9th Wonder - Day To Day lyrics

[Verse One: Spectac] Ayo this whole game is cut throat Literally they cutting out votes While telling poor folks there's still no hope But as long as there's dope in the game Poor folks will be waiting for change sh** still stays the same And we ain't really mad 'bout life just aggravated by this fight Our Stealth Bombers still can't fly right That billion dollars we spent could've been some poor man's rent We wrote him off a product of the environment And jobs ain't hiring 1/3 is firing And those that got jobs they thinking 'bout retiring New York State of Mind, crime, police and firemen Since 9/11 so many of them dying Population multiplying No food to feed 'em Where's the sad love songs to sing when you need 'em? And little Billy across the ocean, hoping and wishing We send him more food instead we send him more missiles It's so redundant New Keds they so abundant The Hiroshima bomb when it dropped, did we learn from it? It turns my stomach all the games that we play Everything we do and say still we do it day to day [Hook: L.E.G.A.C.Y.] From day to day, ain't nothing to play with No jokes, no games kid For years we been doing the same from day to day Stuck in this rat race no room for last place For years we been doing the same from day to day Ain't nothing to play with No jokes, no games kid For years we been doing the same from day to day Stuck in this rat race no room for last place For years we been doing the same [Verse Two: Spectac] Still deaf dumb and blind, yelling "No child was left behind" Signs of the times, I gotta wonder if we out our minds White kids skipping school pumping needles 30 years ago they pump The Beatles Remember black kids, caught the holy ghost? Now they catch bullets like "Holy smokes" I need to find a method like Hall & Oats And more to love is not the answer I heard they got a cure for cancer But they won't tell us cause the profit's handsome And when I try and think, better days, better ways Conversate with secretary Paige about this outrage Teachers being underpaid, minorities is catching AIDS Most of them dropping out of school at an early age But someday I hope teach 'em all to think wisely So they don't be the one that gets cloned next Friday Be a n***a with the same body, same facial features Mind of a outer space creature It's hard to meet your maker When you're making yourself Ain't this government something else? I send a heartfelt shout out to my people's who Learn tricknowledgy, still rock Wallabys, speak like they royalty Educated thug from the corn field of S.C I lounge where the vest be cause sad times depress me Spectac and Justus League They're governors of the Carolinas Here's a word from your sponsor Listen to the southern spit L.E.G.A.C.Y. speak politic, day to day sh**, that's it [Hook] [Verse Three: L.E.G.A.C.Y.] The country evil City filled with sick people The older generation watches the new one Fold to temptation, there's leaders and there's followers Misled F.E.D.s that follow us On the lay low Surveillance equipment in Winnebagos Open your front door, move when I say so Ash to ash, corpse to corpse in Waco Towards the end of time, as the warning signs Are amongst us, it's just us No peace Stray bullets with no leash Two teams, letting the shots go Remember the madness in Colorado No hope is worthless Bullet holes in churches Loan sharks with no heart Drug addicts with plush habits Detectives stay after murder leads Women unpretty, getting plastic surgery Barbie dreams, for silicone breast pay the price We take it day to day right? an*lyze why and how it flies by No blinking, all alone thinking It's crazy, with my head down They sell babies on the web now [Hook]
