Verse 1

Tom Gist:

I got problems, naw, I'm no flossin'

Notice in the lobby, there's no high raw

No jobs so I'm forced to be a nemisis

Notice on my door, them days lead to premisice

I can't be a straight dude

My girl said "There's something in the oven nigga, and it ain't food"

Sometimes I wanna slap her fuckin' lips off

Went to see my P.O. had to drop this off

I remember life was easy playin' kickball

Now I'm outcasted like Big Boi, playing with the big boys

And my day's straight horrible

Black boy slain, no need to read the article

I can't afford not to be selfish

Lookin' for a job is like lookin' for Elvis

Got my mind gone halfway

Today was a bad day



Tom Gist:

My nigga just got locked up again and shit

(Today was a bad day)

Grandma's gotta go back to the hospital

(Today was a bad day)



Verse 2

Tom Gist:

All I got is my word, a pad and a pen

Hey, them jokes ain't funny today

Hey, old folks say son just pray

Hey, so I can be broke, old, and gray, nay

Barely made it through last night

I spent my last on a oil change and there goes the gas, light

Damn dude the streets is sour

Even papi in a problem now, there's no more powder

Death might be my best bet

I'm wildin', throw some beats on in my headset

Rob called like "Waddup, duke"

"Same shit, yeah, this day was fucked up too"

Startin' to feel hungry, lookin' at my watch

'Bout to test my credit at the Chinese spot

Stay strong is what my dad say

(I hear you talkin' pops)

Today was a bad day



Tom Gist:

Fuckin' label told me I'm not what they lookin' for and shit man

(Today was a bad day)

Lil' cousin hit me talkin' 'bout she pregnant, she 15 man

(Today was a bad day)



Verse 3

Cam'ron:

Bacon, pig feet, all haul (chitlins)

Fall, small, feelin' like O-Dog

The F.B.I. got Shiest (Not Bub)

Zeke got knocked right, and I almost got life

And his bail was a hot price, not nice

Y'all shot dice, I got shot twice

And the feds heard my murder raps

Said my name was Killa, they put me on a murder rap

And they know it's absurd to rat

They ask me anyway

Nope, I never heard of that

My wifey going psycho

Sais she need the green, not the gecko from Geico

Mess wit' her, not the hottest chance

Told me write her some letters, only we out of stamps

Stood back in my mack stance, lack dance

Fine luxury, give him a lap dance

Left the crib and I'm posting

Squalie pulled me over, scoping

What's the commotion

Two people got killed in Harlem

Word to say today was a bad day



Cam'ron:

Today was a bad day

Today was a bad day

Today was a bad day

Today was a bad day
