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
