The Black Ace - Another Day lyrics

Ooh Oh, Ooh Oh, Yeah Ooh Oh, Yeah [1st Verse] Consciousness awakens, I open up my eyes Reality grips my mind, my body begins to rise Wiping away the crust, still dreaming of better times But my soul is wide awake so my spirit begins to rhyme Shaking away the weight of the day that just pa**ed Washing myself anew, it’s the birth of a version better than the last Shedding my mistakes like a cast I’m getting schooled in how to live right, and I’m on my way to cla** Each day I’m getting taught by a different kind of teacher From the home of Mother Nature to the house of Father Preacher No time to stress about girls, money and books, but yet I do I don’t try, but I guess it’s just a result of what I’ve been through Caught in daily struggles like I have two personalities The part that’s never given up and the part that’s always doubted me But like ying and yang, they’re two parts of a pair The everlasting search for a balance that’s always there But hides in plain sight, tell me that ain’t the cla**ic schism Like how we all can gain the knowledge but not everyone gets the wisdom Step by step, I move towards my dreams On the stairway to heaven, found in the clouds’ seams Ooh Oh, Ooh Oh, Yeah (x2) Da da dee da dow da Oh Ooh Oh, Yeah [2nd Verse] No need to make a name for myself, I have more than one I’m Adrian, my brother’s brother, my mother and father’s son But I’ve always been the black ace, even when it was day one Even when I was AD, even when it was just for fun I was always determined, two words from a name I still am ’cause the sun I wrote under then is the same Now, and as I walk the road less traveled by those who stay true I remind myself of a saying I came up with as a youth Be better than my past self And work harder than my last self Try to make the people in my family proud Try to make the people in my circle loud Shouting “The Black Ace! That’s my man! Always knew he’d make it so I’ve been a fan Fans see me in the street, they should grab a cam They know I walk how I talk, never been a sham My hopes are so high, people call me insane My rhymes are so fly you should call em a plane I’m shouting my message, this anti depressant But feeling the conflict inside of my brain It’s just another day
