"Day By Day" lyrics

Look
I'm 17 with a little boy dream, a grown man's stocks, and a broke man's scheme
Last thing I wanna be called is a G or a Thug
I just wanna share my thoughts and my people some love
I mean, Don't get it twisted
Yeah I met a couple killas that'll put one in your head, And look at theyselves in the mirror and chuckle
Load the clip up
Keep they jacket zipped up
And put that fuckin steel right back under they buckle
But I never understood how they could take somebodies life away
Without fearing the consequence, or the price to pay
Cause what goes around comes around
That's why I break bread with my people, and I try to keep my mother proud
But it's hard when everybody tryna test you, being successful is stressful
And every person you next to, you thinking they out to get you
When all the goals that you set yourself you never got to get to
Keep your head up, and remember the shit you been through
And remember the shit you been through
Just remember the shit you been through
Yo, but just keep your head up, and remember the shit you been through

We all go through good times, but it never always stays that way
Cause then along comes the bad times
But just keep your head up and take it day by day
We all go through good times, but it never always stays that way
Cause then along comes the bad times
But just keep your head up and take it day by day

Yo
I'm 25 with a wise man's dream
Got the mind of an addict, Imma fiend for the cream
Used to do it for the love, but
Love never paid the bills
Working hard, No 9 to 5
Shit I had to build bridges from the ground up
Them regulators mount up
Haters try to clown us, but yet they still around us
Rappers ask for verses, first thing I say is how much?
I'm living off my words, this is for the cats who doubt us
Now what? Veteran, I ain't even 30 yet
Making moves on the grind, hands ain't even dirty yet
I felt the pain like virgin sex, we taking off like turbo jets
I'm a nice guy, but give me a gun I murder shit
Don't get it twisted kid, I'm cool cause I choose to
But don't you ever let my kindness confuse you
My only weakness is having a heart and being loyal
Otherwise most of you haters we'll be dead in the soil

We all go through good times, but it never always stays that way
Cause then along comes the bad times
But just keep your head up and take it day by day
We all go through good times, but it never always stays that way
Cause then along comes the bad times
But just keep your head up and take it day by day

Yeah
And yo my heart is like sunshine
When it rains and it pours so its, kind of cloudy sometimes
And how I feel it, really how I feel it
Tryna keep my head up elevated past the ceiling
But okay look, really take a look
Tryna make these memories to add em to my year book
Silly right? yeah yeah I know
But I'm headed to the top, that's word across the globe
And, word through the grape vine
Yeah, uh
Is that? I be on top like a border line
I'm on top like an overbite
Yeah, o-on top like missionary
Yeah that's a couple metaphors to get my point across
I don't believe in luck, I got my fingers crossed
And that's a total contradiction
I kiss my girl and tell her she's brighter than constellations
And turn to the world like
Yeah, like silver what it look like
Yeah, and I turn to the world like
Uh, like silver what it look like

We all go through good times, but it never always stays that way
Cause then along comes the bad times
But just keep your head up and take it day by day
We all go through good times, but it never always stays that way
Cause then along comes the bad times
But just keep your head up and take it day by day
