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
[verse 1] 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
[verse 2] 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
[verse 3] 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 fuck 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
