good and bad things come in life

and I wish the good things would stay

but usually it don't go my way

and the good things fly away

I have a knack for doing wrong

but I try and I try

maybe my future don't look so bright

but I'm not asking why



you gotta live your life from day to day

that's the only way

don't fear the things that you don't know

just listen and learn

and let the hard feelings go



I try to make new friends from day to day

and if they respect me man fuck they're ok

it's the yuppity white people that fear me

that I can't stand to see

cause if you're a good person at heart

your color means nothing to me

I talk to so many black people from day to day

and it seems like every time I see a white person

they just turn away



you gotta live your life from day to day

that's the only way

don't fear the things that you don't know

just listen and learn and let the hard feelings go



you gotta live your life from day to day

ya ya that's the only way

don't fear the things that you don't know

just listen and learn and let the hard feelings go
