Yo shit is real dogyou know? 

Stay out the webcuz once you get caught up in the web

They get you they got you good

Yo do the knowledgetake noticestay focused

Shit is realand it's real hard out therefor a black nigga



[verse 1]

Ayo the way they doin me I can't stand it

Branded as a social banditbut I'm a man and i'ma handle it

I'm not the first and I won't be the last

Just look how they did pac and tyson in the past

Yo at timessometimesI feel like I'm cursed

Because my life done went from bad to worse

Through all the stressful moments and all of the worry

I'ma still remain the same keith murray

Because I know deep in my heart God is on my side

If I gotta do my timethen i'ma do my time

They label you wrongwhen you try to do right

And then they wonder why a con is so uptight

I'm just livin proofof when you livin the truth

I been goin through bad timessince I was a youth

Now lookthey got me locked in jail

People wonderin will I prevail or fail

But only time will tell



My mindjust now and then

Lookin down the corridors and wonders what might have been

It was a bad day



[verse 2]

YoI wouldn't even stand here and lie to youyeah it's true

All the shit that you hear about I'm goin through

And we good people at heart jesus knows that we try

So I wonder why we get a break no time

My little sister just diedand the judge let me fry

And now I gotta kiss my lil daughter goodbye

All the pressuremake me wanna grab the tech off the dresser

But understand that don't make you a man

So I address thesituation best way that I can

With a letter to the senatorfrom the lyrical political prisoner

That the system label a sinister

In jail while I confess my sins to the minister

It's enough to make a nigga go a-wall

But for now I leave it in the hands of the lord



It's a real situation we all go through

You knowunfortunatelytoday was a bad day

WordrecognizeI'm no different from you

You no different from meyou know

It was a bad day



[verse 3]

No slack for the rapperno rest for the worried

Now everybody in the world heard of keith murray

When the hype dies down and reality sets in

We all goin through the same thing for a friend

And it ain't nothin good in the hood

Your own people will stab you in the back

Set you up and get you good

From the startI came from the heart

Giuliani got the nerve to oppose the million youth march

They confiscated my passportthough I might of boated

I'm young black and dangerous that's why I got railroaded

And magazinesas if it's been misquotedlet it be noted

They can't break me to the streets I'm forever devoted



Yo

I'm tellin you manthis is lifeyou gotta live this life

Would you fallwould you make ityou never know

Today was a bad day

Livin proof of the truthlocked the fuck upon some bullshit

You knowyou livinright or wrong

It was a bad day

But yo keep your shit tightcuz when the get you they get you good

I had a bad day

YeahI understand you had a bad day
