life
Would you fallwould you make ityou never know
Today was a bad day
Livin proof of the truthlocked the fuck upon some bullshit
You knowyou livinright or wrong
It was a bad day
But yo keep your shit tightcuz when the get you they get you good
I had a bad day
YeahI understand you had a bad day
